The perfect weekend look is often harder to achieve than you might think. You’re craving a key change from the clothes you’ve been wearing all week long, you want to feel comfortable, but if you’re out and about you also want to look put together – essentially, you want to enjoy your weekend clothes, not shy away from them.
The first port of call is to invest in some great basics. The Fits Everybody T-shirt from Skims (the range by Kim Kardashian that has just dropped at Brown Thomas) boasts a crewneck and silky-soft fabric, making it the perfect essential for layering under jumpers, blazers or dressing up with a satin slip skirt and trainers. Equally, denim is key – it’s worth investing in a well made pair of jeans that will see you through season after season. The Pandana straight leg denim jeans, below, are by Weekend Max Mara – the diffusion range from Max Mara is a precise edit of clothing that caters to off-duty dressing.
Invest in a pair of loafers you’ll love – chunky styles are in vogue right now, equally ballet flats are de rigueur – look to pairs with embellishment such as rhinestones or silver studs which nod to cult flats from designers like Alaïa. What’s more, a do-it-all coat is your winter weekend dressing hero – the Light Coat, below, by Avoca, blends Donegal wool with mohair that’s woven at Avoca’s Wicklow mill. Its cocoon shape makes it the perfect accompaniment for winter walks however the dark colour is dressy enough for throwing over silken separates for drinks or dinner.
