One Jacket You Need For Work And Play

by Shannon Nash

If you’re looking for a chic weekend brunch outfit, try building a look around your favorite blazer. Push up the sleeves and flip the collar to give the jacket a relaxed vibe. Mix this attitude with a striped t-shirt, loose-fit trousers and casual cool accessories for a polished and easy look. Don’t forget to add a pop of color with a red lip and high gloss nails…oh, and a hint of sparkle with some delicate diamond jewels.

Easy Weekend Pieces

These are the must-have pieces for a casual and polished weekend look.

Loose-Fit Blazer

A classic loose-fit blazer in black or navy is the ultimate investment piece since it works for the office and on the weekend.

Striped T-Shirt

Equal parts nautical and Parisian, navy and white stripes are a chic addition to any ensemble.

Transparent Sunnies

If you want to add a mod '60s feel to your look, try adding clear frame sunnies.

Relaxed Trousers

Swap your usual jeans for tailored loose-fit trousers. Black and navy separates work together so don't be afraid to pair black pants with a navy blazer.

High Gloss Red Nails

Since wardrobe staples are often dark hues, add color with a high gloss manicure and pedicure in bright red.

Barely-There Sandal

Barely-there sandals are a glamorous and casual accessory that every woman should have in her closet.

Delicate Jewelry

A little sparkle goes a long way! As you're running out the door for brunch, don't forget to add a touch of bling with a delicate gold cuff and diamond stud earrings.

Bright Lips

Complete the look with a red lip and you're good to go!
