There’s no better time than the summer to plan a weekend staycation—you know, using your city as a playground and creating your own little vacay with your best girlfriends. Though you might not be hopping aboard a plane or train, you still need a weekend wardrobe that’ll promise to take you through a multitude of activities. Enter: GANT Rugger’s spring/summer collection, whose leisurely, city-chic separates are designed to be mixed and matched for the ultimate girl-on-the-go wardrobe. Here, we’ve laid out everything you need to take you from brunch to backyard BBQ to happy hour (which can all fit into a weekender bag) so you can focus on what’s really important—aka having the best staycation ever.

Brunch

A playful lace top and classic denim shorts are easy summer separates that can be mixed and matched a myriad of ways. When styled with a floral-print bomber, it becomes the perfect look for brunch with the girls.

Backyard BBQ

For some outdoor fun in the sun, don a silk camisole with your tried-and-true denim shorts. Fashion a lightweight button-down around your waist, which you can throw on for extra warmth as the sun goes down.

Happy Hour

Feign a romper with slinky, striped separates—the lightweight silk promises to keep you cool in case the night ends in dancing. For added model-off-duty vibes, throw a bomber jacket over your shoulders.

Accessories

A few key accessories will keep you covered for all-day affairs. Keep a cool summer scarf and colorful sunnies at arm's length, and stow your essentials in a crossbody bag.
