3 Weekend Outfits That Work On Monday

by Kate Wolfson

We’re big believers that triple digit temps afford some serious sartorial freedoms for blurring the lines between your chill-out clothes and office-ready garb. And while we’re not suggesting instituting a wear-your-bikini-to-work policy, summertime is ideal for experimenting with creative weekend-to-workweek outfit repurposing.

Herewith, the street style-inspired day-off looks that’ll take you from Sunday right into Monday with a few minor tweaks.

Meet The 3 Looks That Get The Job Done

Seeing Red

A skater dress in a punchy hue is right up there on the wardrobe must-have list with the classic trench coat and lady pump.

When worn on its own with a pair of high-tops and quirky accessories, this dress takes on a fun, easygoing vibe.

By adding an extra layer, matching nail polish and the aforementioned lady pump, the look is instantly catapulted into work-appropriate territory.

Silky Business

Breezy silk pants are synonymous with summer. Plus, with the addition of a chunky sweater, they can easily carry you straight into fall.

Treat your feet to the comfort of tried-and-true espadrilles and get ready to spend the weekend lounging around in this easy combo.

Just a few sleek add-ons (in this case, a leather tee and ankle strap sandals) lend the breezy trousers wear-to-work status.

White Hot

Complimentary to just about any body type and occasion, the midi shirt-dress is the item you’ll reach for again and again.

Temper the prim silhouette with an edgy cross-body bag and a pair of leopard-print slides.

For work, leave the sky-high heels at home and opt for fancy flats instead. A structured bag and print-happy belt tie it all together.
