The Work-to-Weekend Wardrobe: Pieces That Do Double Duty

A great wardrobe should work for more than one part of your life. The best pieces can move from weekday to weekend with just a few styling changes.

This is especially important for busy women who want to look polished but do not want an overstuffed closet.

The blazer

For work, wear it with trousers, a blouse, and loafers.For the weekend, wear it with denim, a tee, and sneakers.

The trouser

For work, style it with a button-down or knit top.For the weekend, pair it with a tank and flat sandal.

The midi dress

For work, add a blazer and closed-toe shoe.For the weekend, add a denim jacket and sandal.

The dark denim

For work, style with a blazer and refined flat.For the weekend, wear with a tee, cardigan, and sneaker.

The button-down

For work, tuck it into trousers.For the weekend, wear it open over a tank or half-tucked into denim.

The loafer or flat

A great flat can make work outfits feel modern while still being comfortable enough for errands, travel, and everyday life.

The lightweight jacket

A cropped jacket, utility jacket, or denim jacket can make outfits feel complete without being too formal.

My style prescription

Before buying something new, ask whether it can work in at least two areas of your life. The more ways you can wear a piece, the more valuable it becomes.
