While slouchy tees, stretchy pants, and fuzzy boots have a rightful place in those 48 precious hours you have to yourself at week's end, there's something to be said for stepping up your style when you're stepping out. It's actually quite simple; the trick is to stick with sleek, well-tailored separates to create stylish, off-duty ensembles. Below, four looks to try this weekend (with pieces you probably already own!).
Heading to a Three-Hour Brunch
The simplest way to streamline any outfit is to go monochromatic (save for your shoes and purse). A blousy overcoat, a chunky knit sweater, and a pair of skinny jeans look infinitely richer when they're all in a gorgeous gray palette.

Catching a Movie Matinee
While the Canadian tuxedo is already so on trend, you can make double denim feel even more unbothered by cuffing the sleeves and ankles, as well as leaving the chambray shirt untucked in the back. No need for a belt; the two-tone booties and fringed clutch add that extra touch of sophistication.

Meandering Through the Farmers Market
A flouncy floral skirt + sweatshirt combo can feel slightly adolescent as separates, but the addition of a collarless overcoat, a pair of suede over-the-knee boots, and an oversize tote gives this youthful look an adult spin.

Grabbing Drinks (Then Dinner, Then Dancing)
