What to wear at the weekend
Pick soft, relaxed pieces you feel good in: a tee or sweater, comfortable jeans or trousers and a jacket you can drop on a chair. Choose shoes for walking, because weekend plans tend to change.
Two outfits that work
White tee, olive jacket, relaxed jeans
- white cotton tee
- olive utility jacket
- relaxed mid-blue jeans
- sand suede trainers
A tee under a light jacket copes with a market in the morning and a terrace in the afternoon.
Grey sweater, dark jeans, waxed jacket
- grey crew-neck sweater
- dark blue jeans
- brown waxed jacket
- brown suede boots
A sweater and a waxed jacket keep you warm on a walk and still look neat if you end up in a pub.

Questions people ask
What is a good weekend outfit?
Jeans or relaxed trousers, a soft top and a light jacket, with shoes you can walk in. It works for a market, a lunch and a walk.
Can I wear a tracksuit on weekends?
For home and a quick errand, yes. For a cafe or lunch, choose jeans or chinos; they feel just as relaxed.
How do I look put together without trying hard?
Pick clothes that fit well and keep to two or three colours. A clean pair of shoes does most of the work.
What should I wear if I might end up at a restaurant?
Dark jeans, a good top and a jacket cover it. Leave the very worn pieces at home.
