We all know that stressful feeling at
Monday morning when the work week is starting. As the days are passing, the
pressure decreases and the expectancy of the end of the week increases.
Finally, after a long, long work week comes the weekend you’ve been waiting
for.
The weekend isn’t just the time when
you can relax, hangout more with your friends and leave all your worries
behind, it’s also an opportunity to drop your work outfit and give a chance to
all those nice and casual clothing which languish in your wardrobe, to shine.
This is the right time to show your individuality and creativity, but you
shouldn’t try too hard or the carefree nature of the weekend can be pointless.
After all, there’s nothing better than an outfit that’s comfortable and
actually stylish, right?
Here are some advices to spark your
imagination on how to choose the perfect outfit for those hot summer weekends.
Play with a Colours
Since you aren’t in office anymore, you don’t have to
stick to a conventional choice of colours or monochromatic and reduced look.
Your summer weekend outfit should be colourful and bright. White will look
especially good on you if you’re already tanned. But, if you prefer floral
dresses, in order to keep a casual look stick to models with clean
lines and easy shapes.

Share the Vibe
Your clothes can communicate your
inner spirit, so if you're feeling great why wouldn’t you share that mood with
others? Regardless if it’s your friend, a cashier or just a passer-by, they
will notice your expression and maybe it will have an effect on them.

For example, chose a t-shirt with some
funny quote, picture or a pattern. Or simply, wear something with navy stripes
or just plain black or red; it will remind everyone to the beach, and only a
few things are more relaxing than a snapshot of the endless blue (except
actually being there, of course).
Loosen up
Being casual is a crucial element in a
simple, but effective summer look. Due to high temperatures it’s a good idea to
prioritize natural fabrics, like cotton or linen. Try a loose dress, jumpsuit,
short-sleeved or a button up blouse. Tip: if you are wearing a long shirt don’t
button up all the way - leave the top three buttons loose.

Show Some Skin
One of the most effective and
practical pieces of clothing, for an effortless and stylish look, is a short
denim. It’s length and shade is up to you, but a lighter colour is more
appropriate, especially for a daytime combination. If you’re going to spend your weekend on a
beach (lucky you!), a swimming pool or maybe at a cottage, having a barbecue, a
bikini-top combined with shorts would be a great choice. Throw in a bohemian
style kimono, and you’re ready to have some fun. While you at it don't forget
to get a tan.

Don’t Forget the Details
Even the simplest combination, like a
t-shirt and a mini skirt, can be special if you add some accessories to it.
Consider the boho style; it’s hyppie and romantic characteristics
are perfect for achieving a chic look. Sunglasses are necessary to complete
your outfit and a great way to add a subtle touch of your personal style to it.

There are many different styles like:
retro, pilot, cateye, the Lennon's style etc. You probably already know what
shape is the most suitable for you.
Comfortable Way is the Best Way
Choose a footwear that goes along with
your outfit, but try to avoid high heels. Flat shoes, like sneakers, ballerina
flats or flat sandals are more comfortable and appropriate for any setting and
a casual look. But if you can’t imagine yourself being so closed to the ground,
pick platform sandals - they’ll look less serious than the ones with heels.

Basically, when it comes to a summer
weekend, everything is allowed. The most important thing is to feel comfortable
with what you’re wearing and to keep it as simple as you can. After all, it’s
your time to relax, so try to keep your worries and effort at the minimum and
have some fun.
