15 Street-Style Shots, Fit For a Polished Weekend Warrior

If you're like us, the weekend means lazy mornings, late brunch dates, outdoor activities (weather permitting), and cocktail-infused evenings. To this point, we do away with our stricter "dress codes" and opt, instead, for laid-back silhouettes, casual-cool kicks, and cozy layers. And who can blame us? The thing is, this two-day respite isn't about sacrificing our sense of style, but rather, that we take care to indulge in our off-duty panache, too. Take cues from these street-style pros, who've mixed chic basics (blazers, slick skinny jeans, and loose-fitted t-shirts) with funkier complements (Isabel Marant pumped-up sneakers, classic leather loafers, and old-school Chucks) to create the perfect weekend-warrior ensemble. We've got 15 shots to be exact — so, grab your flats and your favorite pair of worn-in jeans, and get to it.

Offset a playful polka-dot print with Chucks and a solid toned shirt.

Kick up your cool factor with a wide-brimmed hat, floral blazer, and, oh yeah, a pair of Isabel Marant pumped-up sneakers.

Pair monochromatic pieces with one bright accent — a bold orange pant will provide a serious style statement.

Do the bare minimum, but make sure to make it pop. A fluoro-hued topper and printed Missoni for Converse kicks should do the trick.

We love the '90s vibe showcased here. To re-create it, embellish an old-school denim jacket with oversized pearls; then, style it with a cheeky printed t-shirt and slick flats.

No need to gussy up. Just add a cool exotic printed clutch and classic loafers to your look for a refined finish.

Denim on denim can be ultracool, especially if you mix the washes and add an unexpected dynamic element to the finished look (à la bold red ankle boots).

Channel a preppier version of off-duty style — stripes, reds, and a printed scarf to go with.

Add a modern Chanel-inspired tweed jacket to your casual attire.

Dress up your tea-time outfit with costume jewelry and leopard-print loafers.

Make a serious case for neon hues via a tribal-infused bead necklace and electric green flats.

Even if you wear your kicks all weekend long, you can still retain an overt sense of femininity via light, lacy pieces.

For cooler Spring days, top your look with a leather jacket and suede booties.

Don your coziest pair of sneakers with tie-dye jeans — guarantee you all eyes will be on the wild print.

Soup up your flats by investing in a vivid pastel hue. Then, rock them with your head-to-toe white outfit.
