We all like to be comfortable on the weekends, and for me, that often equates to outfits made up entirely of spandex. Yes, I know. It's a little lazy. But lately, my idea of luxuriating in my time off involves donning my comfiest gym attire [1] so I can tackle errands, actual workouts, and casual friend hangs with ease. Sure, as a fashion editor, this might sound a little unexpected. But don't worry, I dial up the chic when necessary.
If, like me, you favour comfort over style for most of your weekend, there's a good chance you could benefit from a little outfit inspiration that goes beyond stretchy fabrics. Correction: cute stretchy fabrics [2]. You know, easy outfit combos [3] based around comfy-cute pieces like weightless dresses, breezy skirts, comfortable shorts [4], and so-soft jumpsuits paired with wardrobe essentials [5] like tees, tanks, and shirts.
Well, as fate would have it, I've put together five utterly delightful outfits to wear on the weekends that are just as pleasant as your favourite pair of leggings [6]. Whether you're getting away for a couple of days, hitting up a Summer soiree, or planning a few meet-ups with friends, these looks are a level up from "comfy attire" without feeling like you're maxing out on effort. They're supereasy, infact! All centreing around relaxed pieces with fun-but-not-fussy accessories that, to wit, are all affordable including under-$52 styles from the POPSUGAR collection at Kohl's [7].
Whether you're a dress [8], skirt, jumpsuit [9], or shorts kinda gal, get inspired by the five weekend outfits ahead. Then, for more casual-cute outfit ideas, head over to The Outfit Bar at Kohl's [10], where you'll discover a range of affordable looks to get you through the rest of Summer in style.
