The Weekend Wardrobe
3 Effortless Outfits for Refined Leisure
The weekend is a time for ease, relaxation, and recharging. At Elevate & Adorn, we believe your style should reflect that, which is why we champion the art of "refined leisure"—the practice of looking chic and intentionally styled, even on your most relaxed days. It’s about choosing comfortable, high-quality pieces and pairing them with thoughtful, elegant touches.
Our Soft Cotton Bottoms collection is the perfect foundation for this aesthetic. This guide provides three go-to outfit formulas to ensure your weekend wardrobe is the perfect blend of comfort and chic.
Look 1: The Farmers' Market
A slow weekend morning spent browsing a local farmers' market calls for an outfit that is both charming and practical. The goal is a fresh, breezy look that feels effortlessly put-together.
For this, a beautiful woven skirt is a perfect choice. Style our Poplin Print Mini Skirt With Ribbon Trim or the High Waist Gathered Mini Skirt with a simple, high-quality Pima cotton bodysuit tucked in. The crisp, breathable cotton will keep you comfortable under the morning sun. Complete the look with elegant flat leather sandals and a large woven straw tote to carry your fresh flowers and produce.
Look 2: The Art Gallery & Lunch
For an afternoon of culture, like a visit to an art gallery followed by a lovely lunch, you need a look that is both comfortable enough for walking and polished enough for a nice restaurant. This is where elevated textures and smart silhouettes shine.
Choose a piece with a bit more detail, like our Mini Jacquard Skirt or the classic Pleated Contrast Trim Skort. Pair these more detailed bottoms with a sophisticated, fine-gauge mock-neck knit top. A pair of low block-heeled mules provides a touch of height while still being comfortable, and a structured leather crossbody bag completes the sophisticated ensemble.
Look 3: Relaxing at a Cafe
Sometimes the best part of the weekend is a simple, quiet moment, like enjoying a coffee at your favorite cafe. For this, your outfit should be the ultimate blend of comfort and cool, modern style.
The Cinched Mini Skort With Drawstring is the ideal foundation for this look. Its comfortable, easy-to-wear silhouette is practical and relaxed. Pair this effortless skort with a simple, well-fitting bodysuit and finish the look with a pair of clean, minimalist sneakers. Drape a classic, slightly oversized denim jacket over your shoulders for a touch of timeless cool.
Feeling comfortable and looking chic are not mutually exclusive. With a few key foundational pieces and some thoughtful pairings, your weekend style can be the epitome of effortless elegance, ensuring you feel your absolute best during your well-deserved time off.
