How to Ready Your Wardrobe for the Weekend

There are some rules to making weekend wear really work for you…..read, read again, and act!

• When in a pinch, stick with a white button-down….but then again, try to add a little flair with a check print  or pinstripes
• Being on vacation is not an excuse for ignoring style rules
• Holes/rips in jeans? Yes. In sweaters? No.
• The shinier or pointier the shoe, the less casual the shoe
• Bomber jackets = brown. Bikers jackets = black
• Denim is the universal “yes” so everything that works includes tweed, cotton, sneakers, brogues, loafers and jackets
• Age adds a bit of patina to everything including white shirts – so keep them new!
• Velour sweatsuits – no!
• Watch weekend wear is leather
• Never tuck in sweaters or turtlenecks; always tuck in shirts that hang below your hip
• Please refrain from wearing anything that shows your nipples
• No need for petal pushers or rolled up jeans…unless you’re wading in water
• “BBQ,” “Bring the kids,” “Come as you are,” “BYO” = casual
• Baseball caps – yes. Fedoras – yes. Trilbys – yes. Berets – no.
• If you’re kinda wide, horitzontal stripes are not your friend
• Tees and tanks are underwear, not shirts.  Plan accordingly.
• Feel free to let it all go – as long as pulling it back together, takes less than an hour
• Fitted is appropriate. Snug is uncomfortable. Tight is wrong.
