Weekend Wear: Get Your Brunch On In These Comfortable Classics
THIS STORY WAS SPONSORED BY GUESS WATCHES.
After a week’s worth of hard work, you’ve earned the right to start your weekend off with a leisurely brunch, and your clothing should reflect how relaxed you feel. Casual staples, like a grey crewneck sweater and white sneakers, that are comfortable, yet still on point should be your go-to. This Connect Smartwatch by Guess fits the stylishly understated direction of the rest of your outfit, and will help you make sure you don’t miss your reservation.
1. KOTN Raglan Sweatshirt, $75
In today’s athleisure-obsessed times, a perfectly cut grey, crewneck sweatshirts is almost like the Holy Grail. Elevated from its gymnasium roots to be a key part of weekend wear, it easily goes with everything from jeans to joggers to chinos. And, unlike going out for brunch, will only get better with age.
2. Colmar Originals Down Jacket, $850
Lightweight down jackets have quickly become a favourite for fall thanks to their ability to keep the cold at bay while retaining a streamlined and minimalist design. This version has small hits of grey as an accent, and features a proper hood that can withstand the wind and rain of autumn.
Smartwatches are all the rage and Guess has entered the fray with their well thought out and fashionable Guess Connect Watch, a collaboration with Martian Watches. They’ve married a traditional watch with smartphone connectivity — a screen on the watch face allows for notifications to be shown, while a hidden mic and speaker lets you take calls and issue commands.
Jeans may be your normal go-to when dressing down, but consider a twill jogger instead. Pick up an updated pair in a slim cut and done in a military-inspired shade of olive — you’ll be surprised how easy to wear (and relax in) they are.
5. Guild Eyewear Classics Sunglasses, $250
Just because it’s no longer summer doesn’t mean the sun won’t be showing it’s face, so having a pair of smart looking sunglasses on hand is still a necessity. These frames are called the “Classics” for a reason — the traditional shape and keyhole bridge are have stood the test of time and will look good on just about anyone.
6. Veja Esplar Leather Extra White Sneakers, $140
The reign of the white sneaker is still going strong. Like the best kicks, these are a study in simplicity. The upper is pristine and features minimalist branding and understated design details in the stitching around the laces and the suede patch at the heel.
