If you have your working style sussed but are stumped as to what to be wearing in your leisure time then look no further for some ideas in casual chic. Sometimes we all get a little stumped for which style to go for and what parts to choose to achieve our desired aesthetic. Whether youre going out with the girls, having some me-time, out at the market with your nearest and dearest or gallery going we look at how to attain a comfortable yet stylish approach to your weekend wanders.

If youre heading out to a bar with your guy after meeting the girls for lunch, why not wear something that is comfortable yet sexy, in a relaxed way! Interesting tops are great to pair with your favourite jeans, so go for intricate necklines like cute key-holes that reveal just a hint of cleavage or a sexy scoop that you can dress up with a directional, statement necklace.

At the weekend we do not want to waste valuable time changing when we can be having fun, so choose an outfit that you can roll easily from day to night in. Sexy shift dresses are flattering as the straight up and down style elongates and doesnt cling to thighs and hips. Floor length maxis are also fantastic to look effortlessly hot, think Sienna Miller and the Olsen twins out and about. The dainty ladies will look envious in a glam off-shoulder style and the babes with great busts can go strapless. Maxis seem to be the perfect solution to the season of party and sin at the weekend!

Another great tip is to layer up, invest in some boleros/shrugs and shawls in an easy-to-match colour palette that you can throw on or off depending on your mood and environment, you will look like you have been home to get changed! Adding a bolero or shawl in a contrasting colour also works well when day turns to night and perfect for the interchangeable weather. Also add interest on the move-opt for detachable accessories like broaches, corsages and slim scarves that you can pop in and out of your bag in seconds. The scarf can be the style safety blanket they makes us feel cosy and interesting and you can have them in almost all of the hottest shades!

Build a classic casual wardrobe so you can easily mix and match styles, think colours that work well together without looking fussy. Comfort is key at the weekend so opt for light easy fabrics that you can breath in, eco-jersey is fantastic and looks good both night or day and remember that cotton will help you stay fresh all day long. A-line styles are the ultimate in comfortable chic as you do not have to worry about them riding up or having to yank down, which means you can run round, hop from bus to train without worry. Avoid casual car crash clothes like baggy sweaters and leggings, this is not flattering and velour tracksuits say 80s in a bad way!!
