Each week, I eagerly anticipate the weekend—when I can slip into a chic outfit for brunch and shopping with friends. Like clockwork, I often find myself staring into my closet, grappling with the challenge of curating a look that balances casual flair with effortless elegance. As of yesterday, however, that struggle has ebbed away thanks to the insights of my favorite fashion influencer, Sylvie Mus, who recently shared her take on the perfect weekend uniform on Instagram.
Her suggested outfit features a polished wool coat gracefully layered over a luxurious V-neck sweater, straight-leg jeans, sheer tights, and slingback shoes. This combination thrives on the artful juxtaposition of casual and formal elements. The sophisticated wool coat and luxurious leather slingbacks beautifully counterbalance the relaxed nature of the jeans and sweater. Plus, the sheer tights beneath the jeans capture the easy It-girl styling technique that everyone should know about.
Although Mus lives in Paris, this outfit formula is adaptable to any stylish city. You can wear it in New York City when shopping with friends, in Copenhagen when exploring new museums, or in London while eating your way through Borough Market.
If you're feeling inspired and want to make getting dressed easy on the weekend, keep scrolling to shop the essential pieces that will help you achieve this effortlessly chic look.
