Your Weekend Style Woes Solved by Tina Ong and Rhian Ramos

It’s just Monday but the weekend is already calling our names yet again. They may be days dedicated to R&R but that doesn’t mean a woman should slack OFF and be caught lurking around in her comfy sweatpants. Whether your end-of-the-week itinerary includes sleep-all-day-party-all-night, mundane errands, craft classes, or getting extra sleep, you merit weekend ensembles that are easy to assemble and supremely chic. For weekend outfits worthy of praises, turn into our constant sources of inspiration, our #TeamPreenGirls, for guidance.

“Clothes have to be simple and comfortable.” Thanks to sartorial maven, Victoria Beckham, who recently announced that she would be (happily) ditching her sky-high heels for sneakers (which used to be the reason why she avoids the gym), at least during work days, we have another reason to love our trainers. On those late mornings, we know that the first thing you would want to do is to head out for your beloved brunch. For the lazy gals, simply pull out your tennis shoes and striped midi—items that should be present in every woman’s arsenal as they can be mixed and matched with a million pieces. For a cohesive effect, choose a 70s knit midi dress from Topshop (P1,789) that hugs your body in all the right places.

Want to step up your weekend game in the style department? Easy! Stick to A-line dresses like this Zara striped number (P2,595) that make running errands effortless. Known for her simple and understated aesthetic, Tina Ong keeps her look clean by finding accessories—her footwear, case in point—that are strikingly beautiful yet subtle enough to wear every single day. Get her look by wearing these flat leather shoes from Zara (P2,995).

A weekend romp around the city is best done in your most comfortable outfit, which usually factors in your trusty denim shorts and your favorite sweater. Just ask Kiana if you don’t believe us. A cute upgrade to this look would be something like this sweatshirt with lettering from Promod (P1,797), and with its light color and design, it will be easy to pair it up with other items you have in your closet.

We ladies can all relate: Sometimes, the mere thought of putting an outfit is enough to make you want to stay at home and be an ultimate couch potato for the rest of the afternoon. That’s why you should always keep a maxi dress on hand and have no excuses for spending some with your closest friends. Try to slip in this patterned maxi dress from H&M (P1,190) and be out the door in less than 30 minutes. Also, to keep your dress from skimming the grimy grounds, wedge-heel platforms are the way to go!

H&M. Available at SM Makati, SM Megamall, SM Fairview and Robinson’s Place-Manila. For more information, visit their website.

Do relaxed dressing at its best when you wear your crisp white shirtdress, which is a godsend for weekend dressing. What’s not to love? It is forgiving of last night’s binge, and it’s feminine and carefree. If you don’t have a shirtdress, use this moment to check out this white flared one from Zara (P2,295) and wear it on a midday excursion. And if you want to level up, layer a turtleneck under to give the whole look a level of cool crispiness, as suggested by Vogue. Finish the look with some muted lipstick, tousled bed-head, and a pair of suede ankle booties (or loafers, if you want to look minimalist).
