The very essence of the weekend is summed up by two polar opposite, but equally coveted conditions: one of super charged energy, and the other of absolute laziness. And, where an ambitious weekend night may be the perfect way to show off your not-so-safe-for-work wardrobe, the following afternoon is the best excuse for stewing in your PJs all day. There is, however, a little-known state in between—one that feels as comfortable as it appears put-together. For a look that retains style without requiring much effort, try mixing one of your favorites—a T-shirt, pair of sweatpants, or sweatshirt—with something a bit more dressy. Take a pair of James Perse sweats, for example, pair them with a striped knit from Marc Jacobs, a Carven leather jacket, and Veja sneakers. Hey, maybe just by looking together, you’ll keep it together. —Sasha Levine
