An extra day or two away from real life school, internships, summer jobs allows just enough time to catch up with friends. Heading out for dinner with the girls? Try a striped boat-neck tee with lace-embellished boyfriend jeans and quirky shades. Essentials only! Pack lightly in a miniature cross-body bag and go for flats to be prepared for any spontaneous post-meal plans. Did someone say mini-golf?

Sometimes the best R&R can be found right in the comforts of home, but staying local doesn’t have to mean low-key. Liven up your weekend look with shredded sequin denim paired with a graphic tee and colorful clutch. A neutral jacket and slides allow you to walk the fine line of being on-trend without going over the top.

Games, Ferris wheels, funnel cakes, oh my! A beacon of summer, the local boardwalk is the perfect escape for seemingly infinite hours of fun. Dare to be bold and opt for a print-on-print look with fashionable yet practical chunky, sport-inspired sandals. A cap to shield you from those harmful UV rays and a bag big enough to tote your winnings, hand-free, are the best accessories.

With all your efforts most likely dedicated to cutting the crusts off finger sandwiches and prepping the perfect platter of crudité it’s 90 percent presentation, after all ease is the ideal factor in creating a picnic-friendly outfit. We suggest a staple T-shirt dress under an oversized denim jacket. Eye-catching shades, casual kicks, and a backpack to pack a blanket, of course, are essential for this look.

A long weekend is definitely one of our better excuses to get out of the city and head to the country. Notoriously an over-packer? Us too, but this time around we’re taking cues from Hannah and getting back down to earth in worn-in overalls and a lace blouse. A little bit country and a little bit rock ’n’ roll, layered necklaces and cutout booties are the finishing touch.
