Weekend wear

Less structured and warmer than a blazer, the biker jacket can toughen up a pretty dress when worn with tights and flat boots - perfect for a night at the pub. Team the jacket with plimsolls and a rock t-shirt for effortless shopping chic.

Young mums take note; choose a classic tote or shopper and step out in style, safe in the knowledge that you have everything you need right at your fingertips. You don't have to stay with block colour, carry this season's big prints in style with flowers or animal prints from Accessorize.

After a busy week in the office you want to get as far away from structured work wear as possible on the weekend. Choose comfortable fabrics like jersey and cashmere and make the most of this season's penchant for layering and draping. The weekend's a great excuse for getting out of your work day heels so opt for some classic pumps, Modain have a great range.

Regardless of your age, you'll look elegant for Sunday lunch in a classic twin-set; for an autumnal walk in the park, opt for layered jersey vests with a big knit cardigan and jeans. Monsoon are doing some fab eyecatching knitwear to make you stand out from the crowd.

If you're coming to the end of your plan and want to spend the weekend spoiling yourself in the shops, remember to keep it simple. If you're trying on lots of clothes you want to be able to get changed quickly and without fuss - otherwise you'll end up hot, tired and frustrated. For easy shopping glamour, team a trench coat with a simple white shirt, jeans and pumps.

If you're in your twenties the jumpsuit is a stylish alternative to a dress on a night out. Mix it up with a fabulous belt and platform sandals, then hit the dance floor.
