Fashion Forecast: Saturday, May 31st

by Tyler Atwood

It's finally the weekend, and though this four-day week may have felt like a month thanks to the the aftermath of Memorial Day celebrations, it's time to relax and regroup. Much of the country will enjoy good weather this weekend, with a few scattered storms through Texas and Florida. Whether you're in the mood for taking a stroll outside, catching some rays or grabbing brunch with friends, try one of these ensembles for a perfectly relaxed off-duty look. And with June almost upon us, now is the ideal time to invest in some warm weather staples. Sweaters to protect you from the slight evening chill, summer weight slip dresses and the perfect jean jacket are essentials for keeping your weather seasonally appropriate, with luxe extras such as a great scarf and oversized shades.

For 70 degrees and up, a flirty skirt or a feminine floral dress accented with a pair of sandals is your best bet to beat the heat. If rainy weather has you fearing for the safety of your ensemble, add a stylish anorak and some waterproof shoes to protect you from the downpour. And an umbrella with an eye-catching print will make your day infinitely sunnier even when the weather is overcast. Read on for your Saturday Fashion Forecast.
