The Bargain Hunter's Guide to Fall Fashion

Weekend Warrior

Saturday and Sunday aren't code for schlumpadinka. Here are five ways to stay comfy without sacrificing shine.

1. A varsity sweater has the polish of a blazer, but it's far more relaxed.
2. Upgrade your tee to a chambray shirt.
3. Saddlebags outclass messenger bags but still leave your hands free.
4. A skinny riding pant offers more structure than leggings.
5. A compromise between stilettos and flip-flops: the stacked-heel boot.
