I admit that I like to “slob” around a bit at the week-end and wear really comfy clothes. Provided I don’t have any important social occasions to attend I like to go for long walks or curl up on the sofa and read the Sunday papers. I was therefore pleased to learn that “casual sportswear” looks are back in fashion. Sweatshirts and sneakers to the ready.
They are even being worn with loose-fitting wider trousers. Now I know that this look may not be for everybody so if you prefer a slimmer look on the legs you can team your “sweats” with your skinny or straight jeans.
Here I thought I would try the full look.
I have put together the above outfits from my existing wardrobe. Below are some similar looks.

So cute in your weekend hat! I want to find a hat like this!!
Casual chic at its best! You're making me think I really need to look for a fedora. :-) Thanks so much for the mention.
Just found your blog and love it. I must get a new fedora, mine is battered beyond redemption but will wait to see if we get a proper summer here in the North of England. Just being nosey but is your hair cut in a sort of layered bob as I'm looking for inspiration for my fine, straight hair.
Hi Marilyn and welcome to my blog. Yes my hair is cut in a layered bob. The fringe is a bit long at the moment I am due for a trim.
I love these casual weekend looks, I like to be comfortable indoors at weekends now, I never get up and put jeans on any more. When packing I pretty much always use a carry on and I put heavy stuff on top as it keeps everything in place x
Being 50+, I like to combine practicality and comfort (with a touch of style) when I an taking long walks, gardening or relaxing around the house. Your sportswear collections would certainly "fit the bill". Warm regards.
Hi Josephine - I looked at your blog after reading about it in Woman and Home. I think it's great as it's the sort of snippets to do with clothes, fashion and travel that I love reading and having all the photos is great - I'm going to be a regular now!

Thank you so much for sharing your lovely chapeau with Hat Attack. The perfect way to top off casual chic. Along with your smile, of course!
I LOVE that hat. I have been looking for a fedora, but have such an impossibly large head that it makes the search difficult. Maybe in the mens department....anyway, the grey sweatshirt/hat combo is inspired...
The trousers are lovely but at inside leg 28 3/4" very short!
