Read on to discover our edit of Labor Day weekend outfits, carefully curated to suit wherever you find yourself celebrating the long weekend that also shore up your collection of trans-seasonal staples.
One of our more casual Labor Day outfits yet the most patriotic, this ensemble sees our Bouclé Crop Jacket in a fiery hue meet a classic cami styled under our Longline Autumn Stripe Shirt and Authentic Slim Crop Jean in a light, faded-blue wash achieved through a sustainable water-free laser treatment. The latter is designed to fall to the perfect length to complement ankle boots such as our 60s Leather High Ankle Boot in off white. In short, this look is a subtle nod to that Star Spangled Banner by combining polished tailoring with casual staples to perfect a Labor Day weekend outfit suited to all settings.
Your one-step solution to perfecting a Labor Day weekend look with minimal effort on your part. The statement print and adjustable design defining our Intricate Floral Print Maxi Dress allow you to switch up your look to reflect your setting - from family lunches and cookouts with friends to catching your local parade. Complementing flats and heels, the dipped hem creates a leg-lengthening effect, whether you’re pairing it with sneakers for a day on your feet or heels.
When a day starts with a latte in your neighborhood coffee joint with a friend and ends with dinner at your favorite restaurant with family, you need an outfit that can keep pace. The answer to a packed Labor Day weekend: our Monochrome Tweed Knit Jacket. It instantly makes your final look appear perfectly pieced together, tying together casual pairings while granting them a considered air. All you have to do as your day starts to set and dusk approaches is to slip it on over a long-sleeved top tucked into our Ultimate Wide-Leg Jean that falls straight from hip to hem, creating the illusion of a longer leg.
Equally suited to a day spent crossed-legged at a picnic as it is finding a spot in the stands of a baseball game or even taking part in a friendly match in your own backyard, our Ponte Bias Panel Midi Dress combines a bold color with ponte tailoring and a fit-and-flare silhouette. With an adjustable neckline featuring a hook-and-eye closure, it lets you choose between a round and V-neck silhouette while also providing the option of a keyhole detail. Complete your elevated athleisure look with low-top sneakers and a baseball cap.
A subtle nod to two classic Labor Day colors; this look turns to dark-wash denim as the base for a blue-and-red look brightened by our Smock Detail Swing Blouse in the statement hue. The jeans can always be swapped for a pair of lightweight pants or tailored shorts should temperatures reach the 90s and gives you the perfect excuse to get more wear out of your favorite warm-weather staples before they’re stashed away in the back of your closet.
Introduce the third color synonymous with Labor Day by donning this pairing with a white jacket or tailored blazer and our Leather Penny Loafer in cream for a polished-yet-patriotic look.
An homage to the shades your closet's palette will be filled with come fall but with a playful print. Our Silk Polka Dot Maxi Dress celebrates a bold polka dot pattern that contrasts against the black background and is accompanied by an optional tie that can be styled as either a belt or necktie. Crafted from pure silk that falls to a leg-lengthening dipped hem below your knees, it’s an elevated option for formal settings and can be adapted for more laid-back ones with the addition of a leather jacket and ankle boots.
Maybe you’ve been invited by a friend to a restaurant you haven’t visited before or you’re not sure what the Labor Day dress code is at your host’s home, whatever might be causing your outfitting quandary, we have the solution. The beauty of this look is that it effortlessly elevates a casual staple shaped to a flattering flare-leg silhouette crafted from denim that borrows cues from smart tailoring by combining our Crease-Front Flare Jean available in two lengths with a tailored blazer and lustrous blouse. Better yet, the blazer can always be robe-shouldered for a more casual, just-shrugged-on effect or left to hang on the back of your chair if you find your dining partners have chosen a dress code that errs on the side of casual.
