If you're like us, the weekend means lazy mornings, late brunch dates, outdoor activities (weather permitting), and cocktail-infused evenings.

Take cues from these street-style pros, who've mixed chic basics (blazers, slick skinny jeans, and loose-fitted t-shirts) with funkier complements (Isabel Marant pumped-up sneakers, classic leather loafers, and old-school Chucks) to create the perfect weekend-warrior ensemble. We've got 15 shots to be exact - so, grab your flats and your favorite pair of worn-in jeans, and get to it.

Missoni Debuts Its Fifth Collection With Converse - We Want One in Every Zigzag Color

Marisa Tom — Thu, 12 Apr 2012 11:18:57 PDT

For the girl who can't live without her Chucks, Missoni's fifth - and latest - collaboration with the iconic shoe brand is basically the best thing since sliced bread. Translation: we're obsessed. Available in stores and on converse.com beginning Saturday, April 14, the limited First String lineup will offer two women's-only silhouettes and one unisex style boasting Missoni's famous multistitch fabric. While it's nearly impossible for us to pick our favorite (we're equal opportunists here!), we love that the Spring collaboration shows off a couple of new color palettes - one in shades of pastel green and metallic detailing and the other in soft neutrals accented with peach and metallics. The result? One seriously cool patterned high-top. Priced at $200, we think this may be one of our seasonal sneaker splurges, but with two classic brands at the helm, how can we resist?
