Ah, the quest for the perfect casual yet sophisticated weekend wardrobe! Here are some suggestions that should have you looking sharp without sacrificing comfort:

Sweaters: - Theory: They offer sleek designs that are perfect for a polished casual look. Their sweaters are often made with high-quality materials that are both comfortable and durable. - Quarter Zip Sweaters: A lightweight quarter zip sweater can be a versatile piece for layering. It's casual but can be dressed up with the right shirt underneath.

Shirts: - Charles Tyrwhitt: Known for their multi-buy deals, they offer a range of casual shirts that don't compromise on style. - Proper Cloth: They provide a variety of options that can be customized to your fit and style preferences. - Indochino: While they are known for their suits, they also offer casual shirts that can be tailored to your measurements.

Jackets: - Patagonia: While known for their outdoor gear, they have some great casual jackets that can add a sophisticated touch to your weekend attire. - Sport Coats: Pairing a nice sport coat with a casual shirt can elevate your entire look. It's a great way to stay casual but look put together.

Remember, the key to a sophisticated look is in the fit and the quality of the fabric. Make sure whatever you choose fits well and is made of good materials. And don't forget, confidence is the best thing you can wear, so pick pieces that make you feel great!

Check out Bonobos - they have some good stuff and four different fits (tailored, slim, standard, athletic) so anyone should be able to find something that works for them. I would recommend the Riviera Short Sleeve shirt in white and navy and some chinos to start. Their model is interesting in that you cannot buy any merchandise in the stores. The purpose of the stores is to get you to try on their clothing and then they ship it to you after the fact once you have been properly sized. I recommend doing that first before buying anything offline. MIzzen and Main is another brand that I really enjoy - very breathable dress shirts that are great for the summertime. 

 

Mizzen great but make sure buy slim fit. Also they run a bit long imo (polos).

Peter Millar polos are better but usually more expensive. I like their trim fit for polos

Mizzen and Main - haven’t found a better shirt material than this that doesn’t look odd. Breathes like hell, no dry clean. Only long sleev shirts I wear to the office. All of the M&M pants, quarter zips, and pants have a tailored fit and shirts have multiple fit options. They also have flannel options. LuluLemon- not even god could convince me there is a better pant out there than their ABC pants. Great fit, durable, versatile, and lulu will hem pants for free. Utility, comfort, and style of these pants is unmatched, fight me. Bonobos - very versatile in pant sizing. Good for trendy jackets. J Crew - strong in the seater and jacket department. Peter Millar - be sure you aren’t buying the FatBoy (classic) fit but imo not worth the prices these days. I know we are talking winter here but summer comfort polos can’t be beat.
