Whatever your activity, a blue dial Piaget Polo S lends some sophistication to your look.

Art gallery? Brunch? Tea with the in-laws? Cinema? It’s tricky to know where to pitch a weekend look when you’re trying to cram a million different plans into 48 hours. Trying to look on-trend, intellectual and in-law appropriate all at the same time is a tall order, particularly when all you really want to do is throw on a hoodie and a baseball cap.

As versatile as they come, this Saint Laurent varsity jacket, above, does the trick. It can be worn over anything (in this case a Velva Sheen tee and Dries Van Noten jeans and Converse Chuck Taylors). It is also soft and roomy and keeps its shape via an elasticated waist.

But what instantly upgrades this look from walk in the park to cock of the walk, though, is the Piaget Polo S watch, with its blue dial matching the jacket. This deep tone lends a sporty edge to a watch that, in its original incarnation, was designed for the polo players of the 1970s, to be worn on, and off the field.

The restrained design means details are few – a date at six o’clock, a satin-brushed steel bezel, a dual finish steel bracelet – but overall, the statement is big. Particularly when you colour coordinate. In this second look, the cobalt blue of the Maison Margiela zip-up jacket, above, brings out the blue of the watch dial. Teamed with the Possession white gold cuff, also by Paget, it upgrades a casual ensemble from a walk in the park to a walk around a smart art gallery.
