We’ve spent all summer jetting here and road-tripping there. But sometimes, the best weekends are the ones with a wide-open calendar. Yes? So call up your #squad and invite them over for a mini staycation filled with absolutely nothing – a.k.a. popcorn, vino, and your fair share of rom-coms. This is what you’ll need.

1. Leggings
We don’t care what anyone says – when you’re spending a lazy weekend in with your bests, leggings most definitely can (and should) function as pants.
2. Lightweight Sweater
Holing up in an apartment for the weekend means blasting the A/C. So a comfy knit is a must for when that air is a little too cool – or that horror flick gives you the chills.
3. Bralette
The second-best thing to no bra at all? A lacy, wire-free bralette. It’s pretty, it’s comfy, and it won’t make you feel the slightest bit restricted. ‘Nuff said.
4. Fuity vs. Chocolatey Candy
The best part about actually going to the movies is the array of snacks at your disposal. Bring the deluxe-sized versions home, and you’ll get the whole theatre vibe (from your couch).
5. Slippers
Socks are okay. But if we had the option to choose thin and unsupportive or plush and cloud-like when overzealous A/Cs are involved, we know which ones we’d pick.
6. Rosé
This is one amenity your typical theatre doesn’t stock – but it’s oh-so-necessary. Keep a few bottles of summer’s favorite vino on hand, and suddenly that cheesy movie will seem so much better.
7. A Netflix Lineup
You definitely can’t rely on cable to get you through a whole weekend without a couple duds. Go old-school and queue up a stack of new films and classic favorites that everyone will love.
8. Popcorn
Dear movie popcorn, we love you – but we love free refills more. Put out a few herb salts (spicy garlic, anyone?) so every guest can customize their own bowl. Best. Host. Ever.
