What to wear, for anything.
Quick, practical guides for the moments that make you stare at your closet. Then let Clottr build the look from what you own.
What should I wear today?
Dress for today's forecast first, then for what's on your calendar, and pick only from what's clean and ready to wear. Those three inputs decide the outfit: the weather sets your layers and shoes, your plans set how dressed up you need to be, and your clean clothes set the options.
What business casual actually means
Business casual is office clothing that's dressier than everyday wear but stops short of a suit and tie: tailored pants, chinos or a skirt with a collared shirt, a blouse or a fine knit, plus polished shoes. A blazer is optional. Athletic wear and anything ripped are out, and so are jeans by the classic definition.
What to wear to a wedding as a guest
Start with the invitation: the dress code, the venue and the time of day decide most of the outfit. Then follow three rules that hold almost everywhere: don't wear white, don't outshine the wedding party, and dress for the ground and the weather as much as for the photos.
What to wear to a job interview
Dress one step above what people at the company wear on an ordinary day, in clothes that fit well and need no attention once you sit down. At a suit-and-tie firm that means a suit; at a business casual office, a blazer with tailored pants or a skirt; at a startup, clean chinos or dark jeans with a collared shirt or a fine knit.
What to wear on a first date
Dress for the plan, in clothes you've already worn and felt good in, one notch more considered than you'd wear there on an ordinary day. The best first-date outfit is one you stop thinking about once you sit down, so your attention stays on the person across the table.
What to wear on a blind date
Wear something neat and comfortable that you've already worn and felt good in, one notch smarter than the place needs, with one piece that makes you easy to spot. On a blind date your date has never met you, and may never have seen you, so the outfit has two jobs: look like you on a good day, and help them find you.
What to wear on a dinner date
For most dinner dates, wear smart casual: tailored trousers or dark jeans, a proper shirt, fine knit or blouse, and leather shoes or boots. A nicer restaurant adds a blazer, a dress or a long coat; a casual spot lets you keep the sneakers.
What to wear on a casual date
For a casual date (coffee, a walk, a market, a gallery, an activity), wear clean, well-fitting everyday clothes with one sharper piece, and shoes you can walk in for an hour. Dark jeans or chinos, a good T-shirt, knit or overshirt, and clean sneakers or flat boots cover most of them.
