Dressing for the Venue

Match the activity, not just the address. A cocktail bar, a hiking trail, and a gallery opening each ask for a different version of you. The fastest way to feel out of place is to ignore what you will actually be doing.

When in doubt, smart-casual is the safest register. Think dark jeans or tailored trousers, a quality top, clean shoes, and one thoughtful accessory. It lands as put-together without trying too hard.
