Have you been invited to the Kentucky Derby, or a viewing party for it, and you have no idea what to wear? Are you old hat at derbies, but you’re looking to refresh your derby wardrobe? Regardless, we have you covered. Derby attire may seem like an intimidating dress code or party theme, but luckily, there’s lots of room for fun. One of the hallmarks of derby fashion is that it matches timelessness with a modern twist and makes lots of room for whimsy, from the typical color schemes to the glamorous hats.  In our style guide, we break down the ins and outs of derby attire and give you a few outfit ideas to help you get started on your research. Let’s dive in!  Where Did Derby Attire Come From? Generally, when the phrase “derby attire” comes up, it’s in reference to the Kentucky Derby. The Kentucky Derby has had a specific aesthetic since its inception in the 1870s. Taking place in Louisville (Kentucky, obviously) in the spring, derby fashion is influenced heavily by timeless Southern styles and the season; think seersucker, pastels, and linen.  Derby attire can incorporate current trends with these influences, and attendees are encouraged to play with silhouettes for a whimsical vibe. As for a dress code, the Kentucky Derby doesn’t have one, but the general expectation is to dress to impress.  Other derbies may have different expectations for derby attire, ranging from a casual vibe to something closer to a cocktail dress code. Before attending your derby, you’ll want to consult the website to ensure you choose something appropriate.  Derby Attire Outfit Ideas  Looking for some inspiration for your derby attire outfit? Whether you’ve got a ticket to the Kentucky Derby or you’re headed to a derby-themed party, here are our top derby attire outfit ideas Short Solid-Color Dresses as Derby Attire A shorter cocktail-style dress can be perfect for the warm afternoon of the derby. If you’re planning on attending the Kentucky Derby, you may want to go for a dress that hits at least the knee for comfort. If you’re attending a viewing party, a shorter dress can definitely work.  Short Printed Dresses as Derby Attire When you’re going with a short printed dress as derby attire, you may want to consider sticking with the pastel color scheme. If you’re looking to stand out from the crowd, incorporate a jewel tone or a darker color in your print.  Midi Dresses as Derby Attire The midi sheath dress is a classic choice for the Kentucky Derby, since the hemline offers springtime sophistication. Pastels balance the structured elegance of the sheath look, and a matching big hat adds a touch of whimsy. If you tend to get chilly, pair this look with a cardigan or cape.  Maxi Dresses as Derby Attire Longer dresses aren’t as common at the Kentucky Derby, but they can still fit right in, especially in a printed pastel. Be sure that your dress is the correct length with the shoes you plan on wearing so you avoid tripping over your gown.  Rompers as Derby Attire Rompers can be a great choice for any springtime or summertime derby. For a Kentucky Derby vibe, go with pastels; for a lower-key derby experience choose a neutral for easier accessorizing or a bold color to stand out.  Two Piece Sets as Derby Attire A two piece set with a cropped top may turn some heads at a Kentucky Derby party. This look can also be perfect for derbies with a less-elevated dress code, especially in the warmer-weather months. Suits as Derby Attire Pastel suits are a classic Kentucky Derby choice, especially in sky blue. Linen is a great choice for these suits (as long as you don’t mind the wrinkles you’ll get from sitting) since it’s light and breathable for the spring weather.  Accessorizing Your Derby Attire One of the cornerstones of Kentucky Derby attire is a big hat that goes with the rest of your outfit. This is in part to help attendees with the sun during the afternoon, but they’ve also become really iconic for their aesthetic alone. For an outfit that truly screams Kentucky Derby, definitely keep your headwear in mind.  Since derbies take place during the afternoon, even if you’re not attending the Kentucky Derby, consider a hat or another form of sun protection to keep yourself comfortable. Sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses can make or break your viewing experience.  You’ll also want to be careful about your shoe choice, since the event takes place outside and you may be sitting in bleachers. Cute flats that complement your look will be the most comfortable choice, but if you’d rather wear heels, you may want to choose wedges or a thick block heel to avoid any missteps.  What to Avoid Wearing to a Derby  When it comes to what to avoid wearing to a derby or derby party, you’ll generally want to avoid going way too formal or way too casual. For the Kentucky Derby (or a Kentucky Derby-influenced party), dressing whimsically but to impress is the name of the game.  Avoid any clothes that are stained, torn, or overly casual, like jeans. You’ll also want to keep the ball gown and tuxedo at home, unless you’re really looking to turn heads.  When choosing your derby (or derby party) outfit, you’ll also want to consider how comfortable it is to sit in for a long period of time. Along with this, select shoes you feel comfortable moving in at the venue where your derby takes place, and avoid shoes that make you feel wobbly.  Is There a Difference Between Derby Attire for Kentucky Derby and Derby Attire for a Party?  In short, not really. Generally, derby-themed parties reference the quirky dress code that the Kentucky Derby offers, so anything that you would wear to the Kentucky Derby, you can wear to a derby-themed party.  Going to an indoor viewing party does have the added bonus of attendees not having to worry as much about practical accessories like sun protection. However, a big, glamorous hat can be fun and pull together your outfit.  If your viewing party is for a different derby, you’ll want to look at the dress code provided or talk to the organizers about specifics.  Dressing for Your Derby Dreams A dress code like derby attire can be a bit stressful to navigate, especially if it’s not something you’re used to dressing for. However, an offbeat dress code can also offer an opportunity for fun experimentation and personal style development! When in doubt, take pointers from our guide, do a little derby fashion research, and create a moodboard so you can put together a look that reflects your personal style.   

It’s always nice to be invited to a party, but it always begs the question: what should I wear? If you’ve been invited to a party and you’re not sure what to wear to it, we’re here to help.  Below, we break down party attire ideas by dress code, theme, and occasion so you can always look your best.  What Is Considered Party Attire?  Party attire can mean a lot of different things, though what should guide you the most is the dress code or theme, if there is one. If the invitation doesn’t list either, take a look at the venue and the time of the event to get a hint on what to wear.  As for what to avoid wearing, you’ll want to keep it classy, even if the dress code is more casual. Don’t wear anything you wouldn’t wear anywhere else in public (a stained shirt, for instance), and remember to choose an outfit that makes you feel comfortable and confident for socializing. You may also want to avoid overly-formal attire for a casual party, unless you’re looking to make an entrance. Party Attire Ideas Based on Dress Code  Below, we dive into outfit ideas for some of the most popular party dress codes.  Formal Party Attire When you get invited to a formal party, it’s the perfect chance to break out a full-length gown (or even a ball gown, if it’s a white tie event).  When you’re choosing a gown, remember that the darker the color, the more formal it is, so for an ultra-formal event, go with black or a very deep color and avoid prints. For formal events that aren’t quite so serious, you can go with a jewel tone.  Semi Formal Party Attire The semi formal dress code is a step down from a formal dress code. These parties allow for a printed dress, a shorter hemline, or a pastel color scheme (though depending on the event, you may want to avoid doing more than one of these at once).  A semi formal party can also be a great place for a jumpsuit or a two-piece set, since there’s a little more room in this dress code for experimentation.  Casual Party Attire Even though casual party attire is the most laid-back dress code, it can be one of the more difficult ones to discern. For a casual party, you’ll want to keep the venue in mind; is this a graduation barbecue at a friend’s house, or is this taking place at a country club?  If the party calls for casual attire but you’re celebrating a milestone or you’re at a more elevated venue, it’s smart to stick with a business casual look so you don’t appear underdressed. If the party is a very casual gathering of friends or family during the summer, you can get away with everyday clothing items like jeans.  Party Attire Ideas Based on Theme Theme parties remain popular, and with the rise of virtual mood boards, themes are getting more specific than ever. Here are some of the most popular party themes and outfit ideas to wear to them.  Color-Related Theme  For a party centered around a specific color, you’ll want to wear a monochrome outfit of that color. Popular choices include all-white parties and baby showers in pink or blue, but there is a ton of inspiration out there for party themes that include neons, jewel tones, and even metallics.  You can’t go wrong with a basic cocktail dress for a party like this, but you’ll want to check for any other dress code hints on the invitation; phrases like “masquerade ball” may indicate that it’s more formal.  Under the Sea Theme Under the Sea themed parties are pretty straightforward; you’ll want to take inspiration from the ocean, though that doesn’t mean you have to dress like a mermaid. Think flowing fabrics in blues, greens, and even a dash of purple, complete with a bit of shimmer. Accessorize your look with jewelry featuring shells or other sea creatures to really lean into the theme!  Backyard Cookout A backyard cookout is on the more casual side of things. Since these usually take place during the summer, a sundress or romper can be a really effortless way of looking put together while still being comfortable.  For an extra dose of glamour, try a big sun hat; this has the added bonus of more sun protection during the afternoon hours.  Awards Season Party Many people host viewing parties for events like the Oscars. These parties can be a bit on the formal side if the invitation’s dress code calls for it, so feel free to go all out if that’s the case. For a more toned-down gathering, a cocktail dress featuring lots of sparkles or an interesting neckline like a one shoulder dress can be red-carpet worthy.  When choosing any outfit for this type of party, remember that you’ll likely be sitting for a bit of it, so keep comfort in mind.  Flapper/Gatsby Themes These themes both call back to the Roaring ‘20s. For a flapper look, you’ll want to go with something that has fringe. Dresses were the most common for flappers, but you don’t have to stick with that to still be on theme. Fringed co-ords or rompers can still be flapper fabulous.  As for Gatsby parties, these take the same influences from ‘20s fashion, but you can really lean into the opulence and sparkles and fit right in.  Throwback Night The style of outfit that you choose for throwback night will depend on the era listed on the invitation. For 80s-inspired attire, think full skirts and bright neons. For a 90s vibe, you’ll want to zero in on moodier looks.  Don’t be afraid to do some research beforehand and put together a moodboard of your findings so you can choose a look while still staying true to your personal style.  Western Theme  Finally, country music is having a moment right now, and with that comes the popularity of Western parties. You’ll want to think chaps, fringe, vests, flannel, and of course, cowboy boots.  If your party is a more glamorous take on the Western theme (“Denim and Diamonds” is another popular choice), choose bejeweled or sequined Western pieces. You also can’t go wrong with going against the traditional Western color palette and stunning in a pink cowboy hat!  Party Attire Ideas Based on Occasion Some of the most common parties that we get invites to center on a specific occasion on the calendar. For party attire inspiration based on the occasion, check out our list below:  Halloween Party Attire Halloween party attire will generally be a Halloween costume. You can either wear the costume you plan on wearing on Halloween itself, an older costume, or put together something new for the party. Don’t be afraid to DIY; some of the most creative costumes can come from your closet!  If you’re not into Halloween costumes, you can go with a Halloween-inspired look in orange, purple, black, or some combination of those colors.  Holiday Party Attire Red, green, or metallics tend to be the most popular color choices for festive holiday parties, and it’s a great excuse to add on the sparkles.  Unless it’s a formal event, you can’t go wrong with a cocktail dress for most holiday parties. If the shortened hemline makes you nervous for a professional event, a suit in a festive color with a standout blouse can be a great choice. Add some sparkling jewelry, a brooch, or a dazzling pair of shoes to boost the festive vibe.  New Year's Eve Party Metallics and black are usually the top color scheme for New Year's Eve parties. You can either choose a metallic that you love, slay in a black dress paired with some gorgeous jewelry, or go with a look that incorporates everything. New Year's Eve is all about decadence, so don’t worry too much about being extra!  If you don’t vibe with metallics or black and prefer to ring in the new year with an outfit in your favorite color, go for it!  A Great Outfit Is the First Step to a Great Party Now that you have an idea for what to wear to your next party, it’s time to start researching! Don’t be afraid to consult your loved ones and do some experimenting; you might end up finding your next favorite piece!  

Embracing an aesthetic is a great way to display your personality with your look and also attract like-minded people to your circle, whether that’s new friends or a new crush. There are so many different aesthetics out there that there’s sure to be one that fits your unique personality and interests. In our guide, we go over some of the most popular aesthetics as well as offer outfit ideas for each. Whether you’re hoping to try something new or you’re looking for inspiration to add to your aesthetic collection, we’ve got you covered!  Our Top 9 Aesthetic Outfit Ideas  From moody goth vibes to hot pink Barbiecore, we have a wide range of aesthetics to suit any personality! For a unique twist, try mixing and matching your favorites!  00s Aesthetic Outfit Ideas  We had to start with a classic! If you’re heading to a Y2K throwback party or you’re just hoping to embody some retro vibes, you’ll want to opt for pieces with lots of bling, low-rise jeans, and don’t forget the super sparkly makeup. Tops with butterflies on them were also popular then.  Color-wise, you’ll want to go with bold, saturated hues, and keep an eye out for pieces in animal print. For inspiration, check out girl bands from the 00s, along with movies from the time, like Josie and the Pussycats.  Vintage Outfit Ideas  Vintage is kind of a catch-all aesthetic, but the great thing about that is you can really make it your own. Go with an A-line dress that has a Bardot neckline to embody old Hollywood glamour, or stick with a silky sheath dress for something a little more 90s.  The exact color palettes and silhouettes to look for will depend on the era you’re trying to embody; for inspiration, check out era-relevant movies.  Goth Outfit Ideas  The goth aesthetic is a very straightforward one; you’ll want to go with all-black everything. Within the goth aesthetic, there are tons of sub-aesthetics, ranging from the layered Victorian-inspired looks to futuristic cybergoth, which typically incorporates pops of neon colors.  Just because it’s monochrome doesn’t mean it’s simple; this is one aesthetic that’s all about the drama and layers. As a bonus, you can make a real statement at prom in a dramatic black dress!  Dark Academia Outfit Ideas Dark academia is perfect for exuding autumn vibes without going too extreme in color if that’s not your thing. Think neutrals: brown, navy, cream, and olive green are popular choices for this aesthetic.  Pleated skirts or checkered slacks topped with a sweater is a classic dark academia vibe. You can also pair a crisp button-down shirt with a sweater vest or waistcoat.  Barbie Aesthetic Outfit Ideas The Barbie aesthetic invites you to let yourself get inspired by all things pink and adorable. You can’t go wrong with a sparkling pink cocktail dress for an event or an occasion, but Barbie can embody so many different things.  You can take inspiration from Greta Gerwig’s Barbie movie, or you can look to the dolls for outfit ideas. Vintage Barbies can still have timeless looks, from elegant special occasion gowns to colorful sundresses perfect for all your summer adventures!  Western Outfit Ideas Western-themed parties are super popular thanks to Chapell Roan and Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter. For a full-on Western ensemble, look at dresses or vests and chaps that are heavy on the fringe. If you’re hoping for a more subtle Western vibe, start with a decorative bolo tie and some cowboy boots.  The Western color palette can be pretty much anything you want, though the most common colors tend to be brown, blue, red, and rosy pink.  Cottagecore Outfit Ideas With cottagecore, you’ll want to think florals, long dresses, and generally lighter colors (like pastels). The most obvious cottagecore looks are going to be floral maxi dresses, typically with an A-line silhouette, but don’t be afraid to branch out.  Floral co-ords can just as easily give cottagecore vibes and can be more versatile pieces in your wardrobe – pair the skirt with a solid top and a jacket for cooler-weather months. Old Money Aesthetic Outfit Ideas As you’ve likely seen on Gossip Girl and Succession, the old money aesthetic tends to favor preppy styles in an elegant, subdued color palette. This is one aesthetic that can get a bit pricey, as the focus is on high-quality pieces. Luckily, one of the marks of the old money aesthetic is that you’re typically going for neutral basics, so you’ll still get mileage out of anything you pick out.  For a business chic look, try a suit in a solid color that’s either neutral or close to it (powder blue, for instance). For a going-out look, opt for a sleek black dress tailored to your frame, with neutral makeup and elegant jewelry.  Balletcore Outfit Ideas Balletcore is kind of like Barbiecore’s quieter cousin. You’ll want to look for flowy, dreamy skirts in soft pastels – bonus if you pair them with a matching shrug. Light, pastel pink is the number one color for this aesthetic, but you can find plenty of balletcore pieces in white, pastel blue, light yellow, and pastel green.  If you’re not really into skirts but still want to embody this aesthetic, loose shorts in a flowy fabric, paired with a bodysuit, and leg warmers can help you achieve this look. Of course, don’t forget the ballet flats!  How Do I Find My Perfect Aesthetic? When you’re thinking about your perfect aesthetic, think about the clothes you already have that make you feel confident. You can look at specific colors, silhouettes, outfit vibes, whatever you like! From there, you can either find aesthetics that align with what you like already.  If you’re looking for a totally fresh start or a wardrobe revamp that feels like you, think about styles you’re drawn to. Again, you’ll want to look at things like color palettes and silhouettes. You can also take stock of your favorite TV shows, movies, and music to get even more ideas. Moodboards can be a great way to put all your ideas together and find more inspiration!  When in doubt, start small. Incorporate some accessories or a few pieces into your usual outfit rotation; if that feels good, go with one or two full outfits. Give them each a few wears before committing to the aesthetic anymore, that way if it turns out not to be your thing, you haven’t broken the bank.  Can I Have More Than One Aesthetic?  Yes! For the most part, no one has just one aesthetic. We’re all influenced by the things that we love and the pieces that make us feel confident, so don’t be afraid to combine aesthetics as you like them. Combining aesthetics can give you a super unique, unforgettable look, which is perfect if you want to stand out.  Your aesthetic may also vary from day to day; you may be able to pull off full goth looks on the weekends, but may need to keep it closer to a dark academia vibe for work.  Embrace Your Next Aesthetic Changing up your aesthetic can be a little stressful, so remember to take it one step at a time. A moodboard to help you sort out your inspiration will go a long way in honing your personal style and any aesthetic you choose to incorporate into it. Above all, remember to have fun and always dress for yourself, not for anyone else! 

Finding your personal style can be daunting, especially paired with everything else that comes with being a teenager. If you’re not sure where to start, we’ve put together just the guide for you.  We dive into some of this season’s biggest trends that can suit a ton of different aesthetics and are tailored to your preferences! Plus, we get into some of the best places to find fashion inspiration to help you experiment with outfit ideas of your own.  Whether you’re looking for cute outfits for your day-to-day school rotation or pieces that can go with you from hangouts to special occasions, our guide has you covered.  Our Top 4 Outfit Ideas for Teens (That Work With Any Season!)  While trends can come and go, they can also serve as excellent inspiration. Below, we get into some of the most popular recent trends and how to make them your own.  Crop Top Co-Ords  While co-ords have been trending recently, this is a look that will always be in style. Cropped sets are perfect for the summer as they’ll keep you cool. They can also take you through parts of fall and the end of spring, especially paired with a matching sweater or jacket.  Solid-color matching sets can be worn together for a monochromatic look, or split to complement other pieces (which is what gives co-ords staying power in your wardrobe). Printed matching sets can range from a twist on office-chic in neutral plaid or houndstooth, or bold in jewel tones with more abstract prints.  More formal versions of this trend can be perfect for homecoming. Also, keep in mind that if you don’t want to do a crop top, you don’t have to; this trend can also feature a full-length shirt.  Baggy Jeans and a Tee This pairing is a classic for a reason. Jeans are great for just about any time of year, and depending on the jeans and tee you choose, they can be worn to a ton of different occasions.  Standard blue jeans or lighter washes are fantastic for casual events; go with a dark wash or jeans with some embellishment for an elevated daytime excursion, especially paired with heels. For an ultra-trendy take on the look, opt for low-rise jeans.  Your top can also range from a sleek tee with no graphic, or go with a dressier top for a slightly more elevated vibe.  Sleek Sheath Dresses Sheath dresses are a more formal look that can be dressed up or down endlessly; they’re really versatile pieces that can take you to a ton of different events. A neutral or more subdued color like soft pink is a great canvas for your favorite statement accessories, whereas a bolder color or print dress will be the star of the show.  Obviously, these dresses are tailor-made for those semi-formal to formal events – dances, fundraisers, all that stuff. However, they can also be dressed down for things like girls' night or lower-key dates.  Add a leather jacket as a dynamic contrast to the feminine silhouette; this can be particularly striking with a dress in a pastel color, a floral print, or in flowy fabric like chiffon. For cooler weather seasons, consider tights underneath; these can be statement pieces too, in a contrast color or a print.  Athleisure (With a Twist) Athleisure is one genre of clothing that never really goes out of style and works as the perfect answer to early, chilly mornings. While athleisure is best-known for its tighter cuts, wide-leg silhouettes are what’s trending right now – think closer to a tracksuit look than yoga pants or joggers.  Something great about this look is that you can find just about every color under the sun. Go with a bold color or a print to stand out and add a little flair to your dreary winter days. Neutrals or pastels, on the other hand, can be mixed and matched with other pieces in your wardrobe.  If you’re not sure about a totally wide leg, you can find toned-down versions of this trend, or go with a boot cut. Pair with chunky sneakers and keep accessories minimal for ultimate casual flair.  Even More Outfit Ideas for Teens: Where to Look for Outfit Idea Inspiration Still looking for outfit ideas? Here are some of the best places to look for inspiration, and consider making a moodboard of your favorite looks while you search. This way, you can also see any patterns that you can add to your personal style.  Look to the Stars  We don’t mean literally (though the night sky can be super inspiring). Think about celebrities or other figures whose personal style you admire and do some research. Awards shows looks can be great inspo for formal events like prom; interviews and other appearances can be great for day-to-day looks  Your Favorite Media Get inspired by looks from your favorite TV shows and movies. For instance, do you love shows about rich people getting into trouble? Take a look at their wardrobe choices and see if there’s anything you want to incorporate, from color pairings to accessories. You don’t have to go head-to-toe with their exact look; you can start with a few accessories and see what feels right.  Fashion Magazines and Blogs While a lot of these tend to be targeted toward adults, you can definitely get inspired by pieces and make them your own. Both fashion magazines and blogs can also be fantastic for helping you nail down what it is about certain trends or pieces that you like, so you can better search for more.  Influencers This is probably super obvious, but there are tons of fashion influencers on TikTok, X, and Pinterest that cater to a wide range of personal styles. Take a look at their posts for inspiration and consider making your own to document your fashion journey.  Your Friends Do you have that one friend who always looks put together no matter what? Consider asking them about their style and where they find inspiration for it; it may end up being the start of some really fun shopping trips. Just make sure you’re getting inspiration from other places too, so your wardrobe isn’t totally identical to your friend’s.  Your Style, Your Rules: Start Mixing and Matching There are tons of places to get outfit inspiration; this guide is just the beginning. If you’re thinking about how to establish your signature style, remember to try not to overdo it to keep yourself from getting overwhelmed. Most importantly, fashion should be fun and your clothes should make you feel confident, no matter the season or occasion! 

A cruise is the perfect blend of relaxation, adventure, and luxury, giving you an unparalleled vacation experience. There is always a variety of activities, from lounging by the pool and unwinding in premium spas to dining in the finest restaurants and exploring exotic locations. This busy schedule calls for careful planning on what to wear. This article will guide you on what to wear on a cruise so that you look stylish and feel comfortable throughout the day and night. We’ll also share some exclusive packing tips at the end that can make preparing for your next vacation easier.  What to Wear on a Cruise: Daytime Outfits Mornings and afternoons on a cruise are the perfect time for travelers to ease into an exciting day of various onboard activities. While there’s usually no strict dress code for these activities on most cruises, here is a breakdown of what you can wear if you’re in need of some inspiration: Lounging by the Pool Almost all ships offer spacious pool decks with loungers, hot tubs, and occasionally water slides and splash zones. If you’re starting your day off by soaking up the sun with a refreshing cocktail, you’d want to dress in lightweight, breathable swimwear. You can also wear a sarong wrap or kimono for a cover-up if you’re moving between the pool and the bar.  For men, we recommend opting for a pair of swim trunks and a casual tank top or short-sleeved button-up. You’ll also need a pair of slip-on sandals and flip-flops to make it easier to walk around the deck.  Onboard Entertainment Another common theme you’ll encounter on most luxury cruises is the range of entertainment available, such as fitness classes, sports tournaments, dance lessons, cooking demonstrations, trivia games, and more. This will require versatile and comfortable clothing like tank tops and breathable shirts with shorts or casual sundresses. Whether you're going on an adventure or enjoying relaxed activities, light sneakers or slip-on shoes will keep you comfortable and ready for anything. Shore Excursions If you’re heading offshore to hit the beach, explore any local destinations, or take a guided tour, you need to dress the part. Light tops like t-shirts and tank tops work well with breathable pants, capris, or even skirts. Activewear like moisture-wicking tops, board shorts, and athletic leggings work well if you’re heading off hiking or zip-lining. Remember to wear comfortable walking shoes or sturdy sandals, as you’ll be engaging in a lot of movement that can tire out your feet.  If you’re visiting places that have cultural or religious restrictions, make sure to pack modest attire. These typically include clothing that covers your shoulders and knees, such as maxi skirts, long-sleeved tops, and scarves.  Relaxation and Wellness Activities If your itinerary includes spa sessions, yoga classes, and wellness workshops, loose-fitting apparel is key. We’re talking yoga pants, breathable tank tops, comfortable shorts, and cozy loungewear. Most wellness centers provide robes and slippers, but it's always a good idea to bring your own outfit that you can easily slip into after a rejuvenating spa session.  Casual Daytime Dining  For those wanting to grab a bite or a drink without having to dress in formal attire, there are often several casual dining and lounging options. All you need to wear here is a simple sundress or a nice blouse or polo shirt with a pair of shorts for a meal like brunch. You might also need a light cardigan or shawl in case the air conditioning is too cool for your taste.  What to Wear on a Cruise in the Evening Cruise evenings change up the atmosphere a bit, shifting from the relaxed daytime vibe to a more sophisticated and lively scene. This is where you’ll want to embrace proper cruise etiquette by dressing up, showcasing your personal style, and enjoying a different side of the cruise experience.  Casual Nights Casual evenings and nights usually require a comfortable yet stylish outfit. Think jeans or chinos with a nice shirt or blouse for men and casual dresses or skirts paired with simple tops for women. You can choose between loafers, casual shoes, and flats to finish off the outfit. Smart Casual For a relaxed but more polished look, dressier pants and stylish skirts with a button-up shirt or chic blouse can do the trick. Men can wear a blazer over a dress shirt with trousers. If your overall outfit is still simple, you can dress it up with smart shoes like loafers, dressy flats, or ankle boots.  Formal Nights Formal nights are when you can go all out when dressing up. Some cruise lines have specific dress codes, but, generally, the guidelines are quite simple. Women can wear elegant cocktail dresses, gowns, or dressy separates. On the other hand, men should opt for a suit and tie or a tuxedo. Heels are typically encouraged for women, while men are expected to wear dress shoes. Special Cruise Events Cruises often feature exciting specialty events and themed nights to add a bit of spice to your voyage. These can include tropical luaus, masquerade balls, retro 80s parties, and neon nights. To avoid any last-minute stress of wondering what to wear, it’s a good idea to review your cruise itinerary well in advance so you know what you have to work with.  Plain white outfits can work perfectly for white parties, while tropical prints are ideal for a traditional “Caribbean night.” You can also rent costumes and thrift affordable themed accessories before your trip to transform your outfits with a few creative touches without breaking the bank.  Cold-Weather Cruises While most people enjoy going on cruises in the summertime, voyages to colder destinations like Alaska also have a strong fan following. These trips require a lot more preparation and have a greater focus on layering. This allows you to adjust to changing temperatures throughout the day. You can start off with thermal tops and bottoms as a base layer, add a fleece jacket or knit sweater for warmth, and finish off with a waterproof jacket to guard yourself against the wind and rain. Don’t forget your waterproof boots or shoes, especially if you’re planning to head out on excursions to glaciers, join nature hikes, or move about on rainy days. Essential Cruise Accessories In addition to all the outfits we’ve broken down above, here’s a list of essential cruise accessories you need to pack to have for a smooth and enjoyable trip: Sunglasses: Protect your eyes from the sun while lounging on deck or exploring areas offshore. Beach Tote or Bag: Carry your essentials with you wherever you go. Wide-Brimmed Hat: Get shade and protection from the sun while completing your chic summer look. Baseball Cap: Keep the sun out of your eyes during daytime excursions or activities. Clutch: Serves as the perfect stylish accessory for formal dinners. Jewelry: Enhance your outfit with versatile pieces that can transition from day to night. Avoid bringing overly expensive or sentimental jewelry so that you don’t have to worry about loss or damage. Cold-Weather Accessories: Gloves, scarves, beanies, and thermal socks for extra warmth. Packing Tips for a Cruise Packing all these outfits and accessories can be daunting, but there are several tips you can follow to make the process easier: Create a capsule wardrobe. If you focus on a color palette that allows easy mixing and matching, you'll have a much more versatile selection of outfits. You can easily dress up and dress down these pieces depending on the situation. Roll clothes instead of folding them to save vital space in your luggage. You can also get packing cubes and organizers from your local store to use your space more efficiently.  Remember to pack sunscreen, a reusable water bottle, medication, toiletries, and other essentials.  Leave behind heavy and bulky items unless they’re necessary for your destination.  Avoid bringing uncomfortable footwear, such as very high heels, that can cause discomfort while walking on a moving ship.  Review your cruise line’s specific guidelines carefully to make sure what is allowed and what is prohibited.  Every Cruise Line Is Different At the end of the day, every cruise line is different and offers a unique set of amenities and activities that can influence your packing and overall experience. You need to understand the specific features and expectations of your cruise line so that you can tailor your wardrobe and accessories accordingly.  The guidelines shared in this article are an excellent starting point for planning your wardrobe. Given your cruise’s rules and your personal preferences, you can add and subtract items as you see fit. It might seem like a chore at first, but the better prepared you are, the more you'll enjoy your cruise adventure.  

Since the introduction of photography, family portraits have been a tradition for many. Now that we all carry a high-quality camera in our pocket, candid photos are more popular than ever, but sometimes having a planned family photo can be a charming way to commemorate an occasion. One of the most common family photos are yearly Christmas photos, but you can take a group picture for all sorts of events. Birthdays, anniversaries, reunions, or family vacations are wonderful excuses to get together and take a picture. Of course, if you’re taking a special photo, you want everyone to look the part. Most families have some people who are chronically overdressed and others who are chronically underdressed, so choosing a theme or dress code ahead of time can help the picture look more cohesive. There’s nothing cuter than a coordinated theme to family outfits in a photo.  Looking Your Best in Family Pictures For some of us, taking photos in general can be stressful. We might feel self-conscious about how the camera captures us, or we may compare ourselves to others in our own family. When you’re old and gray, though, you may regret it if you don’t have pictures of yourself with the people you love. No matter the theme, you can choose to create an outfit that helps boost your confidence. Pick a silhouette that flows over your body, not clinging or scrunching. While stretch jersey fabrics feel comfortable, they don’t photograph well, so choose a woven fabric with some structure. Make sure your outfit fits well and feel free to adjust it with a belt or by tucking things in to create a more dynamic shape or more even proportions. Even a boxy t-shirt can be styled in a way that makes you feel more confident, so take the time to style yourself before the photo. Your smile will be even brighter if you do. Matchy-Matchy Family Picture Outfit Ideas The easiest way to make sure everyone is dressed to the theme is to have everyone wear the same thing. It takes some pre-planning, but if that’s the concept you want, it’s worth the effort. Matching Tees The old family reunion special is matching t-shirts, and it’s easier than ever now with print shops letting you upload your designs digitally. Make sure to order the right number of the right sizes so everyone’s shirt fits well in the picture. You can poll everyone ahead of time in the family group chat. If you want to create your own custom tees, make sure to enlist the most artistic member of the family to help create a design that’s cute enough to wear even after the photo is taken. Matching Outfits If you’re dressing a smaller group, there are other options beyond the classic t-shirt. Many larger mall and big box brands like Old Navy, Gap, and Target have clothing in a wide range of sizes and cuts for men, women, children, and teens. Classic items like solid color button-downs or cable knit sweaters will likely be available across all those sizes. Sometimes the same patterns will also be available in children’s and adult clothes or very similar kids’ versions of adult designs. There are even brands that specialize in “mommy and me” or “daddy and me” outfits, so you can find an identical outfit in kid and adult sizes. Having your baby or toddler match you perfectly will, no doubt, make your photos extra adorable. Unique Family Picture Outfit Ideas Sometimes you want a more organic look to your photos, especially if you’re dressing a group of mainly adults.  If you don’t want to purchase identical clothing items for every member of the family, you can choose a theme that everyone dresses to instead. This will give your photos a charming sense of harmony without looking artificially staged. Here are a few ideas to consider when picking outfits for your family photos. Stick to a Theme You can think of your family photo themes as party themes: choose something fun to let everyone’s creativity shine through. Pick a theme and let everyone have fun creating a costume or look together. Maybe you want to do an old west theme and have everyone dress up as cowboys and Oregon Trail pioneers. Or, the theme could be beach vacation. Everyone can wear their swimsuits and Hawaiian shirts with sunglasses. You could also do your own version of the MET Gala with everyone dressed in their very best formal outfit. A theme could also be based on a beloved book for a film the whole family enjoys. Each member of the family could dress as their favorite character. An open theme not only allows each member of the family to put a unique spin on a concept, but also lets you show the personality of your family as a whole. Choose a Color The easiest way to make a family photo look well-coordinated is to choose a color for everyone to wear. It’s usually easiest to choose a neutral color that everyone will have in their wardrobe. While it’s tempting to pick basic black, a lighter color like cream or beige will brighten everyone up and keep the photo from looking too drab. You don’t have to limit yourself to neutrals, of course, you can also choose a color that’s representative of your family or important in your culture. It will be a more visually interesting photo to have everyone wear their favorite shade of the same color. It will be obvious that the theme was planned, but it will allow everyone to pick the shade that best flatters them and makes them feel good. Pick a Matching Item of Clothing Who doesn’t love an ugly sweater party? This outfit revolves around a specific item, a sweater, and allows everyone to exercise their creativity in the one they choose. While this is common for winter holidays, there are other items you could choose to match. Denim jackets are a classic item that many people have in their wardrobes. They can be simple and basic blue denim, but they can also come in a variety of washes and colors. Some people also enjoy customizing their jean jackets with patches, pins, and paint. A jean jacket family photo will look cohesive while still allowing each person to show their creativity and style. Coordinate a Pattern Patterns are one of the best ways to add excitement or visual interest to an outfit, and you can also use them to spice up a family photo. Classics like stripes or polka dots are easy to coordinate, but you can also choose more unique patterns that reflect your family’s cultural background. If you have Scottish heritage, choose a tartan associated with your family clan. If you have Ashanti roots, add a piece made with Kente cloth to your outfit. For families that trace their ancestors back to the Andes Mountains, try adding some Quechua patterns. Every culture has a rich history of textiles that are unique to that region. You can incorporate one item of clothing in that pattern into everyone’s outfit. Perhaps someone wears it as a shirt, another as a scarf, a headband, or even a dress. This is a beautiful way to create a thread that links everyone’s outfit, but allows individuality. Or you can simply choose a fun pattern that everyone loves and let them incorporate it into their look. Seasonal Themes Choosing a seasonal theme is also a great way to get everyone on the same page. Spring and fall are particularly great seasonal themes that come with a strong sense of visual language. If you can take your pictures in an outdoor setting during those seasons, even better! For spring, a pastel color palette with soft neutrals is perfect. Floral patterns work well too. Linen shirts, light colored slacks, midi dresses, or flowy skirts in the colors and patterns of the season will look great on every member of the family. Choosing a park or botanical garden as your backdrop will create the perfect spring photo. For fall, you can take inspiration from the autumn foliage. Deep browns, burgundy, burnt orange, and forest green are beautiful colors for fall. Chunky knits and flannel shirts are perfect at this time of year and can be paired with denim or khaki bottoms.  You could choose a long-sleeved dress or pair a chunky sweater with a maxi skirt and leather boots for a look that practically smells like pumpkin spice. Take your photos in a wooded area to showcase the trees or at a pumpkin patch. What’s cuter than kids in a pumpkin patch? Say Cheese in Your Perfect Family Photo Outfit When it comes time to take the picture, everyone will be smiling brighter if they had fun creating their look and feel good wearing it. These are some of our favorite family picture outfit ideas, but there are so many options. You can choose the theme that best represents your unique family and the incredible individuals in it.

Good news for music lovers: the legendary Stevie Nicks is touring! Known as the “Queen of Rock ‘n Roll” in her heyday, Nicks rose to fame with the band Fleetwood Mac in the 1970s. Her songwriting skills and vocal style helped the band achieve incredible success at the time, and new generations have been discovering their music ever since. Nicks combines rock, pop, folk, and even blues elements in her music. Some of her most famous songs include “Dreams,” “Rhiannon,” and “The Chain.” Since 2019, Nicks has started performing again as a solo artist. Fans of vintage rock flock to her concerts to celebrate her decades-long career. Nicks was famous not only for her signature sound but also for her fashion. A petite woman, Nicks never shied away from big and bold looks. Many of her iconic fashions reflect the 1970s boho fashion movement with long skirts, bell sleeves, and layered colors and textures. Some describe her style as witchy, and many look to her as an inspiration for the cottagecore and whimsigoth aesthetics that became popular in the 2020s. If you’re attending a Stevie Nicks concert, you probably want to match your look to the vibe, taking some inspiration from her style. We’ll share a few ways to pay homage to Nicks’ classic looks while still being comfortable for the whole night. Choosing Your Concert Outfit When choosing an outfit, it’s important to consider comfort, especially if it’s at an outdoor venue or part of a music festival. You want to wear something you can move in and something that won’t get stepped on and torn if you’re in the pit at the show or as you move around. When choosing a Stevie Nicks-inspired outfit, you’ll also want to choose a look that you’re physically and mentally comfortable wearing all night. Some of her daring looks may become a sensory nightmare for you if you hate a plunging neckline or the feeling of a big flowy sleeve. Use Stevie Nicks as inspiration, but be sure that any new pieces you choose also reflect you and become something you’ll love wearing after the concert is over. Stevie Nicks Concert Outfit Ideas: Pick Your Nicks Era Taylor Swift wasn’t the first artist to have distinctive styles attached to her different albums. Nicks has some style variations that have accompanied various moments in her career, so you can take inspiration from your favorite album Rumors Era This is probably one of Fleetwood Mac’s most famous albums, featuring some of their best-known songs. On the album cover, Nicks appears in an all-black outfit. Her black dress has sheer asymmetrical elements in the sleeves and skirt, and she’s wearing black stockings and shoes. To capture this era, choose a long black dress that also has sheer elements and asymmetrical details. You can elevate the look with a more modern silhouette, but add some classic Nicks-inspired accessories like sheer scarves and black tights. Belladonna Era Nicks released her first solo album, Belladonna,  in 1981. While some of Nicks’ signature style carried over from her work with Fleetwood Mac, she captures a more ethereal, dreamy look with the art on this album. On the cover, she wears a long white dress with sheer panels draping over her arms while she holds up a white bird. You can choose a white dress with some dreamy features inspired by this album. Lace and embroidery were details Nicks often wore, so by choosing a white dress with these textures, you can capture the spirit of her fashion. Mirage/The Wild Heart Era In 1982, Fleetwood Mac released Mirage, and the following year Nicks released her second solo album, The Wild Heart. Both albums took a darker tone in their album art. The Wild Heart particularly captures the gothic and witchy vibes Nicks is often associated with. Throughout her career, these witchy styles kept coming up.  You can capture a similar witchy-boho look by choosing a black dress that features textural details that give it more visual interest. Bell sleeves were also a staple of Nicks’ fashion, so a big sleeve on a black dress is essential. Classic Stevie Nicks Fashion Elements You don’t have to recreate a specific outfit or be inspired by one particular album, of course. When choosing your outfit for Stevie Nicks’ concert, you can use some creativity to create a unique outfit inspired by the visual language Nicks used in the many outfits she performed and was photographed in throughout her career. Wedding Dress-Inspired Looks Despite often embracing dark colors, Nicks wore a great number of white dresses for performances and photoshoots. Many of them had wedding dress-like elements with lots of ruffles and layers. Many of them also featured large sleeves or cape elements. You can play with a modern version of this wedding-inspired look by trying a trendy two-piece that still features Nicks-inspired ruffles and sheer elements. Colorful Vintage Boho Looks Despite Nicks using monochrome black and white looks frequently, she also captured the essence of the era. In the 1970s, interest in alternative styles with inspirations from around the world were capturing young people’s eyes. More was more, and many of these looks were maximalist masterpieces. Nicks would often wear colorful scarves or blouses paired with wide-legged jeans or long handkerchief hem skirts. Patchworks of various colors and patterns, along with embroidery and metallic details, created a charming visual collage in her outfits. You could similarly do a more dressed down look with a maxi skirt or jeans in a vintage cut, a cotton peasant blouse, and some colorful scarves or a long embroidered duster. You could even add some patches to your clothes for a DIY effect that was popular in the era. While you can experiment with jeans and skirts, we do love dresses for the ease of a one-piece outfit, and a dress that features some unique color elements and details gives you a shortcut to a Stevie Nicks concert look. Modern Cottagecore Looks Stevie Nicks’ iconic style has influenced decades of alt-fashion. The 2020s cottagecore movement is the grandchild of the 1970s flower child movement in many ways. Some of the iconic elements that Nicks embraced, like long skirts, big sleeves, and colorful floral designs, are reimagined in modern cottagecore fashion. Pay homage to Nicks while choosing a more contemporary style that you can wear to many other events by picking a dress with more structural elements. While Nicks favored a lot of loose, floaty silhouettes, a corseted bodice is a great way to give you a little extra support. Rompers built into dresses are also a fun trend that gives you coverage with a higher leg slit or a shorter hem. Whimsigoth Looks Later in Nicks’ career, many of the styles she embraced moved away from the light, ethereal sheer elements she incorporated in the 1970s. By the 1990s, many of the outfits she performed in were reflective of the eclectic witchy vibes of that decade. Many people have since dubbed that style as “whimsigoth.” As you might expect, the style incorporates gothic elements like dark colors and chunky silver jewelry, but it also has a slightly more whimsical edge to it with florals, handkerchief skirts, and sweetheart necklines. Channel Stevie Nicks in this later era by choosing fabrics like velvet and crepe in black or jewel tones.  The key to this style is contrast: heavier fabrics paired with light fabrics, floaty asymmetrical skirts paired with chunky Doc Martens. Add a velvet ribbon choker with a silver charm to finish the outfit. Accessorize Like Stevie Nicks Even a simple dress or pair of jeans can be accessorized to blend in better at a Stevie Nicks concert. Look at old photographs from different eras of her career to get inspired and work with some pre-existing items in your wardrobe to create a unique look. Adding a long duster or kimono cardigan as a top layer to your outfit almost instantly makes you look more like Stevie. Especially if the duster has lace, embroidery, or big hanging sleeves. Colorful sheer scarves are also a great way to add to your outfit. Drape them over your shoulders or try tying them over your hips to add a layered skirt effect to your look. Pay Homage to the Queen of Rock With Our Stevie Nicks Concert Outfit Ideas Stevie Nicks has had an incredible decades-spanning career both with Fleetwood Mac and solo, and her eclectic style has become almost as famous as her musical talent. When you go to a Stevie Nicks concert, dressing the part is a fun way to show your love for this enduring artist. By choosing pieces that you love and feel comfortable in, you can also reflect your own personal style and add a little Stevie Nicks to your wardrobe. This will help you have a concert outfit that you’re comfortable in and will wear again, rather than a costume you’ll cringe at later.

If you’re struggling to put together your look, our expert styling tips below are sure to help! Pick a Shade of Red That Suits Your Features  There are various shades of red, each better suited to certain skin undertones. While you can certainly wear any shade of red and pull it off with the right styling, opting for a color that naturally complements your undertones will give you that effortlessly stylish vibe. In general, robust, dark red shades such as crimson pair best with warm skin undertones, while bright, light shades like cherry complement cool undertones beautifully. If you have neutral undertones — meaning you have a combination of both warm and cool — you can likely pull off any shade of red.  You should also consider your physical features, such as your hair color and eye color. You want the red shade to elevate your natural features rather than clash against them. Brown hair often pairs well with burgundy and candy red, while if you have blonde hair and blue eyes, you may find that ruby helps your features pop more. That said, the easiest way to figure out which red shades work best for you is to try out various looks in person. Head down to your local mall and experiment with a whole range of different red outfits — go out of your comfort zone and explore red colors you may not traditionally go for, as you may be pleasantly surprised by the results! At the end of the day, though, remember that the best red shade for you is the one that makes you feel comfortable, bold, and confident.  Dress for the Season Honoring what you feel confident in is the most important factor of all when choosing a red outfit. However, if you’re struggling to narrow down your options, taking inspiration from the season may help. Winter: Cool, dark reds like ruby and crimson work fabulously in winter. You can also opt for red shades with hints of brown or purple, like burgundy, for a more sophisticated, luxe look.  Fall: Warm, earthy reds such as brick, maroon, and auburn can match the comfy, snug feel of fall beautifully.  Spring: Spring is all about life and new beginnings. You can match this cheerful vibe with light, bright red shades like poppy.  Summer: Summer traditionally calls for cool red shades, such as cranberry, cherry, rose, or raspberry red. This isn’t just because these shades suit the season; they’ll also help keep you cool under the summer heat! Be Mindful of the Occasion and Dress Code  While we don’t want to limit your creativity, it is important to be mindful of the type of occasion you’re attending and whether there is a dress code to follow. For example, if you’re attending a formal event, you’ll want to leave the red sandals at home and opt for a pair of red stilettos instead. The most common dress codes are casual, semi-casual, formal, and black tie. We’ll provide a brief overview of each dress code and the kinds of attire that you’ll be expected to wear: Casual Casual is the most informal dress code. It calls for a laid-back, relaxed look and prioritizes comfort over style. Typical casual attire includes sneakers, shorts, t-shirts, and denim jeans.  Semi Casual As the name suggests, semi-casual (aka smart casual) is essentially a blend between formal and casual. You’ll be expected to wear clothes that are still comfortable, yet are a touch more polished and well-fitted than standard casual attire. This means baggy jeans, jogging pants, and sandals are a no-go. Instead, opt for cotton button shirts, midi-length dresses, and relaxed-fit blazers. You may still be able to wear sneakers, provided you dress up your outfit in other ways.   Formal A formal dress code calls for an elevated look and will require you to wear professional attire. Common formal wear includes tailored jackets, sophisticated maxi-length dresses, and pleated smart pants. Black Tie  A black tie is the most sophisticated and strict dress code of all, and you’ll typically only find it at exclusive, luxurious events, such as balls, or special occasions like weddings.  At a black tie event, women are often expected to wear floor-length ball gowns, while men should dress up in black tuxedo suits. Making a Statement in Red  Red is a bold color that definitely draws attention, but that doesn’t mean you can’t pull it off. There is a red outfit out there for everyone, and as long as you feel confident in what you’re wearing, you’re sure to look stunning and feel your best.  For a more glamorous look, remember you can always dress up a red outfit with accessories, such as a clutch bag, fitted blazer, heels, or elegant jewelry.
