What to wear, event by event

  • Wedding guest — follow the dress code on the invitation. Skip white and anything that competes with the couple. Daytime weddings suit lighter colors and fabrics; evening ones call for darker, dressier choices.
  • Job interview — match the company's everyday dress, then go one step dressier. Fit and a neat finish matter more than labels.
  • First date — one notch above your everyday, in something you can sit, walk, and relax in. You want to look like yourself on a good day.
  • Cocktail party — for men, a suit or a blazer and trousers, tie optional. For women, a knee- to midi-length dress or dressy separates.
  • Black-tie gala — for men, a tuxedo. For women, a floor-length gown, or a very formal cocktail dress or elegant separates where the invitation allows.
  • Graduation — daytime smart casual that photographs well. Wear shoes you can stand in for hours, and check the weather if it's outdoors.
  • Holiday party — festive but comfortable. Rich textures such as velvet, deep colors, or one piece with a little shine.
  • Brunch — relaxed daytime: easy layers, clean sneakers or loafers, nothing that needs ironing mid-mimosa.

How the event stylist works

Choose womenswear or menswear and pick the event. Tailr designs a complete head-to-toe outfit for it (top, bottom, shoes, and outerwear where the look needs it) using real products that are in stock now, so you can shop the pieces you don't own.

You get a few free previews a day without an account. With a free account, Tailr styles the clothes you already own first, and adjusts for your body, your taste, and the local weather.

Questions

What's the difference between cocktail and black-tie attire?
Black tie is the more formal of the two: a tuxedo for men and a floor-length gown or equally formal outfit for women. Cocktail attire is a step down, with suits and blazers for men and knee- to midi-length dresses or dressy separates for women.
Can I wear white to a wedding as a guest?
It's best to avoid it. White, ivory, and anything close are traditionally the couple's, unless the invitation asks guests to wear them.
Can Tailr style an outfit from clothes I already own?
Yes. With a free account, add your closet and Tailr builds the event look from your own pieces first, suggesting new ones only for the gaps.
Is the event stylist free?
Yes. You can preview a few complete outfits a day without an account or a credit card.
