An Outfit and a Pair of Frames for any Occasion
Kaki Read – Fashion Coordinator at Warby Parker

Every occasion calls for a new style. Depending on the event, there is a perfect outfit and a handful of key accessories such as eyeglasses to match in order to create the perfect look. Knowing how to dress for every event/occasion is a fashion must. Whether it is for a flight, vintage party, or for the home office, there are essential pairings for looking your best!

Flying
Whether flying national or international, you want to dress comfortable yet stylish for any flight. The perfect outfit for any flight is a nice pair of thick leggings and a long sleeve cotton shirt that is either grey or cream colored. Pair this ensemble with a floral printed infinity scarf and you have a put together comfy look. Opt to wear flats since they will be easy to take off during security checks and are easy to run in incase you need to catch a flight fast! No flight is complete without a pair of readers – try the Webb in whiskey tortoise, to bring this look to new heights.

These J.Crew Pixie Jodhur Pants are the perfect mix of edge and casual

Vintage Party
Whether your style is generally vintage inspired or you are attending a party that calls for a vintage theme, there are plenty of great vintage styles to try. A go to style is a vintage inspired dress that can be found at any consignment shop. Try to find a unique pattern to truly achieve that vintage feel. Pair the dress with a pair of thick framed, vintage inspired glasses and cute heels and you have a truly vintage outfit. For accessories try a pair of vintage inspired frames such as the Duckworth in marine slate. Curl your hair in tight curls and spray with an extra-hold hairspray for a vintage hairstyle to pull the whole vintage look together.

The kitten heel and toe on these Kate Spade Simon Pumps totally have a vintage feel.

Home Office
If you work at home then there is an outfit for the home office as well. Your outfit can help with your mindset because by staying in your pajamas all day you might not get that work mentality. That is why even if no one gets to see you at your home office during the day you should still get dressed and styled even for just yourself. A perfect outfit it a pair of cream colored skinny jeans, a loose flowy printed blouse and a pair of vintage inspired glasses to give that extra intellectual feel like a pair of Chandler frames in olivewood. Wear your favorite watch and a nice small necklace. Wear your hair natural and down, and stay away from any heat products so that you can give your hair a bit of a rest.

These J Brand Slim Pants are twill, so they are comfy but you still look put together.
