Seven Ensembles that Speak the Haute
At THC we like to give it to you straight. And the only way to do that is by giving you basic info you can run with or getting us into your closet so we can detail exactly what's what when it comes to your wardrobe.
That said, here's the cream on the looks you've got to have:
An Event LBD or Killer Tux: Because you absolutely must have this ammunition in your arsenal.
A Knock 'em Out Interview Outfit: Because your resum
e
is only as good as your attitude.
The Office to Cocktails Ensemble: Because work to fun means layering and a subsequent stripping down.
Your Casual Weekend Look: Because looking great and being comfortable is more than possible. We promise.
The Dress Up Date: Because regardless of age, you need to be able to amp up the sex appeal, male or female.
Your Sport Wardrobe: Because well-being necessitates working out, getting fit is better with good gear.
A Sleep Suite: Because there's nothing more haute than nighttime clothes and underthings that turn you on.
And there you have it. So, now what? Go play in your closet!
If you need help pulling these essentials together from what you've got, let us know and we'll answer your questions and/or get you a Haute Closet.
NOTE WELL: The most important part of this equation is the ingredients. Like cooking, if you want the best meal, you've got to use the best ingredients. Every piece - from your LBD to your underthings - should be 1. Unique 2. Elegant and 3. Economical. In translation, that adds up to every piece - from your trench coat to your date skirt - being something you absolutely love, something that looks extraordinary on you and the very best you can afford. All ofthat will add up to a Haute Closet, a perfectly wearable wardrobe.

Alright darlings, you've waited long enough. Real style at Lollapalooza was hard to come by. We were absolutely lost in a sea of uninspired trends, i.e. Keds Keds Keds!, crop tops, neon and, above all, general slovenliness. But backstage there was a ton of good stuff going on. Check out our favorite girls from the fest - the Australian DJ duo known as NERVO - to the right and loads more of our Lolla style coverage on Lucky Online here, here, here and here. Also, be sure to check out what the musicians were wearing and saying in our refinery29 post. Plus - don't miss this this video from lastnightsparty: an instant hit and exactly the energy you missed if you weren't at the fest. And, of course, Chicago's Darkroom Demons - they've got the pics from all the parties! We will definitley be back again next year (it is, after all, our favorite weekend in Chicago - you're familiar with our Haute Tunes, no?) to capture those who truly make this the fest. Here are some of the best looks from Lollapalooza 2010:
