Valley pastel
1950s diner chic: pastel dresses, white collars, aprons with heart pockets, roller skates as formal footwear. Gingham is never wrong.
Three district styles
Grove noir
Evening-only elegance: black gowns, sequins, long gloves, vintage brooches, and masks for carnival season. Daylight is not a color.
Cove tropical formal
Cream tiki jackets, bamboo buttons, bow ties, flower leis, and the daily fresh leaf boutonnière. Barefoot is acceptable at funerals and weddings alike.
Marlow’s look, decoded
The cream jacket says at your service; the teal bow tie says but make it festive; the lei says you're a friend now; the fresh leaf says today matters.
