What should I wear? Get an answer for the actual event
"What should I wear" is rarely a question about fashion. It is a question about a specific room, a specific temperature and a specific set of people. The Occasion Planner answers it with looks assembled from your saved pieces, so the answer is wearable tonight.
Open the Occasion PlannerFree with a Trend Tutor Academy account. Saved closets and outfits are personal, so you sign in first.
Describe the room, not the vibe
The more concrete the brief, the better the answer. "Autumn wedding, garden ceremony, indoor reception, likely 15C, dress code says semi-formal" gets you somewhere. "Something cute" does not.
Include the things that quietly decide the outfit: how long you will stand, whether you will be photographed, whether there is grass involved.
Reading dress codes without panicking
Semi-formal means a dress or tailoring, not a gown. Business casual means the trousers do the formal work and the top can relax. Cocktail sits between them and is decided mostly by fabric and shoe.
When a code is unclear, dress to the second-most formal reading of it. Being slightly overdressed is invisible; being underdressed is not.
Save the answer for next time
Save the look you actually wore. The next wedding, work dinner or long-haul flight starts from a real outfit instead of a blank screen, and your wear counts stay accurate.

Questions people ask
- Does it use live weather?
- No. You tell it the conditions you expect, which also means it works for a trip three weeks out.
- What if my closet does not have the right piece?
- The answer will say so. Use the Gap Analyzer or Get the Look to work out what is worth adding rather than buying in a panic.
- Can I ask follow-up questions?
- Yes. Ask the Stylist keeps a thread, so you can push back on a suggestion and get a revised answer.
