the levels of formality illustrated cheat sheets

Dress for the occasions you actually have.

8 Levels of Formality Scale
Eight illustrated pages, one for each Level of Formality, from messy chores to black tie. Each page shows the activities that belong to that level and the clothes it calls for, from tops and bottoms to shoes and bags. A flowchart is also included to help you identify the formality level of any activity. You’ll have a printable guide to what every part of your life calls for, so you know what to look for before you buy.
When you sign up for the free cheat sheets, I’ll also email you when I publish any new content and products. I will always respect your privacy and data, and you can unsubscribe at any time.

about anna & wardrobe on purpose
I’m Anna, the founder of Wardrobe on Purpose. I’ve been a clotheshorse and minimalist semi-nomad who have tried most wardrobe advice, from buying basic essentials to building capsule wardrobes. None of it held until I started looking at the life I was actually dressing for. Now I build intuitive (yet logical!) tools and frameworks that help you work out what your own life and style call for, so getting dressed is easy and you still feel like yourself.
