Levels of Formality Visual Cheat Sheet Printable

$ 7.00

A printable 10-page cheat sheet to help you decipher dress codes and map the right clothes to every part of your life.

Instantly decide what clothes to buy and wear for every part of your life 🌿

The Levels of Formality Visual Cheat Sheet Printable is a handy reference tool to simplify the way you decide what to wear for the different occasions in your life.

One of the biggest hurdles in curating an intentional wardrobe and getting dressed is identifying what you’re looking at. Is that top truly “smart-casual,” or is it just “casual”? Does this dress work for a professional event? What pieces do I need for my loungewear wardrobe?

I created this cheat sheet to give you an objective standard—so you can stop debating with yourself and confidently decide what your wardrobe needs!
this cheat sheet is for you if:
  • You prefer visual examples over theory: You want to see exactly what “smart-casual” looks like compared to “professional” so you can quickly decide what to buy and wear—and move on.
  • You need a quick “sanity check” while shopping: You’re tired of buying clothes that don‘t quite fit your needs. You want a physical tool you can reference in the fitting room to confirm, “Yes, this blazer is definitely suitable for casual meet-ups.”
  • You want to categorize your closet fast: You are auditing your wardrobe and need a clear rubric to help you sort your clothes into piles without overthinking every single item.
what’s inside:
  • THE GUIDELINES: 2 essential pages containing the quick “Rules of the road” on how to read and use the cheat sheets, and in general, how to apply the Levels of Formality framework to your wardrobe.
  • THE VISUAL CHEAT SHEETS: 8 dedicated visual pages—one for each formality level (from Level 0 House/Rough Duties to Level 7 Formal Occasion). On every page, you will find:

    • The Context: Concrete list of activities associated with the formality level.
    • The Key Clothing Pieces & Uniforms: List of clothing examples to help you determine what to wear and buy for this specific formality level. It also includes clear illustrations to help you visualize the core distinctions.
    • The “Vibe”: The specific characteristics (e.g., cozy vs. technical) and personality messages (e.g., relaxed vs. polished) associated with the overall vibe & look of the formality level.
why you need this:
  • IT’S YOUR WARDROBE “ANSWER KEY”: Forget memorizing rules. This is the reference tool you keep on your phone or closet door to pull up whenever you get stuck on a dress code or deciding your specific wardrobe essentials.
  • IT GIVES YOU THE VOCABULARY: It provides specific keywords and characteristics for every formality level to help you describe and find exactly what you’re looking for. You’ll know what makes a clothing or outfit “smart-casual” or “professional” (even if the differences might seem miniscule to others!)
  • IT MAKES THE ABSTRACT CONCRETE: It turns vague concepts like “formal” and “casual” into clear, visual guidelines you can actually picture in your mind and follow.
