StyleFrame: Holiday Dressing for the Rocker
While your fully loaded schedule of band rehearsals and shows may be enough, we know you’ve got your fair share of holiday parties to hit. How do you take your studio space look to the tinsel strewn, open bar, sure to be photographed holiday festivities? Don’t worry that beautiful yet unkempt head [of hair] of yours. Just take a swig from your glass of whiskey-on-the-jingle-bell rocks, because T&B has you covered.
The Bonobos Deep Navy Safari Blazer is your alternative to the typical blazer. A great fit that conveys a little bit of class, while still maintaining your casual laid back “I don’t care about societal norms” vibes.
The mini pinstripes on this All-son Military Shirt from Urban Outfitters adds that prep to your image, without making you look like you belong in a country club. We know this is in, because we saw an entire Norwegian band basically wearing this as a uniform at a Greenpoint loft party. True stories.
Who says you can’t wear navy and black together? And more importantly, who gives a flying guitar riff? These JBrand Kane Jeans are slim, straight, and for all intents and purposes- holiday party fancy. No one will even know that you’ve spent the entire week sleeping in these pants in your tour van.
The Tortoise & Blonde Quincy glasses in Fade to Grey give off an unspoken sense of sophistication. Oh yes, the ombre look will let everyone at the party know how serious of a musician you are- your mind filled with deep meaningful lyrics that you’d apathetically discuss to those who attempt conversation about your art.
Keep the Tortoise & Blonde Ashbury shades in one of those giant blazer pockets of yours (see why you needed to opt for the safari jacket?) for the inevitable blast of sunshine you will be getting as you walk (or stumble) out of the “after-hours, post-after, after party” at 7am. It’s always good to be surprisingly responsible… and to look cool while doing it.
We’d go to a holiday party with this guy.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lwmh92eEWs1qhkg5bo1_r1_500.jpg)

A Small Girls Channukah Guide:
1. If you want to be surrounded by jolly people this holiday season, give the gift of clear eyesight with a pair of Tortoise & Blonde glasses. Pearl and The Beard loves them.Probably because they can see clearly now.
2. Ever wanted to see your bff wearing a cool fanny pack? AND a pair of shades? Katherine Kwei has lots of great styles, shapes & colors. We recommend pairing any of the handbags with a pair of Tortoise & Blonde sunglasses (to combat holiday party hangovers, obvs).
3. Did you get a shirt from someone that you just don’t like? Refashioner makes regifting your closet easy and simple. Who knows, you might even find yourself a new wardrobe (for half the price), too!
