Rank & Style's Sale Guide

We're ready to go ahead and dub <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/collections/brands-we-love-quay-australia" target="_self">QUAY glasses</a> the social media sunnies of the summer! The sunglasses you've probably already seen splashed across social media are the same ones you're going to see in real life as you hit the beaches and city streets this summer. If you aren't already familiar with these internet-famous frames, QUAY is an Australian sunglasses brand that has scratched the itch for affordable luxury with its collection of bold, fashion-forward eyewear.
This once-indie Australian brand is now a global sensation that's loved by influencers, celebs, and trendsetters. However, you don't need to be an A-list celebrity to get your hands on these oversized frames and irresistible designs for men and women. These shades are eclipsing ultra-expensive eyewear by delivering designer-style looks with no designer price tags in sight!&nbsp;
Is QUAY a good brand to get into if you're shopping for sunglasses? We pride ourselves on recommending only the most on-trend and high-quality products, and QUAY has consistently impressed us with its stylish designs, accessibility, and undeniable presence in the eyewear industry.
<h2>From Festival Tents to Global Fame</h2>
Founded in 2004 in Melbourne, Australia by a husband-and-wife team, QUAY quickly became a favorite on the festival scene. The brand's effortlessly cool look captured the essence of festival fashion like nothing before. Soon, QUAY moved from festival booths to the international market to become a global brand sold in more than 35 countries.&nbsp;
Devoted shoppers also flock to flagship stores in the United States and Australia to snatch the latest designs in person. In addition to being one of the biggest sunglasses brands, QUAY now offers prescription glasses that let you bring your festival spirit to the office.
If you're wondering how to pronounce QUAY, it's KEY. The brand's name actually refers to a platform built alongside a body of water for boats.
<h2>The QUAY Collection: Shades, Blue Light Glasses &amp; More</h2>
While QUAY is a brand with strong festival connotations, it has everything from preppy to practical looks in its collection.
<h3>Statement Sunglasses</h3>
You can get pretty addicted to this brand if you love collecting <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/top-10-list/best-sunglasses-for-women" target="_self">statement sunglasses</a>. QUAY does an amazing job with thick, chunky, it-was-a-long-night sunglasses that are so fun to hide behind on certain days. There are even some toned-down statement sunglasses that are intriguing without being overpowering. The brand's signature frame shapes include aviator, aviator shield, square, round, narrow, and cat-eye.
If you're looking for the most iconic sunglasses from QUAY, we have a few suggestions. The unisex NIGHTFALL is a shield-style look that features an oversized flush lens combined with a minimal frame for a cool, futuristic look that feels like a feather against the bridge of your nose. This happens to be QUAY's No. 1 seller.
If you prefer to dive in with a cool and classic aviator look that feels a little less stylistically ambitious, the HIGH KEY TWIST frames offer a comfortable fit in four finishes.
<h3>Blue Light Glasses</h3>
QUAY has a full lineup of <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/top-10-list/best-blue-light-glasses" target="_self">blue light glasses</a> in stylish ultra-crisp frames that are perfect for the commute, the office, or a night out. We're obsessed with the bookish vibes of the clear, metallic, and tortoise-shell frames in this category.
<h3>Prescription Eyewear</h3>
QUAY has an incredible lineup of stylish prescription glasses that let you keep an ever-so-subtle "festival" streak to your look. QUAY's telltale geometric shapes translate gorgeously to its traditional frames.&nbsp;
We especially like the signature QUAY aviator frame that's been translated to a thinned-out prescription look in gold or silver with the ALL CAPS RX collection. When it comes to bringing that chunky festival look to a streamlined design that's good for the office, we appreciate the BOLD TYPE RX and EXEC RX frames.
<h3>Accessories</h3>
QUAY sells really sturdy and roomy sunglasses cases that help to crush-proof your new frames. QUAY is clearly a brand that understands the "collector" personality of people who love sunglasses because consumers can purchase one-case, two-case, and four-case options that let you fit up to four pairs of sunglasses into a single easy-to-tote box. Features like embossments and velvet lining keep your glasses safe and pampered when they're not on your face.
Do you like to take your sunglasses with you on your travels? QUAY sells a gorgeous zip case with a wrist strap that literally lets you keep your glasses at your fingertips.
<h3>Celebrity Collabs</h3>
QUAY routinely partners with celebrities and influencers to roll out limited-edition collections with fun themes.&nbsp;
For example, the famous 12-piece QUAY X PARIS collection from 2022 features fun and funky Y2K-themed designs. In 2024, SZA was part of QUAY's spring reset campaign promoting its top-selling TTYL and On Set styles.&nbsp;
While red-hot collabs come and go, QUAY also has a permanent Celebrity Inspired collection featuring its popular ALL IN, Backstage Pass, High Profile, and YADA YADA frames.
<h2>Who's Wearing QUAY?</h2>
QUAY can't really be considered a trendy brand because it built its base slowly by selling to festival fans starting in 2004. However, it's been discovered by fashion-obsessed millennials and Gen Z shoppers who love statement sunglasses. People who like to pepper their sunglasses collections with eyewear brands like Poppy Lissiman and VEHLA enjoy picking up a pair of QUAYs for less than what they're used to spending.
Of course, festival-goers and music lovers who helped to build this brand's authenticity still cling to the brand's refreshingly edgy and carefree aesthetic. More recently, Gigi Hadid, Hailey Bieber, and Cardi B have all been snapped wearing QUAYs.
<h2>Why QUAY Stands Out in a Sea of Sunglasses Brands</h2>
In a world full of sunglasses brands, QUAY is the cool kid that just gets it—bold, trendy, and totally wearable. So, what makes QUAY stand out from the rest? Let’s dive in and take a closer look.
<h3>Runway-Worthy, Wallet-Friendly</h3>
QUAY's mastery of using cool geometric shapes and oversized features without recreating "drugstore sunglasses" that cost a ton is so refreshing. These are truly runway-worthy, wallet-friendly looks. At between $65 and $85 per pair, QUAY makes high-fashion eyewear accessible.
<h3>Oversized &amp; Iconic</h3>
We love the way QUAY throws it back to oversized and iconic looks that once meant you were someone important who needed to hide behind your shades. There's something refreshing about aspirational eyewear that reminds you that you can be anyone when you're behind these shades.
<h3>The Ultimate Instagram Aesthetic</h3>
QUAY has dominated social media marketing to inspire millions of people to see the world through this brand's perspective. Like its sleekly funky designs, QUAY's influencer-driven campaigns never feel forced. There's something aspirational and relatable about seeing how busy influencers style their looks around QUAY glasses while attending events or traveling.
<h3>UV Protection + Polarized Lenses</h3>
While it's easy to get lured in by what we'll call the ultimate Instagram aesthetic, QUAY eyewear is actually a great choice if you want to protect your eyes with comfortable, well-supported frames, and durable lenses. While fashionable, these aren't just "fashion" glasses. QUAY offers scratch-resistant lenses with UV protection and options for polarized lenses.
<h2>The Viral Success Story: How QUAY Became a Cult Favorite</h2>
QUAY only feels like it came out of nowhere if you haven't been paying attention. This brand first got hot in the 2010s with help from its digital-first marketing and collaborations with celebrities who had already become aware of QUAY through its reputation as the go-to festival eyewear brand.&nbsp;
However, one of the big spotlight moments for QUAY was when their Kylie Jenner collection sold out within moments of its launch back in 2017. You haven't been able to scroll Instagram since without seeing someone wearing a pair of QUAYs!
With demand for these ultra-affordable glasses climbing, QUAY was able to make it easier for fans to pick out a pair of their own by launching several flagship stores and an e-commerce platform. QUAY also has partnerships with major retailers like Nordstrom and ASOS that help buyers discover exclusive designs.
<h2>Should You Buy QUAY? Here's Our Take</h2>
QUAY is a great option if you want trendy sunglasses that don't cost a fortune. For the price, QUAY offers true designer-look glasses that also provide a sturdy, secure and comfortable fit.&nbsp;
These aren't "fast fashion" glasses that you're only going to wear a few times. QUAYs are meant to be your everyday sunglasses and your prescription glasses as well.&nbsp;
However, the rule for entry with this brand is that you have to really be comfortable with bold sunglasses that make a statement. While some designs in the QUAY lineup are definitely more subdued, you won't get the utilitarian or sporty look that you'll get from brands like Oakley or Ray-Ban.
<h2>Questions About QUAY</h2>
<h3>Is QUAY a good brand?</h3>
Yes, QUAY is considered a quality option for regular sunglasses and prescription glasses. The brand is known for its frames offering edgy takes on traditional silhouettes.
<h3>Are QUAY sunglasses good quality?</h3>
QUAY is considered a designer-dupe sunglasses brand that offers better quality and eye protection compared to "fashion" sunglasses brands. Frames are designed to be lightweight and comfortable.
<h3>What’s special about QUAY sunglasses?</h3>
QUAY provides sunglasses that are made from high-quality materials and that are priced below $100. The brand is best known for its flattering oversized festival sunglasses that are beloved by influencers and celebrities.
<h3>Do QUAY glasses have a warranty?</h3>
Yes, the QUAY warranty covers sunglasses, prescription glasses, and blue light glasses against manufacturing defects from one year of the date of purchase. QUAY will repair or replace any covered item.

Semi-formal wedding attire hits that sweet spot between polished and relaxed—it’s less formal than black-tie but dressier than your go-to sundress and sneakers. Think classic silhouettes in elevated fabrics that feel elegant, not stuffy. You’ve got plenty of options here: knee-length, tea-length, or midi dresses, as well as chic jumpsuits, all fit the bill. For daytime weddings, light pastel crepe or airy chiffon dresses are popular, while richer, deeper satins and jewel tones tend to shine in the evening. Add a polished touch with accessories like gold jewelry, slingback heels, or a metallic clutch to complete the look.
A few things to avoid? Denim, overly revealing dresses, or anything too flashy—this isn’t the time for that glittery nightclub vibe. Semi-formal attire is all about looking tasteful, refined, and event-appropriate. It’s a dress code that works beautifully for both daytime and evening celebrations, especially when the wedding is set in scenic venues like vineyards, gardens, inns, churches, or temples. Ultimately, the goal is to feel put-together and confident while celebrating the happy couple.
<h3>Semi-Formal vs. Formal vs. Cocktail Attire?</h3>
When it comes to wedding etiquette, showing up in the right outfit shows that you respect the importance of their ceremony and want to honor their wishes. Understanding the nuances that separate semi-formal wear from formal and cocktail attire will ensure that you fit in perfectly.
<h4>Semi-Formal Attire</h4>
Semi-formal attire is the most relaxed of the three modes of dress, but it’s not casual wear. Women’s garments typically fall below the knee, but they don’t touch the ground. Daytime dresses, separates, and jumpsuits feature flowy and airy fabrics in soft pastels and floral prints. Evening wear showcases textured fabrics in subdued, darker hues and more structured fits. Handbags are typically small, and shoes are dressy. Men often wear suits or a jacket/dress pants combo in a seasonally appropriate natural fiber. Ties may be optional, depending on the venue.
<h4>Formal Attire</h4>
Formal attire is more structured and conservative than semi-formal attire. Women typically wear long gowns, elegant cocktail dresses, or dressy, tailored suits in rich or dark colors and luxurious fabrics. While <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/articles/black-tie-wedding-attire-guide" target="_self">black-tie dress codes</a> ask for floor-grazing dresses, it's fine to bare your ankles at a formal event. Petite, structured bags, shining statement jewelry, and fancy closed-toe flats or heels are go-to accessories for formal looks. Men should dress up by wearing a tuxedo or a dark suit and tie with a pressed dress shirt. Polished accessories like cufflinks, pocket squares, and dress shoes will complete the look.
<h4>Cocktail Attire</h4>
<a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/articles/what-is-cocktail-attire-for-a-wedding" target="_self">Cocktail attire for weddings</a> is fancy and vibrant without being too showy. Women should aim to impress in structured dresses, suiting, or jumpsuits in elevated fabrics. Since the mood will be happy and festive, shorter hemlines, brighter colors, patterns, and embellishments will be welcome. Statement jewelry, sparkling or metallic shoes, and a clutch bag will finish the look. Men can wear a dark suit and tie with a crisp black or white shirt and dress shoes. To give their ensemble personality, they should don a pocket square and cufflinks with clever details.
<h3>Tips for Choosing Semi-Formal Attire</h3>
When it comes to creating the perfect semi-formal look, you’ll need to consider the season, the venue, and the wedding theme. You should also dress for the weather and remember to avoid tight-fitting, uncomfortable clothes.
Here are some tips for planning your outfit:
<ul>
<li>Think about the time of day: Typically, the earlier the wedding, the lighter and flowier the look. Morning weddings call for candy colors and flutter sleeves; late afternoon and evening weddings tend to require darker, more elegant outfits.</li>
<li>Consider the location and wedding venue: Outdoor weddings typically call for more relaxed dress than indoor weddings. If the wedding is in a church, you may want to bring along a jacket; if it’s at the beach, you may want to wear dressy sandals or flat shoes.</li>
<li>Dress for the theme of the wedding: Many couples will organize their wedding around a concept, such as a nature- or western-inspired wedding. Try to pick clothes and accessories that fit the theme.</li>
<li>Match your date: Color-coordinating your outfit with your date’s wedding look is a wonderful way to enhance the day’s romantic mood.</li>
<li>Seasonal considerations: Choose colors for your wedding outfit that reflect the season. Spring often calls for candy colors and rosy tones while summer hues are brighter and more saturated. Earth tones work well for fall; jewel tones are lovely for winter. Cold-weather fabrics, like velvet, tend to be heavy and rich, and it’s a good idea to bring a shawl when the temperatures drop.</li>
<li>Think about the overall vibe: If you’re attending a wedding at a historical or religious venue, consider wearing a modest, structured outfit.</li>
<li>Consider the wedding colors: When you’re creating your wedding guest outfit, remember that it’s a faux pas to wear white or match the bridal party.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Semi-Formal Attire for Women</h3>
To create a lovely look to remember, be sure to consider your options. An ideal semi-formal outfit might be an elegant midi dress worn with neutral, colorful, or metallic heels; a <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/top-10-list/best-dressy-jumpsuits" target="_self">dressy jumpsuit</a> with chandelier earrings; or a two-piece set in an elevated fabric like silk.
At the same time, be sure to avoid wearing:
<ul>
<li>🗙 Casual sundresses</li>
<li>🗙 Jersey knits</li>
<li>🗙 Stretchy yoga pants</li>
<li>🗙 Floor-length gowns</li>
<li>🗙 Denim</li>
<li>🗙 Flip-flops or too-casual shoes</li>
<li>🗙 Clingy or revealing silhouettes</li>
</ul>
<h3>Semi-Formal Attire for Men</h3>
When it’s time to get dressed for a wedding, modern men have plenty of choices. A perfect semi-formal wedding look might include a wool or linen suit. Navy blue works well year-round, and lighter colors are great for warmer weather. Suits will pair well with a white or patterned button-down dress shirt. If he wants an alternative, he can wear a pair of dress pants with a <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/top-10-list/best-mens-casual-blazers-and-sports-coats" target="_self">lighter suit jacket</a>. Ties may be optional, but it’s smart to take one along. Dress shoes, dressy loafers, or oxfords will complete the look.
Men should also avoid wearing:
<ul>
<li>🗙 Tuxedos</li>
<li>🗙 Jeans</li>
<li>🗙 Polo shirts</li>
<li>🗙 T-shirts</li>
<li>🗙 Black suits</li>
<li>🗙 Shorts</li>
<li>🗙 Sneakers</li>
</ul>
Here are some lovely options for a semi-formal wedding.

What Is Semi-Formal Attire? A Wedding Guest Dressing Guide

AE Stretch High-Waisted Baggy Cargo Jogger

Gap Modern Rib T-Shirt

If you're looking for a stylish but understated look, balance your cargo pants with a fitted white tee. While the cargo pants bring the bulk and the utilitarian vibe, the white tee balances that out with a sleek, tailored silhouette.
The versatility of a white tee gives you plenty of options to tailor this look for any occasion. Pair it with black, denim, or another neutral color for a casual, simplistic look, or go bold by opting for a fun print or neon colored cargo pant. You can either tuck your t-shirt into high-waisted cargos or wear a slightly cropped tee that emphasizes your waist. And for footwear? Chunky sneakers or gorgeous sandals can finish the look. 
The Modern Rib T-Shirt from Gap is a great choice to pair with loose-fit cargos, like these AE Baggy Cargo Joggers. Use a <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/deals/gap-promo-code" target="_self"><ins>Gap promo code</ins></a> or <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/deals/american-eagle-promo-code" target="_self"><ins>American Eagle coupon</ins></a> to get the best deals.

Pair With a White Tee

The Drop

The Drop Blake Long Blazer

Target Mid-Rise Wide Leg Cargo Baggy Jeans

Thinking about adding a touch of sophistication to your cargo pants? Layer them with a blazer. This look is all about contrast. The clean, structured lines from the tailored blazer will create a beautiful contrast with the loose fit of the cargo pants. Play with different textures and fabrics to add even more depth to the look. Opt for neutral tones for a classic-chic vibe, or add a splash of color with a bright blazer paired with neutral cargo pants. Finish the look off with heels or stylish sandals.
We’ve rounded up our <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/top-10-list/best-womens-blazers" target="_self"><ins>favorite women’s blazers</ins></a> if you need inspiration. You can’t go wrong with the Blake Long Blazer from The Drop on Amazon. With colors ranging from simple black to bright pink, and fabrics from linen to velvet to sequins, there’s a Blake Blazer to match any style of cargo pants you’re using for this outfit. Our recommendation? Pair the Blake Blazer in pink rose with these wide-leg baggy cargo pants from Target for a fun spring look.

Layer With a Blazer

Entire Studios Heavy Gocar Cotton Cargo Pants

Éterne Fitted Long Sleeve Jersey Top

One of the surest ways to appear effortlessly chic is by going monochromatic. Wearing all black, for example, is simply edgy and cool. The beauty of wearing just one palette is that it also elongates your silhouette. So, if you're looking to slim your look, choose a dark palette and then make that palette pop with bold jewelry — necklaces or earrings. To keep your outfit dynamic, layer your cargo pants with shirts and jackets of different textures or even different shades. Experiment with accessories, too, like a matching bag or shoes. 
Brands that excel in simplistic essentials are great for building your monochromatic cargo pants outfit. This pairing from Luisaviaroma creates a slimming look with long lines from the baggy cargos and the high-neck top. Add heels and a sparkly clutch for the perfect single-tone look. However you wear it, you can save on this outfit with a <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/deals/luisaviaroma-promo-code" target="_self"><ins>Luisaviaroma promo code</ins></a>. (Image credit: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/kea.moko/" target="_blank"><ins>@kea.moko</ins></a>)&nbsp;

Go Monochromatic

AQUA Satin Jogger Pants

PINKO Voyager Cropped Top

To get a chic look with a cropped top, the trick is to master proportions. Since cargo pants come designed as relaxed and loose-fitting, you'll want to highlight your upper body with a fitted cropped top that will show off your shape and accentuate your waist. For more inspiration, check out our selection of the <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/top-10-list/best-crop-tops-under-100" target="_self"><ins>best crop tops under $100</ins><ins>.</ins></a>
We love the look of these light satin cargo joggers from AQUA paired with this fitted crop from PINKO. The contrast of the flowy pants with the fitted top is flattering, and these colors create the perfect spring outfit. Both pieces are currently on <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/deals/bloomingdales-promo-code" target="_self"><ins>discount at Bloomingdale's</ins></a>.

Balance Outfit With a Cropped Top

Uniqlo Pointelle Knit Henley Neck Sweater

Free People Found Faded Knit Pocket Hoodie

Styling cargo pants with a sweater can be a bit of a challenge. While you want to stay warm, you also want to avoid looking too bulky. If you have a chunky knit sweater, pair it with more slim-fitting cargo pants to give you a streamlined look. We think Free People's Take Me Home Cotton Sweater is perfect for this outfit. 
On the other hand, if you have bulky cargo pants, find a lightweight, fitted top like the Merino Ribbed Sweater from Uniqlo. What you're going for is balance, with the slimmer top offsetting the volume at the bottom. 
Free People and Uniqlo are two of our favorite brands for versatile sweaters because they offer a wide selection from lightweight and fitted to big and bulky. Both brands offer affordable options, but you can drop the price further by using a <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/deals/uniqlo-coupon" target="_self"><ins>Uniqlo coupon</ins></a> or <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/deals/free-people-promo-code" target="_self"><ins>Free People promo code</ins></a>.

Top With a Cozy Sweater

Banana Republic High-Rise Straight Twill Cargo Pant

Halara Ribbed Knit Square Neck Short Sleeve Button Skinny Work Bodysuit

If you really want to make your outfit pop and stand out from the crowd, pair your cargo pants with a bodysuit. A bodysuit is not only a beautiful contrast to the relaxed fit of cargo pants, but it can also show off some of your curves. 
Don’t be afraid to experiment with colors, or choose a sleek, neutral palette for a classic look. Check out our <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/collections/now-trending-bodysuits" target="_self"><ins>collection of trending bodysuits</ins></a> for some flattering options. For a minimalist chic look, combine a black bodysuit with white cargo pants. For a more exciting cargo pants outfit, pair a neutral body suit with bright-colored bottoms or a loud print. This simple white bodysuit from Halara paired with these blue high-rise cargo pants from Banana Republic creates a well-balanced outfit perfect for springtime. If you're shopping online, use a <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/deals/banana-republic-promo-code" target="_self"><ins>Banana Republic promo code</ins> </a>to score a major discount.

Try a Bodysuit

Sandro Cargo Trousers

Everlane The Glove Boot

To take your casual style up a notch, pair your cargo pants with heels or heeled boots. By combining the relaxed look of your cargo pants with sophisticated footwear, you can easily elevate your style from casual to polished. For a chic touch, go with stiletto heels. For an edgier look, wear heeled boots. Then, complete the look with a chic, cropped blazer or jacket. We love the sleek look of The Glove Boots from Everlane. Show them off with cropped cargo pants or let them peek out from under full-length cargos, like these clay-colored beauties from Sandro. You can find Sandro products at retailers like Nordstrom or Bloomingdale's, or you can save a little extra when you use a <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/deals/farfetch-promo-code" target="_self"><ins>promo code on FarFetch</ins></a>. (Image credit: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/calliso_/" target="_self"><ins>@calliso_</ins></a>)&nbsp;

Elevate the Look With Heels

The Drop Natalie V-Neck Lace Trimmed Camisole

Buckle Nori Camo Wide Leg Cargo Stretch Pant

If you're worried that your cargo pants feel a little too rugged, contrast them with some feminine details on top, like lace, silk or lingerie-inspired details. It's a great nod to your feminine side while still maintaining a grounded, casual vibe. You can complete your feminine look with heels or finish off the style with edgy-heeled boots. 
The delicate lace trim of the <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/collections/going-out-tops" target="_self"><ins>Natalie V-Neck Lace Trimmed Camisole</ins></a> from The Drop adds a soft touch to the utilitarian style of cargo pants. Pair with structured or camouflage cargos for even starker contrast. Our <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/top-10-list/best-lace-tops" target="_self"><ins>best lace tops collection</ins></a> is a great starting place for shopping this style.

Create Contrast

Tuckernuck Gold Mini Hoop Earrings

Michael Kors Carson Large Pebbled Leather Convertible Crossbody Bag

Simpler is almost always better when styling cargo pants. The rugged vibe of cargo pants already makes a distinct statement, so the key is to complete your look without overwhelming it. If your look is minimalist and understated, use subtle, accent jewelry, like gold hoops or a <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/collections/everyday-necklaces" target="_self"><ins>simple necklace</ins></a>. If you'd like to add a playful vibe, wear a colorful, chunky bracelet or fun belt.
When it comes to <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/collections/handbags-under-50" target="_self"><ins>handbags</ins></a>, think small. Clutch bags, crossbody bags, and mini backpacks are perfect additions. They add elegance without stealing the spotlight from your outfit. Stick with solid colors for a simple look, or go bold and experiment with prints. Score a great deal on this simple yet elegant crossbody bag when you use a <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/deals/michael-kors-promo-code" target="_self"><ins>Michael Kors coupon</ins></a>.

Add Thoughtful Accessories

Like many trends of the 90s and early 2000s, cargo pants are making a comeback. But these big-pocketed bottoms have gotten a major glow-up. While there’s still a place for the baggy camo pants of yesteryear, today's cargo pants outfits come in a variety of colors, silhouettes, and styles for every occasion. They're versatile and comfortable, and you can style them up and down with all your favorite clothes (or shoes). Walking your dog? Throw on sneakers with casual cargo joggers. Going out for a casual lunch with friends? Pair pair sleek silk cargo trousers with heels. Cargo pants effortlessly blend comfort and style in a creative and fun way. Here are some of our <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/collections/trending-cargo-pants" target="_self">favorite cargo pants trends</a> and how to style them.

9 Trendy Ideas For What To Pair With Cargo Pants

Our Favorite Cargo Pants Outfits & How To Style Them

Looking for a versatile dress you can wear in just about any situation? We love this BHLDN satin midi dress from Anthropologie. The sleek fit and one-shoulder silhouette lean toward a more classic look while the scarf detailing at the top adds a bit of extra flair and style. The subtle shine of the fabric and tailored cut make it a perfect cocktail dress, and it doesn't hurt that like a lot of other <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/collections/anthropologie-wedding-guest-dresses" target="_self"><ins>Anthro wedding guest dresses</ins></a>, you can also save on this purchase with an <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/deals/anthropologie-promo-code" target="_self"><ins>Anthropologie promo code</ins></a>!&nbsp;
The styling possibilities are endless for this BHLDN dress. For a more casual wedding, pick a simple pair of sandals and an understated pair of stud earrings. If you want a showstopper look, accessorize with colorful heels and a chunky cuff bracelet. Keep in mind that you can also adjust how you tie the scarf to switch up the look. Leave it flowing down the back for extra drama, or tie it in a bow for a romantic feel.

Black Satin Midi Dress

This stunning gown from Lulus is a great example of how a few simple accents turn a basic dress into a cocktail one. Like many other <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/collections/cute-affordable-wedding-guest-dresses" target="_self"><ins>affordable wedding guest dresses</ins></a>, it starts as a standard strapless dress. However, a sheer, pearl-beaded panel across the front ties over a shoulder for extra visual interest. The tasteful glam of this dress makes it perfect for a chic evening wedding.&nbsp;
How should you style this dress after you get a great deal with a <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/deals/lulus-promo-code" target="_self"><ins>Lulus promo code</ins></a>? We love using your accessories to call attention to the gorgeous details of this dress. With the one-shoulder neckline, pearl earrings or a dramatic black velvet hair ribbon are great choices.

One-Shoulder Dress With Sheer Details

Not in the mood to bare your shoulders? This <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/top-10-list/best-long-sleeve-cocktail-dresses" target="_self"><ins>sleeved dress</ins></a> from Hello Molly is a great example of how to do sleeves while still looking elegant. The satin fabric, slit skirt, and twisted back detail all help keep it dressy. In addition to being able to save on this dress with a <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/deals/hello-molly-discount-code" target="_self"><ins>Hello Molly promo code</ins></a>, we love that it's available in multiple colors.&nbsp;
This dress is versatile enough to work for an outdoor afternoon wedding with a simple pair of wedges, but it's also easy to dress up. A fun clutch bag and some dangly earrings are enough to make it suitable for evening wear. The silhouette works well with wraps and fur jackets, so it's especially great for a winter wedding.

Satin Sleeved Dress

The neutral print of this Quince gown is somewhat subtle but still bold enough to help you stand out. It's perfect for situations that call for a little extra flair, such as a wedding at an art museum or a botanical garden. The high-necked silhouette might seem demure, but it's balanced by a slightly more open back with a cross-strap detail. This dress from Quince is also surprisingly practical with its washable-silk fabric.
With this dress, we suggest letting the print be the star of the show. Instead of flashy accessories, wear a classic pair of hoops and simple slingback heels. The brown hues work perfectly with yellow gold, but unexpected options like <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/collections/burgundy-fashion-finds" target="_self"><ins>deep red</ins></a> can also work.

Floral Print High Neck Dress

If you prefer a shorter dress, we love the fun, flirty vibe of this frock from Tuckernuck. The A-line, knee-length silhouette is fresh and flattering while the tailored collar with a bow across the back helps elevate this dress to a cocktail level of formality.
For accessorizing, consider leaning into the mod, '60s feel of this dress. Some large, <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/top-10-list/best-bar-earrings" target="_self"><ins>structural earrings</ins></a> and a pair of platform heels are stylish options for a summer daytime wedding. If you want a dressier look for an evening wedding in an upscale location, consider pairing the high collar with an elaborate updo and glam shoes.

Swing Dress With a Bow

Received a wedding invite recently, only to spot the dreaded cocktail attire dress code? Whether you’re over the moon to celebrate with your loved ones or still trying to decipher what that means, figuring out the perfect outfit can be tricky. After all, cocktail attire isn’t exactly one-size-fits-all—it can vary depending on the venue, vibe, and time of day.
Fortunately, you don’t need to stress. At Rank &amp; Style, we’re all about simplifying your wardrobe dilemmas. Our fashion-savvy team has seen every wedding dress code in the book, and we’re here to make cocktail attire feel a whole lot less complicated. Keep reading for a breakdown of what it actually means—and some chic outfit ideas that will have you looking flawless on the big day.
<h2>What Is Cocktail Wedding Attire?</h2>
It probably won’t shock you to hear that cocktail attire got its start at—yep—cocktail parties. The trend first gained popularity in the 1920s, when people threw soirées that were a step above casual dinners but didn’t have the extravagance of a black-tie gala. Fast forward to today, and that same vibe still applies: cocktail attire is all about being dressy, polished, and a little fancy—but not too formal.
When it comes to weddings, you can think of cocktail attire as one notch above what you’d wear to a nice dinner or semi-formal event. It’s about finding that perfect balance: elegant and sophisticated without veering into overdressed territory. We’ll break it all down in more detail in a minute, but here’s the gist—most cocktail-ready outfits fit one of these categories:
<ul>
<li>• A knee-length or midi dress</li>
<li>• A skirt-and-blouse combo</li>
<li>• A polished jumpsuit</li>
<li>• Tailored trousers with a blazer</li>
<li>• A sleek suit</li>
</ul>
<h3>What Isn’t Considered Cocktail Attire?</h3>
Still feeling unsure about what fits the cocktail dress code? Sometimes it helps to look at what doesn’t qualify. One of the most common missteps is dressing too casually. Think jeans, t-shirts, leggings, and sneakers—all of which are way too laid-back for a cocktail wedding. Fabric matters, too, so steer clear of overly casual materials like athletic spandex or everyday denim.
That said, it’s also possible to land on the opposite end of the spectrum and end up overdressed. Keep an eye on the length of your dress—floor-length gowns are typically too formal. Similarly, dresses with very daring cuts (like ultra-plunging necklines) don’t quite fit the cocktail vibe. And if you do choose a more structured or dressy silhouette, opt for streamlined fabrics instead of super-fancy details like head-to-toe sequins or heavy beading.
<h3>Types of Cocktail Wedding Attire</h3>
Keep in mind that there's quite a bit of variation in cocktail outfits. Especially in the past few years, we've noticed many brides and grooms put cocktail wedding attire on the invite whenever they mean, "fancy, but not too fancy." Instead of sticking to classic semi-formal cocktail attire with sophisticated silhouettes and dark colors, you'll want to consider your audience and setting and make adjustments accordingly.&nbsp;
Here are some common variations you might encounter:
<ul>
<li>Formal cocktail attire: This variation leans toward a dressier version of cocktail wedding attire. Men will need suits, and women may want to lean toward more structured dresses. Sleek accessories and dark colors are usually popular as well.</li>
<li>Holiday and festive cocktail attire: Normally, anything overly sparkly is too dressy for cocktail wedding attire. However, during the holidays and special events, anything goes. Feel free to favor bold accessories, metallic accents, and <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/collections/under-300-holiday-dresses" target="_self">sparkly dresses</a>.&nbsp;</li>
<li>Beach and garden cocktail attire: Going to a wedding in an outdoor setting? Lighter colors, flat shoes or sandals, and <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/collections/resort-dresses" target="_self">dresses in simpler fabrics</a> like linen and chiffon are all welcome. Many brides and grooms appreciate bright colors and florals for this type of dress code.</li>
<li>Casual cocktail attire: If the guests and venue lean toward the more casual side, there's a chance traditional cocktail outfits might be a bit much. For more casual settings, you may want to wear a simple sundress or trousers with a collared shirt.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Cocktail Attire for Women</h3>
The most common choice for women is the dress. Ideally, a cocktail dress is knee to calf length, and it can be sleeveless or sleeved. Cocktail dresses should be somewhat dressy, so aim for fabrics like silk, taffeta, or lace. Traditional cocktail dresses tended toward darker colors, but patterns and bright colors are acceptable in modern cocktail dresses.&nbsp;
Another way to modernize cocktail wedding attire is by switching to separates. If you prefer pants and a nice top, you'll need to select something very dressy. Consider styles like flowing palazzo pants or a crisply tailored suit. A blouse and skirt or a <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/top-10-list/best-dressy-jumpsuits" target="_self">jumpsuit</a> can also work as long as they are a dressier cut and fabric.
Finally, don't forget that your accessories impact the final look and feel of your outfit. If your clothes are slightly on the casual side, a pair of showstopper heels and impressive earrings can make a big difference. Cocktail accessories include a variety of earrings, bracelets, necklaces, and more. Aim for elegant, high-quality pieces, and skip anything in overly casual materials like plastic or macrame.&nbsp;
<h3>Cocktail Attire for Men</h3>
For men, things are a little more straightforward. While a tuxedo is too formal, a <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/top-10-list/best-mens-casual-blazers-and-sports-coats" target="_self">standard dark suit</a> always works well. Something classic with a simple, tailored cut and understated tie and shirt can adapt to a variety of situations. If it's a more casual environment, you may be able to get away with a dress shirt and trousers, even though that's not technically cocktail wedding attire.
When you're dressing for a wedding, pay close attention to the details. Dress shoes and a nice belt can help take your outfit to the next level. If you want to look especially snazzy, you can also experiment with fun colors and patterns for your shirt and tie.&nbsp;
Now that you know all the basics of cocktail attire for a wedding, it's time to start shopping! For inspiration, check out these curated picks from Rank &amp; Style's fashion experts.

Curious about the name? "Moda Operandi" roughly translates to "mode of operating" or "way of doing something"—a fitting nod to how the platform has redefined luxury fashion shopping.
Based in New York, Moda Operandi employs over 400 people and serves thousands of customers across 125 countries. The idea for the brand came from co-founders Lauren Santo Domingo, a former Vogue editor, and Áslaug Magnúsdóttir, who envisioned a way for fashion lovers to preorder designer pieces directly after runway shows.
Their approach didn’t just close the gap between the runway and the consumer—it also helped solve one of the fashion industry’s biggest issues: waste. By allowing customers to preorder, Moda Operandi enables designers to produce pieces based on actual demand, reducing excess inventory and unnecessary markdowns.
<h2>Moda Operandi’s Luxury Selection</h2>
If you’re looking for fast fashion, this isn’t it. Moda Operandi’s platform showcases heirloom-quality pieces across women’s, men’s, fine jewelry, and home categories. These are timeless, collectable items designed to last—and they’re the kind of investment pieces you’ll want to pass down to future generations.
One of Moda Operandi’s strengths is its expert curation and unique partnerships. From bridal edits and fashion week collaborations to influencer and celebrity-backed capsules, the platform caters to shoppers with specific tastes and style goals.
Take, for example, the Moda Operandi For the Bride collection—a luxe, shoppable edit that covers everything from wedding dresses and accessories to the perfect Hermès lipstick for the big day. Or, check out the standout capsules that keep the site feeling fresh and exclusive, like the POSSE x Moda Operandi line, Dani Michelle and Stacey Singer MÉGA collection, and the buzzworthy Club Moda capsule, which launched with pieces from 40 top designers, including House of Aama, Rosie Assoulin, and Christopher Esber.
And of course, Moda Operandi delivers for those who love signature luxury labels.&nbsp;
Expect to find enduring favorites, like:
<ul>
<li>ALAÏA</li>
<li>Balenciaga</li>
<li>Bottega Veneta</li>
<li>Brandon Maxwell</li>
<li>Carolina Herrera</li>
<li>Chloé</li>

<li>Versace</li>
<li>Victoria Beckham</li>

</ul>
Don’t be misled by Moda Operandi’s trunk show roots—it’s far from a niche experience. The platform is built for full-on, head-to-toe luxury. Whether you’re curating a runway-worthy look or updating your everyday wardrobe with standout designer finds, you’ll have access to everything you need in one place. From statement dresses and elegant heels to covetable bags, fine jewelry, and chic accessories, Moda Operandi makes luxury shopping seamless and stylish.
<h2>Who Shops at Moda Operandi?</h2>
Moda Operandi’s shoppers are seasoned fashion lovers who know exactly what they want—and they’re ready to invest in pieces that make a statement. The customer base is more affluent than the average shopper, with a deep appreciation for luxury and exclusivity. These fashion enthusiasts aren’t just buying off-the-rack items—they’re building a personal, curated fashion collection that speaks to their unique style. For those seeking timeless, high-quality pieces, Moda Operandi is the go-to destination.
<h2>Is Moda Operandi Expensive?</h2>
Moda Operandi is all about investing in luxury—think of it as your personal fashion playground for collecting heirloom-quality pieces. As a high-end retailer, it offers premium designer brands, so prices can certainly reflect that exclusivity.
The items you'll find here aren’t your average off-the-rack selections. For instance, a dress from the Chloé trunk show could easily set you back five figures, while a Ferragamo coat might cost as much as a modest car. You’re shopping in the big leagues with Moda Operandi, where the prices match the prestige of the brands like Chanel, Valentino, and Givenchy.
That said, Moda Operandi isn’t just for those looking to splurge—it also offers some accessible options. We’ve seen exclusive collaborations like POSSE x Moda Operandi feature items priced as low as $70 to $90, and there are plenty of options in the $200 to $500 range for those looking to update their wardrobe without breaking the bank.
And here's a bonus: Keep an eye out for <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/deals/moda-operandi-promo-code" target="_self">Moda Operandi promo codes</a> to save on your next luxe purchase! While it’s not a discount retailer, there are still opportunities to snag some stylish steals.
<h2>Moda Operandi vs. Other Luxury Retailers</h2>
If Moda Operandi has a downside, it's the unpredictability of its collections. You'll also take chances on pricey preorders without knowing if a look "hits" for the season. We personally love the thrill of the catch. However, you may like some more predictable retailers with comparable brand access.
<h3>Net-a-Porter</h3>
Milan-based Net-a-Porter is a leading online luxury and fashion retailer offering access to Tom Ford, Balenciaga, The Row, Gucci, Dolce &amp; Gabbana, Versace, Burberry, and other lavish labels. Like Moda Operandi, Net-a-Porter lets you shop by collection. Net-a-Porter's Best-Seller edit is about as close as you get to Moda Operandi's consumer-led collections. There's also a New Season edit differentiating new looks from the rest of the ready-to-wear collection. For pricing, Net-a-Porter items generally cost the same as buying direct from a designer.
<h3>Farfetch</h3>
Since 2007, UK-based Farfetch has sold luxury clothing and beauty products from hundreds of designer brands and department stores around the world. Featured brands include Miu Miu, Gucci, Fendi, Prada, and Saint Laurent. A twist is that you can shop a preowned edit. We like this option for scoring authenticated vintage Birkin bags, Chanel flap bags, and designer watches. We also appreciate the fun collabs with ERDEM and Stadium Goods.
And just like Moda Operandi, you can snatch a <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/deals/farfetch-promo-code" target="_self">Farfetch promo code</a> to help you save on these high-end finds.
<h3>Saks Fifth Avenue</h3>
There's always a place in our heart for a Saks haul when the mood to window shop online hits. As the old guard of luxury retail, it's a timeless choice for getting safe looks from Chloé, Dolce &amp; Gabbana, Fendi, Givenchy, Gucci, Prada, Valentino, and more of the established designers on Moda Operandi. However, the bulk aspect of keeping Saks stocked means emerging designers don't often get chances for discovery.
Saks has a great personal shopping service that's similar to Moda Operandi's service. There's also the perk of in-store alterations if you live near a location. Of course, Moda Operandi and other brands can't touch Saks in the category of clearance sales.
<h2>Moda Operandi’s Impact on the Fashion Industry</h2>
You used to have to know someone to get this level of access. Moda Operandi's instant preorder platform is credited with speeding up the fashion cycle as we know it. Your shopping habits become data that's shared with designers to give a look the green light or put the brakes on certain styles. What's more, you're wearing looks much sooner after their debuts instead of waiting for them to show up on the racks at Saks or Bergdorf Goodman.
Moda Operandi is the first brand to truly initiate luxury curation in e-commerce. While no other brand does it at this scale, some have copied Moda Operandi's model of limited-edition collections and exclusive designer access. Moda Operandi was the first platform to realize the power in closing the gap between designer and shopper.
Far from reducing the exclusivity of a designer's pieces, the business model empowers designers to strengthen their collections by avoiding waste. Moda Operandi is also an amazing place for discovery for up-and-coming designers who can't afford the stakes of blindly producing their collections.
<h2>Is Moda Operandi Worth It?</h2>
Yes, it is! We consider this one of the best ways to buy luxury clothes online. Moda Operandi is the virtual trunk show you're waiting for! Aside from sitting with celebrities at the foot of the runway, it's your best bet for true designer pieces early in the season.
We’re obsessed with the carefully curated, high-end selection of ready-to-wear collections and exclusive collaborations that Moda Operandi offers. The limited-edition and exclusive pieces make shopping here feel like unwrapping a gift. Plus, it’s exciting to see so many emerging designers get the spotlight they deserve on this platform.
Finally, we love Moda Operandi's personalized shopping experience. They clearly want you to make informed, intentional shopping choices instead of dropping money on impulse buys.
Our verdict? Moda Operandi gives you a front-row seat to the runway, all from the comfort of your home. It lets you shop pieces straight off the runway, so you can be the first to rock the season’s hottest looks. If you’re ready to get ahead of the fashion curve, this is the place to be—just don’t expect outlet prices.

Get Looks the Moment They Hit the Runway With the Internet's Best Luxury Preorder Platform

Explore Moda Operandi: The Platform for Fashion Discovery

Choose comfortable, casual clothing for your passport photo that resembles what you may wear when traveling on a plane. Remember that your passport will be used to cross checkpoints and borders, and it's in your interest to look like your passport photo to speed up the process.
Uniforms and clothing that resemble a uniform, such as a formal suit or camouflage attire, are not allowed. However, you can still look nice in your passport photo while wearing casual clothes. Since only your top will be visible, consider opting for items like a solid sweater, a t-shirt, or athleisure wear.
If you want to look polished yet casual for your passport photo, consider brands like DKNY, Everlane, and Gap. You can find DKNY at department stores like Macy’s and Belk, and even save a few dollars using a <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/deals/macys-promo-code" target="_self"><ins>Macy’s coupon</ins></a>. This DKNY sweatshirt is the perfect blend of comfort and style, featuring subtle details like a ribbed texture. For more comfy sweatshirt options that are passport photo-ready, check out our <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/collections/fashionable-sweatshirts" target="_self"><ins>fashionable sweatshirts collection</ins></a>.&nbsp;

Choose Comfortable Clothing

It's best to avoid wearing strapless tops in your passport photo since it will be taken from the shoulders up. If you wear strapless clothing like tank tops or tube tops, you could end up looking exposed. Choose clothing that can accentuate your neck and shoulders and offer a reference point to frame your face. 
Clothing with collars or high necklines is a great option for this, and brands like J.Crew have a wide selection. Use a <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/deals/jcrew-promo-code" target="_self"><ins>J.Crew coupon</ins></a> to get the best deal if you're purchasing a new outfit to wear in your passport photo.
The slightly relaxed fit of this rolled-neck sweater from J.Crew keeps the look comfortable yet polished, while the high neckline helps frame your face and highlights your shoulders, perfect for a passport photo that stands the test of time. For more high neckline options, you can shop our <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/top-10-list/best-boyfriend-button-down-shirts" target="_self"><ins>button-down shirt</ins></a> and <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/top-10-list/best-statement-collar-blouses" target="_self"><ins>collared shirt collections</ins></a>.&nbsp;

Avoid Tank Tops and Tube Tops

To meet the passport photo dress code requirements, avoid busy patterns, and look for solid colors that will frame your face well against the white background. Since passport photos use bright lighting to clearly illuminate your face, opt for a color that won’t wash you out. If you are unsure of what color looks best on you, consider doing a personal color analysis online, or take some sample shots at home with your camera flash. 
In general, we recommend wearing darker colors in passport photos as it helps frame your face better against the white background. Additionally, consider choosing atemporal colors that won’t go out of style. Navy, black, grey, and brown are some of the most popular colors. Avoid wearing white so you don't blend into the background.
If you’re looking for a solid color option that’s both flattering and timeless, brands like Anthropologie, Everlane, and Madewell give you plenty of options to choose from. You can get a <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/deals/anthropologie-promo-code" target="_self"><ins>$20 Anthropologie coupon</ins></a> by signing up for their newsletter, and Everlane and Madewell have similar discounts available. The Anthropologie knit pullover we’ve selected in a rich green color is a great passport photo choice; it’s vibrant yet subdued enough to avoid overpowering your face in the photo. It also comes in gray for a more subtle option.&nbsp;

Opt for Solid Colors and Avoid Patterns

Wear a simple hairstyle and minimal, natural-looking makeup that won’t be distracting in your photo. Choose a style that best represents you and what you usually wear while traveling. There are plenty of options for neutral hairstyling that still allow you to get creative and take an elevated passport photo. 
Pro tip: Opt for styles that elongate your neck and frame your face well. Half-up, half-down styles work great for this, or wearing your hair up but leaving some side pieces down in front of your ears to frame your face. 
Choose a natural makeup look that compliments your facial features. For example, avoid over-lining your eyes or filing in heavy eyebrows. Choose natural colors for lipstick, go easy on foundation and blush, and avoid contouring. A skin tint, like this Summer Friday’s one from Sephora, will provide sheer-to-light coverage and a natural finish, perfect for your passport photo. If you haven’t already, sign up for Sephora text alerts and receive a <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/deals/sephora-promo-code" target="_self"><ins>Sephora promo code</ins></a> for 10% off your purchase.
If you are still unsure of how to style your hair and makeup for your passport photo, it can help to imagine getting off of an 11-hour plane ride and what you may look like when passing through immigration checkpoints. The more you look like your passport photo, the quicker you will be able to pass through security checkpoints and border controls.

Choose Simple Hair and Makeup Styles	

Jewelry can help elevate your passport photo, but we recommend avoiding anything too big or bold that can distract from your face. 
Consider simple, but elegant, stud earrings and a light necklace. Pearls or diamonds, even artificial ones, are a great way to level up your passport photo for elegance and timelessness and still meet the US government’s official requirements. 
Nordstrom, Mejuri, and Lulu’s are all great choices for <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/top-10-list/best-everyday-earrings" target="_self"><ins>everyday earrings</ins></a>. We love these tiny gold hoops from Lulu’s to dress up your passport photo look, and they’re extra affordable using a <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/deals/lulus-promo-code" target="_self"><ins>Lulu’s promo code</ins></a>.&nbsp;

Elevate Your Look With Simple Jewelry

You can find all of the official US government requirements for passport photos at <a href="https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/passports/how-apply/photos.html" target="_self"><ins>travel.state.gov</ins></a>, including information on size and resolution. However, here is a summary of the official requirements relating to your appearance in your passport photo.&nbsp;
<h3>Shadows and Lighting: </h3>
The photo should clearly show your face and skin tone and should not contain shadows. Aim for bright, direct lighting that adequately shows your facial features. 
<h3>Digital Adaptations: </h3>
You cannot use digital services or software to edit or adapt your photo. This includes cropping, editing, AI manipulation, etc. For example, you cannot use your iPhone’s portrait mode to remove the background. 
<h3>Facial Expressions and Poses:</h3>
Contrary to popular belief, you can smile in your passport photo. You must use a “neutral facial expression”, so a big toothy grin won't be accepted but a slight smile with your mouth closed is totally fine. Make sure to look squarely at the camera, keep your eyes open, and keep your head straight. Tilting your head or closing your eyes is not allowed. 
<h3>What You Cannot Wear in a Passport Photo:</h3>
<ul>
<li>Head coverings and hats</li>
<li>Uniforms or clothes that look like uniforms</li>
<li>Camouflage</li>
<li>Headphones or wireless devices</li>
<li>Masks </li>
<li>Glasses of any type </li>
</ul>
<h4>Exceptions: </h4>
If you wear head coverings for medical or religious reasons you can submit a signed declaration from a doctor or a declaration of your religion stating that you wear the head covering in public on a daily basis.
If you wear glasses for medical reasons, you can include a signed declaration from your doctor for exemption. However, if you wear them in your passport picture you must wear them when crossing borders. If you have glasses you only wear occasionally, like for reading, keep them out of your photo.
<h2>Passport Picture Dress Code FAQ</h2>
<h3>What is the best color to wear for a passport photo?</h3>
The best color to wear for a passport photo is navy, black, or a dark grey. Passport photos are taken against a white background, so dark colors like these keep you from blending in. Any dark color will do, so if you prefer a deep purple or green you’re in the clear. Just avoid light colors like white, cream, light pink or light grey.
<h3>Do I have to wear my hair down for a passport photo?</h3>
No, you don’t have to wear your hair down in your passport picture as long as the style you choose keeps your face shape, eyes, and eyebrows visible. A ponytail or bun is acceptable, but for the most flattering picture we recommend leaving some face-framing pieces free. A half-up do is a nice option that pulls the hair back from your face but leaves some loose around your shoulders for framing.
<h3>Can I smile in my passport picture?</h3>
Yes, you can smile in your passport photo! You can have a slight smile with a closed mouth and it will meet the “neutral face expression” requirement. Don’t show your teeth, and don’t smile so big that you scrunch up your nose or cheeks. 
<h3>Can I take my own passport photo at home?</h3>
Yes, you can take your own passport picture at home, but it will need to meet certain requirements to be accepted. It can’t be a selfie, you need to have someone else take it or use a tripod. You must use a plain white background with no objects visible. The camera should be at eye level with you facing straight at it, no head tilt or angles. And you need to have good lighting that doesn’t cause shadows or wash you out. All of the previously mentioned restrictions still apply.
<h3>Where can I get my passport picture taken?</h3>
If you decide to leave it to the professionals instead of taking your own passport photo, there are plenty of places that will take it for you. Walgreens, CVS, Staples, and UPS stores are all options you can find in most areas. You can also get it done at your local post office.

6 Tips for a Timeless Headshot

What to Wear for a Passport Photo

We love how chiffon allows you to achieve a playful, breezy look while still staying within black-tie guidelines. It’s especially perfect for keeping cool at summer weddings. The Amazing Evening Black Tiered Maxi Dress from Lulu’s is a favorite of ours—the deep-V neckline is made for a strand of mid-sized pearls, and the tiered skirt pairs beautifully with satin or velvet chunky ankle-strap platform shoes. This style, along with other <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/collections/best-sellers-lulus" target="_self"><ins>Lulu’s best-sellers</ins></a>, is a great deal when paired with a <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/deals/lulus-promo-code" target="_self"><ins>Lulu’s promo code</ins></a> at checkout.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Chiffon enthusiasts will also appreciate our guide to easy-to-wear <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/collections/anthropologie-wedding-guest-dresses" target="_self"><ins>Anthropologie wedding guest dresses</ins></a>.&nbsp;

Floor-Length Chiffon Gown

Lace is one of the best ways to pull off a structured look without dragging around a heavy dress. To keep the look as cool as the fabric, we recommend bare shoulders or cap sleeves. For a black-tie wedding guest dress that's gorgeous enough for the red carpet, we adore the XSCAPE Women's Off-The-Shoulder Lace Gown from Macy’s in stunning mulberry. A matte clutch and jewel-tone drop earrings are enough to finish the look. Plus, you can save on the whole ensemble by using a <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/deals/macys-promo-code" target="_self"><ins>Macy's promo code</ins></a> at checkout.&nbsp;

All-Over Lace Gown

If standard black-tie gowns feel a little too "prom" for your taste, pivot to a deconstructed look. Look for a draped or off-the-shoulder fit that doesn't veer you into the pageant look of a cold-shoulder gown. You can see exactly what we mean with the chic, high-fashion SEV Off-The-Shoulder Draped Stretch-Cotton Maxi from Moda Operandi. Made in Spain, this floor-grazing style is cut from a stretchy cotton-blend that cascades over the body from an eye-catching off-the-shoulder neckline. To style this, opt for something like large diamond studs and chunky gold bangles alongside a gold clutch. Try a <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/deals/moda-operandi-promo-code" target="_self"><ins>Moda Operandi promo code</ins></a> to get the best price on this designer piece.

Statement Neckline Gown

If you want to push the boundaries of how playful you can go with black tie, we love a shoulder ruffle. While tricky to pull off, achieve perfection with this look by the AQUA One Shoulder Ruffle Crepe Gown in tasteful navy. The look says "royal wedding" by dressing up an asymmetrical neckline and one-shoulder silhouette with a ruffle overlay at the right shoulder. We also love the slightly cinched look of the A-line skirt with a pleated front. While airy, the dress comes lined to prevent a see-through controversy. Don’t forget to use a <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/deals/bloomingdales-promo-code" target="_self"><ins>Bloomingdale's promo code</ins></a> for extra savings on your purchase.

Ruffled Crepe Gown

Is it "challenge accepted" when it comes to finding the fanciest black-tie gown for a wedding? Show them you were born to play the role of posh wedding guest by diving straight into lace embellishments and careful detailing. The Eliza J Scalloped-Edge Lace Gown uses a fluted skirt, cap sleeves, scalloped edges with eyelash fringe, and all-lace back to show the bride and groom you understood the assignment. We love the daylight created by the unfinished hem for showing off velvet platform heels.

High-End Detailing

What is black-tie attire? Learn what's in, what's out, and how to avoid a fashion faux pas that earns you some side-eye from the happy couple.
<h2>What Is Considered Black-Tie Attire?</h2>
Black tie for women essentially means a <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/top-10-list/best-black-tie-dresses" target="_self">formal, floor-length dress</a>, while men are expected to wear a full tuxedo. You're already 90% there just by showing up dressed appropriately. Think of a black-tie wedding as being more like dressing for the Oscars than a regular wedding—it's a more formal affair, like the difference between the Oscars and the MTV Video Music Awards.
There's some fluidity when selecting a black-tie wedding guest dress. While you want it to reach the floor, your formal gown can either be a full-on ball gown or more streamlined and subdued sheath dress. Black-tie dress materials include chiffon, velvet, silk charmeuse, and lace. Detailing, embroidery, and crystals are all welcome.
When done right, black tie has tasteful accessories. This is not the place to pull off Converse sneakers and tulle. Think formal dress with stiletto heels, a satin clutch, and some lovely, tasteful costume jewelry. Avoid over-the-top statement jewelry. The full aesthetic should be neat, polished, and beautiful without screaming for attention. Tailoring to create a perfect fit is highly recommended.
<h3>What Is Not Considered Black-Tie Attire?</h3>
It's just as important to know what isn't approved for black tie. While color play is fine, don't go for flashy prints or neons. Stick to black, burgundy, midnight blue, or a deep forest green. Just stay away from ivories or silvers that could look white at first glance! Fabrics should be delicate. Avoid anything made of corduroy, denim, or wool. While it's fine to show shoulders and neckline, cutouts in the bodice are big no-nos.
The biggest misconception about black tie is that you're fine as long as you wear dark colors that don't make you stand out. Black tie isn't just about "passing." It's about creating a polished ensemble where every piece fits a style rule. Footwear is what gets most men. Black patent leather is the gold standard for shoes. Yes, the bride, the groom, and everyone else will notice if you're trying to swap in boat shoes or sneakers.
For women, the biggest thing that can break a black-tie look is going with color that's too bright. The goal is a perfect balance between striking and subdued. You want the quality of a dress's structure and fit to do the talking instead of its color. That's why a good fit with tailoring is essential!
You can also break black tie with wrinkled fabrics, crumpled accessories, or hair that doesn't match the dress theme. The #1 way to stick out like a sore thumb at a black-tie wedding is wearing a short or revealing dress. Second place is over-the-top or "prop" accessories.
<h3>Black-Tie Wedding Attire for Women</h3>
What is black tie attire for a woman? You'll be good with any dress with a floor-length silhouette in a soft material with a decent amount of structure. Just avoid maxi dresses that are more "flow" than structure. Solid silhouettes we love for black-tie events include column, trumpet, A-line, ball gown, fit and flare, and sheath. Handle high-low and slip dresses with care to avoid going too far from tradition.
Any subdued color is fine. Black is 100% acceptable as a wedding color for guests. Our only caveat is that we'd avoid black if there's any contention over the big day because it could be misconstrued as a sign of mourning. It's one of the reasons why mothers of the groom should avoid black dresses at all costs!
<h3>Black-Tie Wedding Attire for Men</h3>
Do a classic tuxedo with or without tails. If the invite says black-tie optional, you may get away with a regular dark suit if it's gorgeously tailored. However, the dress shoes and tie must be impeccable.&nbsp;
Here's everything you need to knock out the traditional black-tie look that the couple definitely had in mind when they wrote up the invitation:
<ul>
<li>• Satin-lapel dinner jacket</li>
<li>• Pants with a satin stripe going down each leg</li>
<li>• Formal white button-down shirt with French cuffs</li>
<li>• Self-tied black bow tie</li>
<li>• Oxford loafers</li>
<li>• Black cashmere socks with no ankle reveal</li>
<li>• Silk pocket square</li>
<li>• Cufflinks</li>
</ul>
You'll impress guests with your fashion etiquette by adding suspenders. However, they aren't required.
<h3>What Does Black Tie Optional Mean?</h3>
You may have caught that we mentioned black tie optional in the section above. Your host is saying that you have some leeway if you don't want to wear a full tux or evening gown. However, it's not a pass to wear whatever you want. If black tie is truly too overwhelming, stay in bounds with a dark suit with a tie or <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/top-10-list/best-long-sleeve-cocktail-dresses" target="_self">conservative cocktail dress</a>. All of the same rules for colors and accessories apply.
<h3>Tips for Achieving an Affordable Black-Tie Look</h3>
Black-tie dresses can look like a million bucks without wrecking your budget. If you're shopping on a dime, overcompensate with amazing hair, makeup, and hygiene. That goes for men and women. The work of beard grooming, eyebrow sculpting, at-home teeth whitening, and getting your hair done really shows up once you're all dressed up!
Lost on where to focus? With black tie covering so much, fabric is the #1 detail. Splurge on velvet, satin, silk, or imitation silk for a good first impression. Fit also matters. Nothing makes it seem like amateur hour at the black-tie event like a baggy fit for men. For women, it's a dance of being fitted without suffocating.
<h4>Where to Save vs. Where to Splurge</h4>
If you need to do black tie even though you usually shop for red-tag markdowns, these foolproof tips for looking like old money will do:
<ul>
<li>• Accessories (save): The groom's aunt, cousin, or dogwalker who is sitting next to you at dinner isn't going to get close enough to look for designer labels. Shop for timeless and <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/top-10-list/best-clutch-handbags" target="_self">affordable clutches</a>, shawls, imitation silk scarves, and glasses that give off subtle hints of prestige.</li>
<li>• Jewelry (save or splurge): A black-tie invitation is a great excuse to finally invest in some luxury jewelry. Go for the <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/top-10-list/best-diamond-jewelry-under-500" target="_self">diamond or ruby studs</a> or sapphire pendant you've been dreaming of! Of course, very understated costume jewelry adds the hints of glitter you need.</li>
<li>• Shoes (save): You're probably going to wear them out on the dance floor anyway. Go for an <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/top-10-list/best-comfortable-party-heels" target="_self">affordable, polished pair</a> that is comfortable.&nbsp;</li>
<li>• Splurge-worthy elements: Pay extra to tailor your dress or tuxedo. After all, you'll now have an amazing go-to piece for the next wedding, work event, or gala. By the way, we're pretty sure that some of the picks in our guide to <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/collections/wedding-guest-dresses-on-amazon" target="_self">wedding guest dresses on Amazon</a> could moonlight as couture gowns with the right tailor.</li>
</ul>
Don't stress if getting a formal invite threw you for a loop! Our guide to <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/collections/cute-affordable-wedding-guest-dresses" target="_self">affordable wedding guest dresses</a> will get you all gussied up for under $250.

How to Shine at a Black-Tie Wedding—Plus 5 Rule-Following Gowns to Scoop Up

What Is Black-Tie Attire for Weddings?

Hello Molly is an Australian fashion brand specializing in on-trend looks without the splurge. While the brand does release true staple pieces, its allure is its ability to let shoppers grab the hot trends of the moment. The <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/collections/hello-molly-best-sellers" target="_self">Hello Molly collection</a> offers about 100 new releases per week.
Need to grab something for a big formal event or spring break with friends? Shoppers around the world have come to count on Hello Molly for vacation looks and party clothes that are fun to wear. While Hello Molly has been popular for more than a decade, many fashion lovers are just discovering the brand now after seeing looks splashed across social media.&nbsp;
Rank &amp; Style has the inside scoop on the Hello Molly aesthetic, what's in its collections, how much you'll pay, and everything else you need to know to get up to speed.
<h2>The Story Behind Hello Molly</h2>
Based in Sydney, Hello Molly launched online in 2012 with a limited collection. The brand steadily picked up speed until launching its luxe in-house "occasionwear" collection in 2017. From there, Hello Molly became a go-to brand for formal, birthday, and graduation outfits.&nbsp;
While this is a brand from the other side of the world, American shoppers can get their looks fast because Hello Molly has distribution centers in the United States.
Most shoppers have discovered Hello Molly through its strong social media presence. Fashion-hungry influencers love to show off the brand's affordable, breezy pieces when streaming their online shopping hauls. For the average shopper who feels that many popular fashion retailers have gotten stale, Hello Molly keeps things exciting with its constant flow of new releases that are on top of current fashion trends.
<h2>The Hello Molly Aesthetic: Trend-Driven Designs</h2>
Hello Molly's tagline is "Wear it. Love it. Own it." In a fashion landscape where most shoppers can barely tell brands apart anymore, Hello Molly offers a vibrant, optimistic take on fashion with looks that emphasize confidence and self-expression.&nbsp;
Shoppers enjoy Hello Molly because the brand promotes the joy of wearing fashionable clothing without spending hundreds on every piece. The aesthetic thread that runs through the entire collection is full of feminine, trendy, and youthful styles with a playful edge.
Of course, the thing that Hello Molly does best is creating on-trend fashion that allow shoppers to show off the same looks that their favorite influencers are wearing. Hello Molly gets there first when it comes to giving access to this season's emerging party dresses and street-style essentials. More than copycat pieces, the dresses, rompers, and shirts that define this brand look and feel substantial.
Hello Molly shines as a brand that's unapologetic about bringing back flirty, feminine looks. While many designers have opted for streamlined, safer looks in recent years, Hello Molly's collections have a cinematic quality with help from romantic elements that include abundant lace detailing, puff sleeves, and feminine silhouettes that blend contoured lines with flowing, whimsical elements. Shoppers love the polished looks with the right amount of head-in-the-clouds details.
If you haven't browsed the full collection, it can be easy to think that Hello Molly sells nothing but little <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/top-10-list/best-summer-dresses-under-100" target="_self">party dresses</a>. However, plenty of Hello Molly shoppers swear by their casual everyday looks and office-appropriate pieces that carry over on-trend touches without being too "out there" for real life. For example, you'll find tons of lightweight blouses that you can pair with practical trousers and flats for a neat, feminine office look.
The real fun comes when you're looking for dresses or outfits for special occasions or vacations. We love the <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/collections/vacation-worthy-dresses" target="_self">laid-back flowy dresses</a> that pack easily into suitcases. Many of the looks in the current collection are great for layering or mixing and matching when you want more versatility with fewer pieces.
<h2>Who Shops at Hello Molly?</h2>
Hello Molly is not a brand that does gatekeeping. You can find some gems to add a little whisper of trendiness regardless of which way your personal style leans. With that said, Hello Molly is primarily a brand for women ages 18 to 30 who love to feel feminine and beautiful in clothes that are affordable, trendy, stylish, and fun to wear.
The type of shopper who will get the most from Hello Molly is the one who loves getting inspiration for their closet from social media. If you learned how to dress from Instagram and TikTok, Hello Molly makes it easy to recreate <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/collections/trending-tiktok" target="_self">popular looks</a> you've seen piece by piece.
You'll have fun shopping with Hello Molly if you easily get bored with clothes. With such reasonable prices, you can update your wardrobe with the latest seasonal looks and trends without getting nervous about how much you're spending to keep up.
Hello Molly also caters to occasion shoppers. It's a lifesaver when you want a dress to have a special moment in. Skip the mall to shop from a huge online collection full of formal dresses, party dresses, and trendy vacation outfits when you need a look for a <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/collections/cute-affordable-wedding-guest-dresses" target="_self">wedding</a>, party, or big trip where you'll be going out every night.
One thing that unites everyone who loves Hello Molly is a desire to save money. You don't pay the "trend" premium that you usually see with brands that focus on selling the latest looks. A lot of the looks you'll see in this online store are identical to pieces that other retailers sell at dramatically marked-up prices. You can get beautiful, high-quality looks at prices that seem fair.
<h2>What Can I Find at Hello Molly?</h2>
Hello Molly is famous for its statement dresses. From glossy slip dresses to frilly festival rompers, there's no better place online to look for those cute "look at me" pieces every woman wants to wear to special occasions. The brand is also famous for its influencer collaborations. Everyone loves twirling or posing in front of the camera in these fun pieces.&nbsp;
Thinking about shopping? Let's break down the main categories you'll see as you browse the collection.
<h3>Dresses</h3>
Dresses are everything at Hello Molly. You can save a ton by getting a glamorous evening gown or party dress here. We're also obsessed with the cute sundresses with the most flattering cuts and adorable floral patterns. The brand's understanding of how to do cuts and lines means that you won't be swimming in dresses with too many layers of fabrics. There are also many sleeker, more understated looks that are perfect for parties or club nights.
<h3>Tops</h3>
From posh blouses that you can wear to the office to trendy crop tops with fun patterns, Hello Molly offers tops in tons of different cuts and fabrics. If you're looking for clean lines, we recommend shopping the bodysuit collection to get looks that you see on big-name influencers for much less compared to what their brand-name threads are selling for. Besides, we especially love the clean aesthetic and muted colors of the sweaters and knitwear.
<h3>Bottoms</h3>
Hello Molly has some great tailored-look pants that you can either wear alone or buy as part of a crop-top set. With the tops in the collection being so tailored, we appreciate the way Hello Molly pulls off more flowy, relaxed-fit pants to create the right balance when you're putting outfits together. For skirts, you can take your pick from mini, midi, maxi, and more.
<h3>Outerwear</h3>
In the spirit of layering, Hello Molly sells some great jackets, coats, and cardigans that help you pull everything together.
<h3>Swimwear</h3>
There's no brand that does brightly colored bikinis and one-piece bathing suits better. Shop every color of the rainbow for your upcoming poolside adventures. The beach cover-ups are also gorgeous.
<h3>Accessories</h3>
You'll feel like a kid in a candy store as you shop Hello Molly's collection of trendy jewelry, bags, shoes, and hats.
<h3>Jumpsuits and Rompers</h3>
Remember everything we said about Hello Molly's dresses? From business-ready looks to vacation styles, all the glamour and whimsy transfer over to these one-piece looks.
<h3>Lingerie &amp; Sleepwear</h3>
Enjoy dreamy lingerie and pajamas that are lightweight to pack for vacation.
<h2>Is Hello Molly Expensive?</h2>
As a mid-range brand, Hello Molly doesn't sell looks for a buck like some of the notoriously cheap brands out there. However, with a <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/deals/hello-molly-discount-code" target="_self">Hello Molly discount code</a>, you can enjoy even greater savings on their already reasonably priced styles.
Here's what you can expect to pay by category:

<li>• Tops: $30 to $60</li>

<h2>If You Love These Brands, You’ll Love Hello Molly</h2>
If you're already a fan of high-quality, mid-range brands that offer the latest trends, Hello Molly is going to feel familiar.&nbsp;
Here are the brands that are most similar:
<ul>
<li>• Lulu’s: Hello Molly's fun, feminine dresses match the energy of the flowery looks that made Lulu's popular, at a slightly lower price point. For an even better deal on chic styles, be sure to check for a <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/deals/lulus-promo-code" target="_self">Lulu's promo code</a> before your next purchase.</li>
<li>• Revolve: Hello Molly has club-inspired and vacation-ready looks that are similar to those at Revolve, at a slightly lower price point.</li>
<li>• Princess Polly: Those who love shopping from Princess Polly's huge collection will get a similar thrill when converting to Hello Molly. Price points are similar. However, we think Hello Molly does a better job with prints.</li>
<li>• Anthropologie: While Hello Molly has a much larger collection and lower price points, hints of the gorgeous prints that helped to create that classic high-end Anthropologie aesthetic are definitely present in the brand's dresses. For extra savings on similar styles, keep an eye out for an <a href="https://www.rankandstyle.com/deals/anthropologie-promo-code" target="_self">Anthropologie promo code</a> before you check out.&nbsp;</li>
<li>• ASOS: If ASOS is a sweet spot for you in terms of quality, selection and pricing, this brand is the closest match to Hello Molly with all categories considered.</li>
</ul>
<h2>What Sets Hello Molly Apart</h2>
Hello Molly is a unicorn brand that can push out 100 new releases every week while keeping the focus on high-quality pieces you'll want to keep. Buyers have been coming back time after time since 2012 because they can feel the difference in the high-quality materials and thoughtful detailing. Hello Molly's signature is trend-driven designs at affordable prices. Unlike brands that sell cookie-cutter looks that you'll see repeated on different websites, Hello Molly has exclusive collections you can't find anywhere else.
<h2>Is Hello Molly Fast Fashion?</h2>
As a brand that produces a high volume of new styles at lower price points, Hello Molly falls under the fast fashion umbrella. The brand's popularity stems from its ability to produce current trends and keep up with consumer demand. However, Hello Molly's high-quality materials, exclusive designs, and staple pieces all prevent it from being a wear-it-once brand.
