This is literally fashion level 400. It’s calculus for clothes. I love it. I’m not sure I 100% am following but I love it. Now I want to see the formulas in action.

This is amazing. Please comment on Edinburgh!. I suggest [2+3] +4+1 ( and absolutely no tartan unless you're going to a Hogmanay or Burns night party.)

just booked a last minute work trip to wellington NZ and have been trying to figure out what to pack, so this article is very timely and will hopefully make packing easier!

Great - just make sure you use the Melbourne formula rather than the Auckland one as Wellington is to Auckland what Melbourne is to Sydney!This is awesome Amy!! ♥️

Hi Amy - my Tibi pieces are seeing me through this Thailand trip yet again! Bangkok is actually quite easy and they never fail, but we've been touring northern Tahliand on a motorbike and travelling very light as you can imagine with 2 paniers. I packed the slip dress, the cami, 2 sleeveless flip tops and they have been perfect - I mix with shorts and light balloon pants and they elevate me from biker lady that's for sure - was even telling my husband that - he's always hearing how good Tibii is for every eventuality! Greetings from the tropics xx

Is Vancouver going to be the same as Seattle? I split my time between London and the mountains in British Columbia and the Seattle / London seem spot on to me!

I think vancouver has more “urban city vibes” than Seattle - it has more Hong Kong feelign to me - [1+2]+3 and a touch of 4

Ok, I have not been to those cities - but I’ll ask around to my team members from India - they’re perspective - and then I’ll find out from other CPers who’ve a “visitors” persepctve. I’VE NEVER BEEN TO MADRID _ so sad!!!

I would say Madrid is [2 4] 3 with a raised 1. Lots of skirts and embracing of silhouette trends (they loved mom jeans for a while, and went in hard for oversized blazers). Think Spanish but make it Chicago.

I think Substackers and CP-ers, Asta Gill and Usha Joy could help!! (wish we could tag on here). I'm headed there this month and was just looking at some of Usha's posts for inspo: https://ushajoy.substack.com/p/how-do-i-love-tibi-slip-skirts

Wow, you’ve travelled! Thanks for doing the heavy lifting. Interesting that London shares the same Tibi Colour Wheel code [2+1]+4+3 as Atlanta, Georgia. We definitely wear a ton of mostly Ring 1 (& 2) here in London, though the vibe feels quite different from Atlanta.

Yes - but it’s about how a CP dresses to feel at ease - in Atlanta the color is definitely there - in a more intrinsic way - like many people wearing it truly LIVE in color. In london, you have people wearing color in patterns and a more whimsical way - London runway looks very different than PFW in that respect. So both have “color” - and having it in the bag feels like you’re part of moment but not becoming a trope and losing yourself (if I am in atlanta) and in London I get to play in to the vibe in a fashion way..
