Jacket - A lightweight jacket that can be shoved in your bag. Rain is predicted, so layers are a must.
Tee - A t-shirt from your startup or some other cool tech event you attended.
Jeans - These silver jeans are a step up from the normal blues.
Flats - I'll rotate between flats and sneakers during the event. Always, always bring a different pair of shoes for each day of any conference. Your feet will thank you.
Bag - Waxed canvas messenger from Brooklyn Industries. Plenty of room for business cards, camera, smart phone and schwag picked up along the way.
Add some heavy frame glasses and a swish of hot pink lip gloss to complete the look. If you're headed to SXSW Interactive - shoot me an email. I would love to hang out between sessions!
I was at sxswi last year, I felt most comfortable in jeans and shirts that were more on the side of dressy casual. You meet so many people and I liked that I felt I was putting on a bit of a better image and standing out from the folks in t-shirts handing out flyers for their company on the corner. Casual sneakers and Camper flats were perfect.
ReplyDeletegreat outfit!
ReplyDeleteI exhibited at SxSWi 2007-2009. It's fun, but exhausting. Make sure you bring an extra pair of flats for walking--you'll be doing a lot of that every evening. Liquid bandaids for blisters. And lots of Tylenol/Advil/hangover remedies.
