Welp, you got a little of the good stuff out of your rocks glass and onto your shirt. Do what you can, and cover up what you can't; you have things to do (see: drink).

No matter what you're about to do, you have every right to remain at peak comfort; whether you're wearing tailored sweats to the office or polishing off your fourth glass of bourbon.

Sure he didn't make the big catch at the state high school footbal championship 30 years ago, and yes, you may have some questionable outfits in your past. It's healthy to remember your past to prevent future mistakes, like the time you thought you could pull off square-toed shoes ironically.

Now go ahead and try to rock that leggings-under-shorts look, or wear that Hood By Air sweatshirt you thought was too bold to rock around the family. Liquid confidence can do the trick if you're on the fence about trying out a new trend.

Whether you're putting on another sweater or sliding deeper into your alcohol blanket, another layer of warmth is always acceptable.

We know you're not going to give up shooting #ootd and #wiwt shots for your Instagram, maybe your drunk uncle's tirades against “all these social medias” should be a reminder that the general public doesn't need to see your outfit 24/7, 365.

As Kanye said, “Can't Tell Me Nothing.” Style isn't just about the clothes, it's about the attitude. What better way to pull off fye gear than act like you forgot about it as soon as you threw it on your body?
