JACKIE 60 / ARCHIVES / DRESSCODES


Jackie Likes Dress Codes, enough to have two every week: the Classic Code, which lists always-approved staples and obvious no-nos, and the weekly dress code, which is thematically correct and a great way for the Jackie public to participate in our everchanging themes.

The Classic Code, which hangs at the front door, was inspired by the original Mine Shaft dress code (which hung at the entrance to the legendary seventies Meat Market gay sex club.) The Weekly Code appears on our invitations, a fashion interpretation of the theme that helps guide our flock when dressing for the evening to come.
