Just because you’re partaking in a celebration of the dead does not mean your sense of style should die too. Au contraire!
In fact it became rapidly clear that the Dia de los Muertos celebration in San Francisco’s Mission district is the perfect occasion for a tailored tux and skull mask (you know, that one you just happen to have laying around?). Not only did the whole experience smell incredible – incense, especially the church smelling kind, is basically the same as Cire Trudon’s Spiritus Sancti candle – it also reminded me of a masquerade ball (think Stanley Kubrick’s Eyes Wide Shut, only way less naked). I even managed to spot a varsity-inspired look which, as you know, is basically all I’m wearing these days.
