"Best $2k I Ever Spent!" What You're Secretly Accomplishing At A Pool Party

6. Keeping It Casual

This is the part where we'd be hypocritical to not at least mention that many nightclub-sponsored pool parties, including the Drai's party in these photographs, does in fact purport to have an "upscale pool attire" dress code. But we're pretty sure this just means you can't show up in a Summertramp outfit, which, although lame, still leaves plenty of room to wear whatever the hell you want. The point is, if you've spent more than 5 minutes selecting your outfit for the pool party, you're wasting time, because the point isn't to make yourself the center of attention. The point is to relax while wearing an outfit that can go in a pool. That's it. And that, in turn, is supposed to reduce your stress levels and allow you to not think about yourself so much, you egomaniac.
