What does your bookshelf say about your style?
And what does your style reveal about the stories you’re drawn to?

Join Lit Society for Well-Read/Best Dressed: A Literary Salon—an evening exploring the intersection of fashion, taste, and the books that shape us, hosted by Lit Club NYC's Kelly Chervin.

Set within the intimate, design-forward atmosphere of Temple Bar, this is not simply a conversation about style. It’s an experience that asks how we curate ourselves—through what we read, what we wear, and how we choose to be seen.

Through conversation with industry insiders and interactive exercises, we’ll explore personal style as a form of storytelling—one that moves between literature and fashion, influence and instinct, identity and expression.

This is an evening for those who believe that taste is never accidental—and that what you love is always saying something about who you are.
