How to dress for a party? This question tormented every woman at least once in her life. Even if the girl is not a regular in fashionable nightclubs, cannot boast of a rampant lifestyle, and generally rarely attends public events, she had to go to parties. It could be a corporate party, dinner on the occasion of the engagement of a friend or sister, the birthday of a loved one or work colleague.
It is only natural that the less a woman has experience of attending such celebrations, the more acute is the question for her of choosing a dress. Therefore, we will try to figure out what to wear to the party for a woman to look stylish and elegant. Further in the article, readers will be able to find the answer to this question, as well as learn how to look appropriate at a variety of events.
Briefly about the main thing: how to dress for a party?
Of course, the evening outfit should be beautiful. This is not casual wear, not a business style, and, of course, not so popular casual and sport nowadays. Even if things are bought in expensive and branded boutiques, and tags of eminent designers flaunt them, they do not always fit the format of an evening look.
The perfect dress for the party is a classic model just above the knee, the so-called cocktail. Moreover, it does not have to be “small and black”, there is a huge number of dresses that fit the category of cocktail, but completely different and not similar to each other. They differ in color, texture, finish and cut. How to dress for a party depends on many factors:
- external data of the girl;
- event status;
- Invited public
- meeting places.
By the way, most stylists agree that you should not spend money and buy a terribly expensive thing for one publication. It is better to buy one dress for a party, which can later be replayed and worn again, transforming it with the help of accessories: a scarf, wrap, necklace or belt.
Dress code for theme parties
Whatever the theme of the party, girls should always remember the main thing - their elegance and femininity are in their hands. You should not turn a holiday into a masquerade using ridiculous attributes, even if it takes place under the stamp of a costume event. An elegant and even a little modest dress with a mask will turn the girl into a mysterious stranger and will be much more appropriate than a catchy outfit of a woman-cat or a playful bunny.
However, you can play "dressing rooms" if the evening has a specific theme. For example, if you do not know what to wear at a party in the style of style, you need to study the fashion of 40-60 years of the last century. Girls at that time dressed very unusual - in favor were fluffy skirts to the knee, high gloves, beautiful blouses, pumps, neat hairstyles and red lips. Such a look will suit any beauty, so reincarnating as Elvis Presley’s girlfriend for at least one evening is not only possible but necessary.
Also often young fashionistas have to puzzle over the question of how to dress for a gangster style party. In this case, digging into history will have even deeper than with dudes. In the days of Al Capone, burlesque was a fashion show with slightly erotic motifs, which is why women's outfits were luxurious, but not without explicit sexuality.
Club party
Perhaps the easiest way to choose an outfit for a club and a disco. The first rule that girls need to remember is that clothes and shoes should correspond to the degree of their activity on the dance floor. Those who prefer to just sit at a table and chat with girlfriends or flirt with gentlemen can shoe high-heeled shoes and wear bold mini-dresses. At the same time, the more sparkle will be on a girl, the better, because where else, if not in a club, you can go in a dress embroidered with sequins or rhinestones.
For beauties who prefer active leisure with dancing until the morning, it is better to keep their feet and put on more comfortable shoes or light shoes with low heels or original ballet shoes. You can dress differently. Jeans with an extended T-shirt, a comfortable dress, and an unusual jumpsuit will be appropriate. Taboo in most clubs is frankly sportswear, office style and long dresses on the floor.
But what to wear at a club party if you don’t have time to change after work? To give the costume a bit of shocking, you can complement the everyday look with bright accents, for example, large earrings with stones or a shiny belt and high-heeled shoes.
Cocktail party
Sometimes you have to attend parties with a strict framework - for example, exhibitions, charity evenings, auctions, etc. Their format implies a calm, measured pastime. Guests at such events are always subject to a conservative dress code. Choosing a dress for such a party, it is important to opt for a classic model.
It can be a long outfit, of course, a dress of medium length will look good. About mini in this case it is better to forget. However, a deep (but not frank) neckline, a bare back and shoulders are allowed. Also, great attention should be paid to your shoes. The best solution would be medium-heeled boats (5-7 cm). Their color depends on the outfit, but the most win-win option is nude shoes. Make-up and hairstyle for a cocktail party should be as natural as possible.
Country party: choosing the right image
In cases where the plans include outdoor recreation or in a country cottage, the wardrobe should be selected as comfortable and practical as possible. You will have to abandon high-heeled shoes, replacing them with moccasins, low-speed shoes or boots. Accordingly, things should be practical, not constraining the movement, but not without appeal.
Wearing a tracksuit is not worth it, it is better to opt for jeans or slightly shortened skinny pants that go well with light jumpers and cotton shirts. If the day turned out to be cool, then such an ensemble can surely be supplemented with a sleeveless jacket or trench coat, diversifying look with a scarf, snood, scarf.
Corporate
Choosing an outfit for a working party is an even more responsible task than simply dressing properly for a friend's birthday or meeting old friends. Work colleagues are always meticulous about their colleagues, so at the corporate party you need to appear before them in the form of an elegant and graceful lady, and not a fatal beauty.
It is especially important not to fall into the mud in front of the bosses, as managers always evaluate the behavior and appearance of their subordinates at events. At a corporate party, it is better to wear a cocktail dress, elegant jumpsuit or business suit, decorating it with a beautiful scarf. You can complement the modest image with catchy accessories, for example, large earrings or a massive necklace, original stilettos.
Rules for making a formal wardrobe for men
Now let's try to figure out what to wear to a party for a man. It is much easier for the stronger floor to choose an appropriate wardrobe for an informal event than for ladies. For example, the bottom - narrowed trousers or jeans, with the top also nothing complicated - a knitted sweater or sweater, shirt, polo shirt is perfect. Shoes so fashionable now are not worth running shoes, loafers or sports shoes will look much better.
