Dressing up can be tasking and daunting. Imagine you are invited to an event and left with the choice of what to wear. You don’t want to turn up looking overdressed or underdressed. Scroll down as we have tips for dressing up for specific events so that fitting in would not be difficult.
1. For a black tie event
This is a formal event so think in terms of the attire and glamourous details. A tea- or floor-length gown is the choicest wear for high-flying events, like formal charity galas, or awards ceremonies. Dress like a celebrity for the night and strut your stuff in a gorgeous satin, taffeta, or beaded number. Choose bold colours. For accessories, choose either a dramatic necklace or dangling earrings. Then match it with an evening bag. Put the extra touch with a metallic clutch and you are ready to go.
2. Cocktail
A cocktail event is semi-formal, so an above-the-knee dress is appropriate. Ensure you don’t wear anything too revealing. Also, keep hemlines and necklines appropriate. Go for an elegant party dress and pair it with nice heels. It can also choose to wear dressy separates, for example, a brocade cigarette pants worn with a metallic or beaded top paired with classy footwear.
3. Smart casual
For smart casual events, reach out for your jeans. Jeans worn with a blazer finished with a pair of heels or flats give chic vibes. So you don’t appear overdressed, avoid full-length gowns and too much glamour.
4. Festivities
You are allowed to play with bright colours, bold jewellery, and sparkly details, to show you are ready to have a good time. Add a sophisticated bling and a vibrant dress and pair with stiletto pumps, together with embellished or a glittery clutch to kick the festival balling.
5. Business meeting
You need to be mindful of what you wear to the office or an important interview. For work dinners, company parties, and networking events, opt for elegant wears. A simple skirt suit or a sheath dress would not be a bad choice. Don’t experiment with trendy cuts or the hot colour for a business meeting. Even, if your office is casual, switch up your usual look with a skirt rather than pants. Pair with a blouse instead of a tank or tee shirt. Finish up with pumps instead of flats. An everyday bag would not spoil your look.
