How To Dress For Different Events.
There are four “events” that I get a lot of styling questions about. They are: 1) dates/going out looks; 2) brunch/weekend looks; 3) weddings and 4) casual-cool school outfits.
This post will discuss the first two events and I’ll be doing another post to talk about weddings and school outfits!
Thanks to some street style looks, I’ll show you examples of what I think are perfect looks for the first two occasions/events/places and explain why!
GOING ON A DATE/COCKTAIL PARTY
The easiest and most chic look for a date or cocktail party/happy hour is always the Little Black Dress. It may seem cliche, and it may seem boring too, but trust me: it’s not. Do you get bored seeing Audrey Hepburn in this little number? No, of course not! So, wear the black dress and accessorize cleverly and you’re good to go.
I love this look from Annika because it’s kind of short and sassy, but covered up on top so she’s not breaking the cardinal rule of dresses! (Boobs or legs, not both.) The shoes are really fun, too, and not your basic black pumps.
Little black dresses do not have to be boring, as Shareen shows here! Where this dress could be kind of stuffy, she makes it unique with the leopard belt.
BRUNCH/WEEKEND LOOKS
You should be really, really comfortable on the weekend. Nothing tight, constricting or too showy. If you have to wear heels all week long, take a break and throw on some flat boots or Converse on the weekend. Also, make sure you dress in layers since you never know how aggressive or lax the A/C in restaurants or stores will be.
I’m not typically a fan of the acid-wash jeans, but I think they work really well here on Frida.
Easy, chic and I love the sandals! You can dress up a casual, plain tee with a blazer, and a wearing a pair of glasses (whether real or fake) is an easy way to accessorize. (via The Dress Diaries)
