What Kind Of Party Is It?

Knowing what kind of party it’s going to be is the best way to gauge what kind of outfits you should go for. If it’s a cocktail party or something like that, then people are more likely to be wearing party dresses but if it’s going to be a more formal dinner party then people are likely to be wearing floor length dresses and suits. If you’ve been invited to an office party, that opens up a whole new world of problems. Everybody has a particular image that they like to convey to their work colleagues and it’s usually not the same image that their friends and family see. For office parties, you need to make sure that you wear something that is in keeping with your colleagues perception of you.

Sparkles

It is a party after all, so you want to add a bit of sparkle to your outfit. If you’ve settled on something plain, accent it with flashy earrings and necklaces to make it stand out a bit more. Be careful not to overdo it though, it will end up looking clumsy and out of place.

Color

The amount of color you put into your outfit needs to be balanced properly. It’s a fun occasion so you want to inject a bit of brightness into your clothes. You don’t want to turn up dressed for a funeral, but equally, you still want to look stylish. Try choosing one vibrant piece of clothing and pair it with some more neutral colors. If you’re opting for a plain dress, add a burst of color with your shoes or handbag.

Choices in styles

Makeup

Your everyday makeup routine is fine for going to work, but it’s not exciting enough for a party. Go for something a bit more daring to top off your perfect party outfit. A daring lipstick color can really turn heads. Your eye makeup is also a good place for you to experiment with more unusual looks. There are so many interesting designs that you can do in five minutes and they’ll look so much better than your average mascara.
