How To Refine Your Event Wardrobe
You’ve heard of having a capsule wardrobe, think that tried and true trench, a staple pair of jeans (or 2!) and your go to tees. But have you heard of having an event wardrobe? An event wardrobe is all about having a few key event pieces that are each suitable for different occasions. The event wardrobe will save you when you are invited to something last minute or when you cannot find anything new to wear. Having an event wardrobe prepped and ready will help you feel prepared when you are invited to your next event or wedding.
It is important to only have styles in your event wardrobe that you truly love and will wear again and again. This means investing the time and money into pieces that are not only versatile but which are also comfortable and make you feel confident. A flowy midi dress is a great choice, or a style made with jersey material, either way it is important to find which styles you love the most. It is also important to choose styles for the types of events that you may attend – from weddings to cocktail parties. One key thing to keep in mind when shopping for your event wardrobe – if you love it buy it, you may not come across something as good again – this is important to keep in mind even if an event may not be coming up straight away. And when we say ‘if you love it’ this means something that you truly love, feel good in and a piece that by your definition will stand the test of time when it comes to trends.
The Little Black Dress
Made for cocktail parties, work functions, and last minute affairs, the little black dress will always stand the test of time, but consider which type of little black dress suits you best? When trying on LBD styles pick your favourite by choosing which one feels most comfortable on you. Whatever your age, profession, or overall style there will always be a perfect little black dress for you. Perfect for any occasion day to night, great for all skin tones and an excellent way of pulling off ‘the glam factor’ effortlessly, the little black dress guarantees a stunning look. A black dress is great for several reasons, but the main one is clear, versatility. There is so much you can do with an LBD as part of your wardrobe staples. You could go casual with a cocktail dress and understated accessories, flats, and a matching clutch, or dress your look up with a midi dress and matching black heels, statement jewellery, and a bright glitter clutch to tie it all together. A black jumpsuit is also another great option for the event wardrobe.
The Separates
Made for dressing up or down, and for when you don’t exactly know what the dress code is. A fancy pair of pants, a skirt or a chic top are all good additions to an event wear wardrobe. Separates, like little black dresses, are truly versatile. This is because they can be used in a multitude of ways. Wear a flowing skirt with a white button down for the office or with an fancy top for a black tie event. The same goes with the top, a fancy top will look great with jeans for when your friends tell you to wear jeans and a nice top for a night out in the city. Obviously, accessories and jewellery can help when it comes to dressing for a specific dress code. Crystal earrings will make any outfit look fancy, while classic studs are perfect for daytime events.
The Colourful Or Printed Dress
Made for wedding guests, garden parties and Sunday brunches, the printed or brightly coloured dress brings a sense of special to the occasion, but which print or colour works for you and your events? Consider prints that you love the most and prints that will stand the test of time. Some may argue that the floral print is more trend than staple, but year after year we see the floral emerge as a front running spring/summer staple. When choosing a floral print or a colourful dress to add in your event wardrobe, there are a number of silhouettes you could consider. Midi dresses can be seen as an essential addition to your wardrobe staples. A wrap style dress is another style you can opt for in print or colour. A halter neck dress is another timeless shape. A longer gown can also be an event wardrobe essential, especially if you attend a lot of weddings.
