Summer: What Do I Wear?
Summer is almost here and parties will be planned. Invariably, you’ll be invited to an event and you won’t have a clue what to wear. You don’t want to be over-dressed and you don’t want be under-dressed either. Everyone wants to be in a situation-appropriate and comfortable attire. This delightful combination will positively affect your demeanor and how late you’ll stay.
What’s the simple solution to getting it right? Invites to annual events are no-brainers: find out the dress code from people who’ve gone before or look up photos from past years. When that is not possible, and you’re in doubt, ASK. Go directly to the host/hostess. Your colleagues and friends who were invited may not know either. A summer party, backyard barbeque or cocktail party at someone’s home run the gamut from dressy chic to super casual, therefore they are not easy to decipher. So, ask!
What clothes to have on hand? An “LBD” or lovely maxi-dress make for easy options. We are also big proponents of colored pants with a black top (a nice, deep V-neck is universally flattering) in the summer months. For men, a fresh-pressed short-sleeved shirt or a cloud-soft Henley from Tony Melillo are must-haves plus price-friendly, unlike the Kitsuné line which is magical but pricey. Unlined, unconstructed but still razor-sharp blazers stay breezy, are chic and go everywhere.
Ladies, makeup is essential to every party look. It’s the icing on a cake, wrapping paper on the gift, polish on the shoe - all make the final product ever so appealing. (Cake tastes more delicious with fabulous decorating, doesn’t it?) A little mascara, some blush and lip gloss add the right finishing touches.
If you find yourself at an event feeling under dressed, just straighten yourself up as best as you can. Smooth or pull back your hair. Fix your makeup. Tuck in your shirt or blouse, button your jacket or sweater. Carry yourself as if you are dressed extraordinarily.
If there is still uncertainty about the event, better to err slightly overdressed than underdressed. It shows you gave the invitation respect. Plus, being in good clothes makes you feel good. A last tip: plan your shoes carefully. Let them and/or the spare pair you bring, work well for you even if the party heads outdoors (lawn? dirt? or oh my, sand?) We can’t stress enough that what you wear affects your mood and attitude, so whatever you choose, let it add to your confidence and charisma.
