Dressing is an art- the art of knowing how to carry ourselves during various occasions. The occasions show how we should dress to suit the mood of the events. Dressing for any occasion is about paying respect to the occasion and the people around you. Here is a simple and easy guide on what to wear for a few occasions.

A Date:

Dates are about leaving a good impression. The secret is to be yourself and dress casually as you always would. If you are trying too hard, the other person will notice which might play against you. This applies to both guys and girls. Boys should wear jeans and shirts that would sum up their personality. Girls, usually, don’t need to do much to impress guys. But don’t look ragged and laid-back. I suggest to dress up with a nice pair of skinny jeans and a sweater or shirt to look casual yet trendy. Accessorize ladies, that pops up your look!

A cocktail party:

A cocktail party is an informal social gathering where you dress semi-formal or “dressy casual.” Tuxedos for guys and evening dresses for girls are normally what you see people wearing at cocktail parties. Black is the evening vibe of the cocktail parties or any dark color would work as long as you keep it modest. Men’s cocktail attire accommodates suit, coat and a tie while women’s attire is a knee-length dress with some frill. You can wear a dress a little above your knee but you should always keep in mind that there’s a thin line between sexy and vulgar.

Night club:

Nightclubs are about fun, dancing and glamour. Dressing up for nightclubs requires a certain taste. Outfits with lacy or sequined detailing are recommended. Those who are looking for a bolder look can wear metallic hues, animal prints, fringe detailing and sparkling fashion accessories. As you are going to be on your feet most of the time, wear comfy shoes.

Sunday Brunch:

Sunday brunch is about gossip, fun and chilling out. Flirty frocks offer comfort without compromising style. Pair them with strappy sandals or comfy wedges along with floral jewelry pieces. If you are unsure about the ‘frock look’, flaunt your femininity in flouncy shorts with floral patterns. Stay sassy in this knockout outfit. Heels are always the first option; you can go with dressy flats as an alternative.
