If you have a birthday party to attend for a close friend, take the time to select something special to wear. When you dress for a birthday party in your best clothes, you will look and feel great and enjoy yourself even more.
Step 1:
Decide what to wear depending on how formal the event will be. Assume restaurant parties will generally be more upscale than home events. Cocktail parties and weekend evening parties also call for a little bit dressier wear.
Step 2:
Keep in mind what the rest of the crowd is likely to wear. If you know that most of the guests will wear jeans and a t-shirts, pick similar clothes but try to take the look up a notch in honor of the occasion. For instance, select pressed designer jeans with a trendy top or sweater or even a blazer. Add high-heeled boots for the perfect finishing touch.
Step 3:
For a luncheon or dinner event, dress pants with a silk T-shirt or blouse will hit the right note. Add some unique accessories, such as a strand of glass beads or a turquoise necklace or bracelet to make more of a statement.
Step 4:
Remember that a short skirt is always an appropriate party choice. For evening, a black or gray would work well when paired with a deeper color. Find a top in hot pink or royal blue for an eye-popping contrast that is tasteful, too. Keep the look casual with flats or low-heeled boots. Make it more formal with pumps or high-heeled sandals.
Step 5:
Show off your curves in a fitted black dress if the occasion calls for a dressier outfit. You can tone down the look with a cardigan sweater or even a jean jacket, or make it more formal with a beaded or fur wrap draped over your shoulders. Choose strappy wedge sandals or platform shoes.
Step 6:
Try a new hairstyle or makeup color. If you can’t splurge on new clothing, this is an inexpensive way to change your look for a party.
