How To Dress Appropriately for Any Occasion [2]

Different occasions come with its own style and codes. Just as everything in life has got its Do’s and Don’ts, occasions have the same approach when it comes to choosing the appropriate outfits.

It could be tricky to pick out the right outfit, accessories, shoes and bags for an occasion. It is not everytime you will be fortunate to be given a dress code. Here are some events we regularly attend and tips on outfits to make you look elegant.

5. Beach or Pool Party:

It’s not a formal event but it is to be considered. This is the appropriate event to show off the hot legs and flat belly. You can wear your bikini beneath a long free maxi dress that flows with the wind. Colorful overalls and tops with very romantic and chic volants are also suitable for a beach party. For a perfect pool party, you can wear a swimsuit paired with shorts or a skit and gladiator sandals. A Play suit paired with simple accessories is also an excellent idea.

6. A Good First Impression ( First Date, Meeting the In-laws, etc):

First and foremost, you should feel like you. Select an outfit that makes you feel great about yourself. If there’s a particular color you look really good in or a pair of pants you’ve gotten a lot of compliments on, start with that. The cautionary note: As the old saying goes, you never get a second chance to make a first impression, so avoid potential eyebrow-raisers. Don’t wear anything too tight or short, and don’t try too many trends at once. For a first date, pick an outfit that’s colorful and feminine and leaves something to the imagination, like a wrap dress.

7. Birthday Party

Elegance, class and sexy should be your theme for a birthday party. Birthdays parties are the best times to wear your best outfit that makes you look fabulous. You want to impress your friends and dignitaries attending the event. The occasions we attend are innumerable, so are the excuses to look one’s best. Wear strapless dresses that will make you look sexy, confident and popular; pair it with suede fabric shoe and accessories. This outfit can also be used for dinner parties.

8. Funeral or Wake

The aim of any individual attenting a funeral is to mourn someone familiar. You should be decently and appropriately dressed to a funeral,  this signifies your respect to the deceased. Black coloured outfits are globally known as a sign that a person is mourning. Your best dresses are not suitable for this events, it is not an avenue for you to show off. Try to dress formal; do not be the central of attention. In Africa, most family members and friends wear aso-ebi to show uniformity, love and respect for the dead.
