Have you ever wished you could wear your
party outfits out on a casual walk without looking over-dressed, but don’t
really know how to pull it off? Great pieces sit in your closet, patiently awaiting
special occasions; yet you feel the need to get more out of them somehow. Here
are some ideas on how to put those clothes to good use for a variety of party
themes, and help you walk the streets with both style and suitability (plus you
don’t even have to change before your friend’s debut later that day).
Formal
The most classic
theme for a debut: characterized by fancy dresses, polished pearls, and prim
looks. Everybody’s dressed to the nines, and no one is short of looking fantastic.
Who says that the shimmery sequins and shiny accessories should be reserved for
just these occasions though? Make most of our cloudless skies by catching the
sun’s rays (and inadvertently people’s attention) with an extravagant top and silky
skirt that flows as you walk.
Garden
Here’s a theme abound with lace and
feminine charm, along with cute crumpets and fragrant teas. Flouncy skirts and
demure details define the outfits of the attendees, so why not try a little
more androgynous and provocative spin to the motif? Try opting for a sheer lacey
top that doubles as a passive cooler, a hat to keep the sun off your face, a
pair of shorts to contrast amongst a sea of skirts, and a pair of brogues to
complete the contemporary vintage vibe.
Costume
Although people are getting bolder with
their choices in streetwear, it’s still uncommon to see something truly
show-stopping on a regular basis for two main reasons: one, fear of judgment
from other people; and two: impossible weather for layering. Neither of those
should stop you from trying out a neon ensemble during the day; an asymmetrical
crop top, glittery multi-colored skirt and hippie accessories make fit for costume-themed
parties as well as concerts like Coachella.
Club
Loud music, free-flowing drinks, and a
floor that tremors in time with the heavy bass. Even though air-conditioning is
on full-blast, these kinds of parties heat up real quickly when people hit the
central dance floor. The energy only starts picking up at around 10 PM, so keep
in mind that the outfit should be breezy yet sultry. Forget the jacket and opt
for off-shoulder tops that should allow ample tanning in the day, then enough
allure for the night. Choose leggings made of thin yet sturdy cloth and those
sneaker wedges to permit room for top-notch dancing.
Private
Otherwise known as the “Me Party”.
Parties aren’t defined by the number of people who attend, but rather the people
that do. In this case, a party doesn’t need a guest list, it only needs the one
that matters most, and that’s you!
It’s not as lonely as it sounds ‘cause you get to laze around in your pajamas
and eat uninhibitedly. No one’s there to judge you for how disgusting you get,
and you really just couldn’t care anyway. Wanna go out in your pambahay? Who said yosu couldn’t? Your
shirt’s on backwards? Doesn’t matter! #trendalert.
PJs don’t lack style, some people just don’t have enough sense to make it work.
In the end, it’s all
about being creative and resourceful with what you have. People often neglect
the versatility of some clothes, not only in terms of matching but also in
terms of occasion. Don’t be afraid to try it out; after all, the main factor in
any outfit is confidence. Carry yourself well, and any combination of clothes
would earn nothing but good feedback.
