These days, more and more people are having parties at home. Small gatherings are now trending, and it seems that this will be a strong trend over the following years as well.
Here are some practical tips to follow for both men and women!
Suggestions for men
A night out… or, better said, in? When you are attending a house party, you can go for a cool look by wearing simple, yet effective pieces. Think of a something that has a wow-factor to it, but that is also simple. A cool sweater, a shirt with a print or a nice jacket can all be go-to pieces.
What about jeans? They are indeed worn regularly, but they can also be worn at parties! The concept of ‘less is more’ works well at casual events. You can build your outfit around a pair of simple jeans, but you can also wear chinos or another type of pants, which you can mix with a cool, colorful shirt for effect.
You can add a jacket, but you can also skip it, since a house is a casual environment.
What you should also consider wearing is accessories. When it comes to house parties, you should keep it simple; maybe you can skip out the flashy necklace and go for a simple watch or a bracelet.
Tips for women
When it comes to the ladies, we would also advise them to avoid being too dressy. House parties are different from clubs. A simple house party might not be the best place for cocktail dresses and sky-high heels.
Shoes should be chosen carefully. You might not want to wear high heels to a party where you are planning to dance.
If you are planning to stay for several hours, avoid skin-tight clothing. Low-maintenance looks are the best. You don’t want to stop and worry about adjusting an annoying strap or having to retuck your tank top while you’re trying to have fun!
When it comes to individual pieces, wide-leg jeans for women bring a touch of drama to a simple outfit with their oversize shape and flow. They are an excellent example of something that looks good, but that does not make you look overdressed.
You can achieve a simple yet sophisticated look by reducing your color palette, but while still making sure that you wear well-fitting, impressive pieces. Pair white jeans with a cool shirt, or opt for a cami dress with a subtle print.
The key to all of these ideas is to keep it simple and casual, but to still go for pieces that will wow others and that, above all, will make you feel comfortable. In the end, that is the key to style!
