Deciphering party dress codes with good shoes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
They should be looking for the happy medium."
The invite - or make that the more likely Evite - probably won't give you the guidance you're seeking. Hosts want to kick off the party with cute conversation, not an edict about what to wear. And even if dress code is addressed, it's probably "cocktail casual" or "holiday glam," which can mean a whole lot of things to different people. Even the formal "black-tie" directive seems to be open to interpretation.
"As soon as you get an invitation, the first question is,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 'What do I wear?' Or at least that's what I think," says Lisa Axelson, head designer at Ann Taylor.
Style expert Amy Tara Koch goes straight to the fine print to see what the venue is,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. She says that gives the biggest clue; a party at someone's home will dictate a different dress than one at a restaurant.
A house party gives permission to be a little more daring, whether it's a plunging neckline or a fashion-forward combination,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], mostly because there's an assumption that you know the hosts well enough to be invited into their inner circle and you could very well know the other people there, Koch says. A restaurant party could still be a gathering of your more intimate friends,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but it also could be with work colleagues or extended family - you know,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the relatives you only see in December.
Axelson, however, sees a big difference in the appropriate attire if the party is at the country club or the neighbourhood bistro. She also lets the day and time guide her: probably nice trousers or a pencil skirt and embellished-neck sweater with flats for a Sunday brunch, maybe something with some glitter for Saturday night.
An afternoon open house is practically an invitation for something colorful, says Koch. Her plan this season is to break out a bright shirt, fur vest, leggings and tall boots.
There are very few dress-code mistakes that can't be fixed with a great shoe,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], says Colleen Sherin, senior fashion director at Saks Fifth Avenue. The other option is a lovely necklace or earrings to draw people immediately to your face.
Both Axelson and Koch encourage easily removable accessories that dress up or down an outfit. It could be the statement necklace that tucks under your collar if it's a more relaxed crowd, or a beaded wrap or tailored jacket - maybe one with sparkle, Axelson suggests - that can be hung with the coats if needed. No one will be the wiser, they say, and you'll walk in knowing you have options.
It's not a bad idea to keep "a few spare parts" in the car as well, in case you've shown up on the casual side, says Koch.
"My transition toolbox is textured tights, long dangling earrings, a very long, vertical scarf, a cuff bracelet and a brighter lipstick," she says.
Van Damme purposely carries a clutch to parties, which blends better than a big overstuffed handbag, so she can slip things in or out without drawing attention.
She'll always choose a sleek and chic silhouette over something froufrou: It's respectful and stylish,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], she says.
Generally, Axelson thinks separates, cigarette or dark-denim pants with the pleated or slinky tank and cardigan, for example,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], offer more flexibility. "With a dress, once you've made a commitment to it, you are staying in it."
What about brocade or jacquard skinny pants with a great blouse? You'll probably feel comfortable in it and treat walking into a party like you were stopping into the corner place for coffee, Sherin says.
But Van Damme puts her foot down on denim. "I don't think jeans are right for a cocktail party or most parties - maybe with a fabulous,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], fabulous top, but why not put black pants on instead?"
