The spring social season is right around the corner, which means there will plenty of moments to say “I have nothing to wear!” What can make this even more panic-inducing is when the dress code reads “creative comfy” or “casual chic,” leaving partygoers scratching their heads. Fear not. There are ways to navigate the style end of the social scene.
Casual Chic
Think jeans or leggings, a pretty blouse or blazer, and either a pair of wedge booties or stilettos (if the idea of a casual dress or skirt seems dull). Jewelry can always dress up an outfit or lend a pop of color. For men, it’s all about dark jeans and a dinner jacket or a nice button-down shirt and cashmere sweater. Bow ties are always a yes.
Parisian Chic
When an invitation comes with a city attached to the word “chic,” focus on the style of a designer from that part of the world. This could mean a color scheme, particular pattern or accessories that embody that region. It never hurts to surf Pinterest for inspiration.
Creative Comfy
Ladies, break out your flat shoes. This is a perfect time to wear easy, comfortable clothes in cheerful colors or prints with shoes made for walking. For men, tone down the polished vibe and let everyone enjoy that hipster ‘stache.
