Jewelry always finishes an outfit. Whether it’s casual or classy, it always makes an outfit look complete. This is for my gold, silver, and rose gold gals. Today we will be talking about some key jewelry pieces to have in your collection! 

What Colors To Have:

Gold is classic and so easy to pair with any outfit, but we all know some of us just love silver jewelry. It’s good to have a little bit of both just so you can have it for any outfit. Rose gold is fun too! Also, finding out what color jewelry looks best on your skin tone will help out a lot. For instance, people with cool skin tones look good in light or white metals such as white gold, platinum and silver. On the other hand, people with warm skin tones look good in yellow and rose gold jewelry. Neutral skin tones can wear

Pearls Are A Girls Best Friend:

Pearls are classic and should be a part of everyone’s collection. Pearl studs, bracelets, and necklaces are so elegant when added to any formal outfit. Some people don’t like pearls but for a more levantes or trendy look you can get some that have either gold with it or

Dainty Hoops:

These are great for everyday. Wether they are gold or silver, they will make any casual outfit look out together and complete. These can be added to a gym set, a cook out outfit, or if you have a busy outfit, add these for a toned-down

Adding a colorful or busy earring to a simple outfit can be so fun. When wearing any simple formal dress, adding a fun, statement earring will always look

Having cocktail attire in your closet is essential. The reason being is because you never know when an event will come up! Like many women say, it's better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it. So keep reading and we are going to help you rock a cocktail outfit by introducing you to some essential tips and tricks! 

What Is Cocktail Attire?

Simply put, cocktail attire is nothing but formal clothing but far more celebratory. More often than not, if you are expected to show up in cocktail attire, the invitation will say so. If it does not, then you need to understand that events like anniversaries, reunions, engagements, weddings, etc. are all your typical occasions for cocktail attires. A general rule of thumb for a cocktail dress is that it cannot be skimpy, transparent, too short or too long. Basically, the stuff that falls in between the formal and casual spectrum. Anything from a classic little black dress (LBD) to an A-line, strapless, embellished, lace or long sleeves midi dresses are your safe bets. 

Modest Is Best:

Do not confuse the cocktail party to be a night out with your girlfriends.  Do not wear something that is transparent or something that gets unnecessary attention. Be watchful of your neckline, making sure it is appropriate. 

A-line dresses, princess cut or anything with a flowing hemline that is below your arm’s stretch works. ‘The Little Black Dress’ is an evergreen choice that will never go out of style. Strapless dress to sweetheart necklines, spaghetti straps to long sleeves, there’s so much you can do.

No Gowns:

Keep those ball gowns for your ‘Cinderella’ moment. The fashion gurus usually suggest that you steer away from wearing gowns that trail out and about. 

Midi size dresses are perfect cocktail dresses to wear for cocktail. 

 

Jeans Are A No:

Jeans might be your ultimate comfort dressing, and there are no questions asked there, but it still does not give you the leeway to wear them for a cocktail party. Since they do not fall under the formal-clothing category, don’t even have it as an option.

Instead, try pant suits or chic looking trousers with a chic silk or chiffon blouse. Pair the outfit with a pearl necklace, pumps, and just enough makeup. 

 Do It With A Clutch:

As a woman, I know the urge to carry a mini-convenience store for all the ‘just-in-case’ scenarios and hence the need for an oversized bag. But, by all means, avoid it, and it does not go with the idea of a cocktail party.

A clutch is your best bet or a small yet stylish body bag. If you feel the need for things that go in your handbag, leave the big bag in your car and carry the absolute essentials in a clutch. It makes a statement in itself.

 

 

Do Heels Or Platforms:

We all practically live in flip-flops, and the comfort from these flip flops is indisputable. Not just flip flops, but boots, gladiators, flat sandals, etc. are not considered as cocktail outfits, unless of course, it’s an exception.

Platform heels, wedges, or pumps are perfect footwear, plus they enhance your silhouette.

 

 Do One Statement Piece:

Accessories go a long way in elevating your outfit, and just one neck piece is enough to enhance the look of a plain dress. So, think about that one piece in your accessories kit that will not only stand out but also complements your dress.

One statement piece and just one needs to stand out, too many things at once can look unappealing. You could probably add fine jewelry like a bracelet, finger rings, etc. but keep them minimal.

 

 Do Strapless Or Stick On Bra:

Your undergarments should be way out of the radar.

If your dress has a plunging or tricky neckline, strapless or stick-on bras are your best bet. If you are wearing shapewear, ensure that they align with the shape of your dress and don’t stick out.

If getting cocktail invites is rare for your lifestyle, you don’t have to rob yourself of the chance to wear a cocktail attire. Like I said there are plenty of other occasions where you can wear them.
