Have a last minute formal dinner party that you don't have an outfit for? Maybe you want to look trendy while running errands? There are a few key articles you need in your closet to dress up or down any outfit that can save you in an outfit crisis or help you fit the dress code for any event.
First things first: define the dress code. This can easily be done by reading the invitation or asking friends what they plan on wearing.
Dress It Up
In a rush and don’t have time to buy a new dress for a formal occasion? Any simple dress or dress pant and blouse can be easily dressed up with the right pair of heels and jewelry.
Bigger necklaces and earrings will draw attention to themselves and take away from what clothing article you have on. It’s always safe to keep a few of these bigger statement pieces in your collection when you need to dress up an outfit. Tassel earrings are all the rage right now, grab a set and make dressing up your outfit more fun. Just be sure not to wear too casual of a dress in attempting to pair it with nicer bling.
Another huge trend we are seeing this fall that can dress up a casual dress is to throw a blazer or trench coat on top. Also, making sure your hair and makeup is on point will help you look more put together and ready to go.
Dressing up outfits doesn't just pertain to formal wear. Adding a belt, blazer, and block heels to jeans and a t-shirt is perfect for dinner with your girl gang.
Dress It Down
One of the best trends we are seeing right now is dressing down outfits with sneakers. It’s so fun to pair a simple dress and a bold jacket with a pair of white sneakers.
If you want to dress down a dress, throwing a denim jacket over top will be sure to make the look more casual. Another way to easily dress down any look is doing a natural makeup look and maybe throwing your hair up in a cute low bun or ponytail.
