Fall can be a busy time – more events to attend, more outings to
go to. So what’s the right fashion etiquette for the occasion?
Get together in the near future?
A re-union? Try something in a festive jewel tone and be sure to
finish your look with some fabulous shoes and hand bag and don’t
forget the jewelry. Add earrings and a necklace to finish your
look.
A baptism – you’re the godmother? Try a soft flowing skirt and a
cap sleeve blouse. Or how about a nice light shift topped with a
print jacket. You’ll look stylish but you won’t be over done.
Pay attention to the shoes on your feet – classy but comfort is
important because you’ll be standing for a while. Add some light
jewelry, a pair of baguette studs and a chain and you’ll be
ready.
A date for high tea? Although the formality of white gloves is
gone it is still important to dress nicely. Do not wear jeans or
a sloppy shirt.
If the high tea is an informal meeting then pants with a nice
light jacket is fall colors is appropriate. If high tea is to
honor someone then step it up a notch with a nice light skirt
and top, or a nice light dress with jacket. Some funky jewelry
for the casual get together or more elegant jewelry for the more
formal get together.
Cocktails? There are plenty of options for cocktails. A light
weight dress in fall colors with short sleeves, dress it up a
little with three quarter sleeves.
Go for a fun print, v necklines are great, and don’t forget the
finishing touches with jewelry. Try some dangle or chandelier
earrings. Add a tennis bracelet or bead necklace, some fun but
sexy shoes and your set.
Wedding? Make certain you’re not resembling the bride or taking
away from her day by outdoing her. Contrary to popular belief
black is an acceptable color for a wedding. Decide what you’re
wearing to the wedding based on the type of wedding – is it
formal choose a formal dress. Semi casual – skirt and blazer.
Beach wedding – something soft and flowing. Add appropriate
jewelry, shoes, and handbag.
Office picnic? Relax and wear your casuals. Now don’t show up in
a pair of sweat pants unless it’s going to be a day of baseball
and sports. Don’t show up wearing your anything inappropriate
like shorts that are too short or a clingy top.
Capri pants are great combined with a comfy tank or T. Add some
fun jewelry, and comfy shoes and your good to go. Remember
although this is a fun event it is still a work sponsored event
so put your best foot forward.
Black Tie Gala? This season is filled with soft flowing feminine
looks. So here’s a perfect time to be a girl. Try an ankle
length tiered dress with silky layers in a romantic print. Or
perhaps a long flowing skirt accented with a fitted top and
cashmere sweater.
Add a pair of heels and a small matching bag. Don’t forget to
finish your look with your jewelry – soft colored stone dangle
earrings and a teardrop pendant would be perfect!
Evening Out? Pick your favorite pants, skirt, or dress, add a
bolero or cardigan over a tank or sleeveless blouse you’ll be
ready for your evening out.
Make your bolero or cardigan your focal point. Add some
understated jewelry and your ready to go.
Whether it’s a day at the beach, a board room meeting, a
cocktail party, or a formal event. Dress to impress, complete
your look with jewelry and accessories such as shoes, hand bag,
or belt. Make your fashion statement!
