The festive season is upon us. This also means that your inbox will be filled with party invitations, be it Christmas celebrations at your office or New Year’s Eve hosted by your best friend. Nonetheless, we are sure you will be looking forward to attending the parties with the shenanigans in tow, indulging in great food, dancing with your friends and looking the best you can. Whatever the occasion, you should always have the perfect party outfit ready to avoid last-minute troubles.

Whether you are selecting Indian wear, such as lehengas or looking for a party outfit appropriate for a dinner party, there are a few things you should always keep in mind. From comfort to trends, be careful about these 5 things when selecting a party outfit.

Dress Code/ Occasion

A top priority when picking a party outfit is the occasion and, in turn, the dress code. The reason for this is fairly simple. What looks great on one occasion, such as a house party, might not be the most appropriate for a cocktail dinner party hosted by your colleague. Aspects of an outfit such as fabric, length and silhouette all contribute to how much an outfit is suitable for a particular occasion. Fancy social gatherings call for a full-length gown, such as this Nightingale Dress by designer Anita Dongre. The green hue and minimal embellishments make it perfect for a night event.

Dress Colour

The variety of outfits available for parties comprises features such as fabrics, silhouettes, textures and embellishments. They are also readily customizable these days. However, the one thing crucial to consider while choosing an ensemble for a particular occasion is the colour, especially if the event requires you to stick to a specific theme. Besides this, the right dress colour also has the potential to enhance your natural skin colour or tone it down. So make sure to pick the shades that complement your skin.

Versatility

The more versatile the party dress, the more occasions you can style it for. Not only is this economical, but it can also be a more environmentally friendly move on your part. Outfits such as jumpsuits in neutral colours, such as the one below, can be easily experimented with for different celebrations. From a seaside bash to an office soiree, you can style it effortlessly for any occasion, and every element you add or remove to complete the look can make it look like a completely different ensemble every time.

Dress Silhouette And Body Shape

If you intend to invest in an outfit for a party, it is only right to examine its silhouette and how it looks on your body type. For instance, A-line dresses tend to complement pear-shaped bodies, while sweetheart neckline dresses are incredibly flattering on a rectangular body shape. Selecting an outfit that suits your body type instantly boosts your confidence to help you slay every event. Take cues from ace designers such as Anita Dongre, who have created suitable party attires that look great on different body types and are available in various silhouettes.
