How to Dress for Any Type of Party
A handy guide to attending with style—no matter the occasion. Parties can be all over the map when it comes to dress code. Especially when the holiday season rolls around, and especially when anything in the ballpark of "creative black tie" or "dressy casual" is involved.
But we've got you covered. Whether it's an upscale event or something low key, here are five style tips to get you through the evening's festivities.
EMBRACE THE TURTLENECK
The turtleneck is the best not-too-dressy, not-too-casual alternative to a collared shirt at your disposal. If—big if—you do it right. Go dark (black works, though darker blues, greens, and reds are less severe), and layer a blazer over it. And never tuck it in.
