How to Dress for Any Type of Party

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.

After last week's XYZ Premium Fashion Store powered by Visa presentation of SS15 collections, I teamed up with them to show you one "from runway to real life" look! I decided to try this outfit with denim dungarees but instead of high heels I picked slip-on shoes and cross body bag for more casual-cool vibes!
So, is it possible to wear runway looks? Absolutely! There’s no doubt about it, just recreate your own version and you will see!
