Party Dressing Rules You Should Resolve to Break

There are party dressing rules you need to follow, while there are some that you need to break. Be an innovative fashionista by ‘bending’ these long-established decrees for party fashion.

1. Thou Shalt Not Wear Black Heels with a White Dress.

If you are fashionably smart, then you know that contrast is important for a sophisticated look. With that being said, it’s completely ridiculous not to wear black shoes with a white dress. After all, these two hues look perfect together.

2. Thou Shalt Not Wear Daytime Sandals for Evening Parties.

While the name suggests that sandals are for casual daytime use only, they can be used for nocturnal events as well. Of course, opt for more brandished styles, especially if you plan on wearing a simple yet sleek dress.

3. Thou Shalt Not Match Everything.

In this modern day and age, matching everything up is no longer a fashion crime. In fact, it shows how dedicated you are to your style. When it comes to matching fashion, just choose one subtle element that will keep all of your pieces modishly aligned.

4. Thou Shalt Not Match Your Clothes with that of your S.O.

Before, wearing an outfit that matches that of your beau can be seen as tacky. But now, it is deemed as a sign of fashion harmony and sizzling romance. If Brad Pitt and Angelina like wearing matching tuxedos, why shouldn’t you and your boyfriend do the same?

5. Thou Shalt Not Wear Socks with an Evening Dress.

If you are fashionably adventurous, then this rule is something you should break. Take inspiration from your favorite stars and wear your favorite socks to a nighttime gala. Wearing it with a similarly-colored pair of shoes will make you feel like you are wearing ankle boots – without the added bulk.

6. Thou Shalt Not Wear a Floral Dress for a Formal Event.

With the rising popularity of florals (especially the intense ones,) there is no reason why you should ditch your favorite floral frocks over sleek or polished ones. As a matter of fact, celebrities love breaking this rule! After all, a lovely floral dress will surely brighten up everyone’s day.
