OUTFITS TO WEAR ON SPECIAL OCCASIONS

Category: Fashion

Weddings, baptisms, networking events, job interviews, barbecues, holiday parties, baby and bridal showers—what do they all have in common? It’s always confusing to figure out what to wear to them. What you wear to any of these occasions depends on so many factors: the venue, the formality of the invite, the weather, and often what everyone else plans to wear. But there are still some general sartorial standards to look to for guidance. (And do remember that most dress code “rules” are more like guidelines—with a few exceptions, like avoid wearing white to a wedding.) There is much more to our dressing than we might imagine. Our dressing says a great deal about who we are and influences all kinds of impressions. People make snap judgments about us from the clothes we wear. They conclude our personality from the way we look. So if you think “opinions” don’t matter, “impressions” might do, which is why “dressing” most certainly matters.
