Outfit Check: How to Choose the Perfect Party Outfit for this Friday Night
When the weekend finally arrives, there’s not a minute to waste on choosing the perfect party outfit. If you’re a social butterfly, you likely have several gatherings to attend or even to host on any given weekend. You want to look good for any party, no matter how big or small, so it’s important to be prepared with a few designated outfits that will ensure you are dressed to the nines no matter where you’re heading. Read ahead for some outfits you can quickly throw together when a party comes calling on Friday night.
Small Get-Together
If an intimate affair is on your agenda, it is important to consider the location and the style of the event. For example, if you are heading to a dinner party at a friend’s place, you can take your work look into the evening by adding a light sequined jacket over your little black dress and bumping up your accessories with a statement necklace. If your small get-together finds you in a bar or restaurant, think about dressing from your waist-up. Sparkly earrings or a blouse with pretty details will ensure that your friends have their eyes on you. You don’t want to be under-dressed, but for small get-together’s you’re usually safe keeping things simple.

Birthday Party
Birthday parties are all about fun, friends, and celebration. The tone of a birthday party is light and playful, so dress the part! Add brightly colored pieces like a color-blocked cocktail dress or a flashy headscarf. If the party is formal, you may want to dress conservatively– but don’t skimp on the fun accessories. Some bangle bracelets or a cocktail ring can be whimsical additions. If it’s a casual bash for one of your besties, you still want to think about your outfit because the occasion will definitely be documented with photos that you’ll be seeing on all your social media profiles.

Dance Party
The key to dressing for a dance party is to dress for the activity itself. Flashing lights will catch perfectly on a sparkly dress that flows and moves with you on the dance floor. Think tank straps or spaghetti straps to allow you allow a full range of dancing queen motion. While heels might give you a sexy edge, if you plan to dance the night away, you might want to consider some pretty flats. If you really want to attract attention on the dance floor, get crazy and throw on some rave fluffies or maybe a glow necklace. The more creative your outfit is, the more likely you are to make new friends on the dance floor. But remember, comfort is key for a dance party outfit—you need to be able to move!

Themed Party
A themed party is only as good as the guests make it. No matter how outrageous the theme may be, go all in. For a decades party, raid your own closet for basics– then add statement pieces reminiscent of the decade you have been assigned. If the theme is international, take a look at the most popular trends to come from that country– whether it is a French beret, a Mexican cape, or a frilly Victorian skirt. If you’re not brave enough to dress according to the theme from head to toe, you can incorporate simple colors and accessories that hint at the theme, but don’t necessarily shout it out loud.
Whatever your event, every minute of the weekend belongs to you. Make the most of it by dressing the part. If you take a little time to plan out some go-to outfits, you will look great—and feel great too. Once you’ve found your perfect go-to outfits for any occasion, you’ll be working for the weekend, and prepared when it arrives.
