Comment choisir sa tenue de cérémonie à la dernière minute ? © Sundress

The event approaches and apart from a dress that has already made three weddings and a jacket-jacket set that you no longer like, you have nothing to put yourself.How to dress without disguising yourself or spending hours multiplying the fittings.

Follow the Dress code yes, but how far?

With the return of weddings and celebrations with great fanfare, do not be surprised if you are asked to bend to dress codes.For the people who invite you, this is also the meaning of the party: to bring you around a color, a theme (country, sea, hawai ...) and/or a change of outfits (cocktail andevening).If you know your hosts or bride and groom, you should easily measure the degree of involvement to respect.Cocktail habit is not necessarily synonymous with red carpet.Especially if the party takes place in a sheepfold.And if the imposed green gives you bad mine, wear it in touches (stole, belt, pocket, etc.) or at the bottom of the body (skirt, pants).In any case, for a wedding, we continue to recommend the total white look and its variations as well as black, reserved for mourning.Ceremonial habit is also not synonymous with stuck or endimachy outfit.You will be all the more brilliant as you will feel good in clothes that make you happy and flatter you.Honor the codes without denying your style: forget the heels and the long if it is not your thing.Except traditional framework, even the mother of the bride and the bridesmaid have the right to overcome her chichite shots.Go also on the side of a flared tunic set + pants, flexible and wide, an iridescent pants suit in a soft or dynamic shade, a fluid combination with the back in the back ... Ideally marble parts with sophisticated heels orminimalist golden bars.

Recycling an outfit, yes but how?

L’œil de la styliste : choisir sa tenue de cérémonie à la dernière minute

If you are in a hurry and want to limit your expenses, the best formula is obviously to recycle an outfit.Divert parts from your wardrobe to wear them differently.Especially those that shine (satin, silk, Shantung, lurex ...) or those who have a party air (bare shoulders, back-naked, basques, puffy sleeves ...).Invent mix by drawing in the festive or office dressing room.Combine the glitter skirt from December 31 at the cotton poplin cream shirt from your last job interview and put your sexy heels.Combine your bodyswood with slightly shiny rising pants.Assemble your flashy evening bustier and a long skirt.Mix a puffy sleeve cover or a Basque blouse with imitation leather or wild silk pants.Get out of the cupboard the beautiful labeled kimono that you have never dared to wear: belted, he will be able to entertain a simple white pants or a long satin nightie.Enhance a vintage sixties dress with a holy water neckline with a chain belt.The accessories will end up outperforming your outfit.Abandon your fine long necklace and your grigris bracelet for committed pieces that will slam your look: tack tack, large cuff, halt accumulation, XL channel belt, maxi b.O… Count on a silk shawl with long fringes.Bet on Waoo shoes (iridescent leather, rhinestones, jewelry heels ...) accompanied by a neat pedicure.And finally, forget your bag for a candy pocket or a mini-evening in the evening.

A hat, why not but which one?

On the invitation card, we mean "chic required outfit".But you are not invited to the price of Diane, nor to the royal courtyard.So, unless you dream of it, no one forces you to wear one of these spectacular sculpture hats, adorned with feathers or giant flowers which imposes a safety distance with your neighbors.Instead, bet on a beautiful capeline in flexible straw, cream or navy, as chic with a bohemian dress as a tailor.If you find this headache too imposing for your little face or too spectacular for your discreet personality, head to a hat with small edges, in cotton canvas or sisal: the essential Trilby and Panama have the elegance to suit allstyles.Are you convinced that you don't have a hats head?Go to a head jewel, a turban or a bibi: this fake hat, very small, is fixed using a bar or a headband on the side or the front of the head.So many amusements that end up dressing the outfit of a special day.
