What should professional white-collar women wear in various social situations

Nowadays, the word "social" is no longer exclusive to the upper class. When people are in the workplace, they must have various things to attend to. And every year-end social season, business girls often look at the invitations to various cocktail parties and dinners. It is not good to dress incorrectly, but if you dress too solemnly, it will be because you don’t know how to dress properly. Externally embarrassing. Therefore, I consulted people on the China Party website about various social occasions that I may encounter at the end of the year in the workplace, and listed the dress styles in detail for your reference. At the same time, some etiquette for different social occasions are also listed to avoid the situation where you wear the right clothes but behave in an inelegant way. Here are the things that professional white-collar women should pay attention to when dressing up in various social occasions such as banquets, parties, cocktail parties, etc.

Elegant performance occasions

Location: grand theater, gallery

Key ideas: elegance, intellectuality, adding some liveliness to the cocktail party attire.

Common mistakes: too grand and too exposed.

It is nearing the end of the year, and performances are frequent. It is not uncommon for a powerful company to book an entire performance to give back to customers. In China, the basic dress code for performances is formal and elegant, and a basic dress is enough. Never wear a cheap suspender dress. If you do, add a jacket or shawl. Because it is rude to touch the audience next door with your bare arms. Finally, when attending a grand theater or concert hall, please dress up to show respect. For dramas or acrobatics performed in stadiums, etc., there is no need to bother with special styling.

The most classic performance item: a gorgeous suspender top + jacket. A loose suspender top with high quality design and texture is the most worthy investment item for business girls. Paired with wide-leg pants for work, it is enough to cope with all less formal social occasions.

The luxuriously textured jacket makes the outfit warm and elegant. This kind of jacket can also be worn over an ordinary little black dress or one-piece A-line skirt, making it a good choice for watching performances.

Formal reception dinners, charity dinners, company annual meetings... grand dinner occasions

Location: high-end hotels, expensive restaurants

Key ideas: elegant and luxurious— —Evening wear, after all, evening wear!

Common mistake: Too businesslike, so you look like a working person...

If you have the opportunity to attend a client's formal reception dinner, or even a charity dinner, very formal evening wear is unavoidable. Same goes for company annual meetings with a formal dress code. However, there are also pitfalls in domestic "formal dinners" - you think it needs to be very formal, but when you get there, you find that dressing up is like a joke. To be safe, a knee-length dress with a formal style and enough exposure can also be used. But in addition to dresses, accessories, handbags and shoes are also followed, which is precisely the fun of FullDress.

1. The most "dinner" matching item: fur. It is always a good item for evening wear, it will greatly enhance your luxury index. The short-sleeved top jacket is made of different fur patches. The lines of the body are simple, and the rich luster of the fur is too mature. Therefore, when choosing accessories, you should try to choose styles that are more youthful in shape and color. Japanese photographer Mika Ninagawa, who is famous for her bizarre and beautiful works, specially designed a printed dress for Celine, which was completely overwhelming when attending a grand dinner.

2. The most classic dinner item: floor-length dress. Although Dior’s dress this season is ready-to-wear,

The workmanship is complicated and the tailoring is exquisite, so it is known as a custom-made style. If you are attending a formal dinner with mostly foreign guests, and the organizer has repeatedly asked you to wear a large dress, such a floor-length dress will look stunning.

3. The most worry-free and outstanding combination: contrasting red and black colors + simple tailoring. The classic red and black tie together this look. Just the right amount of nudity, plus a printed pattern that looks like a Chinese ink painting, gives people a sense of elegance and freshness. The fluffy and soft fur neck accessories, as well as the texture differences between the glossy and sharp patent leather high heels and handbags, make the whole look fuller.

4. The most low-key and luxurious combination: Chinese-style dress

Wearing a Chinese-style dress is also a safer way to dress for dinner.

Because in the eyes of Westerners, a beautifully tailored Chinese dress is formal enough. However, wearing a traditional cheongsam will really look like a hotel waiter, so it is more sensible to choose evening wear styles with Chinese elements. This red dress, which draws on the "Chinese knot" structure, has a large number of pleats on both sides of the waist to add layering. It is already a dress with Chinese elements. The pattern design of the silver fish mouth shoes, which resembles auspicious clouds, complements the "Chinese knot".

5. The most worthy investment combination: small dress + short coat. Short hem coats that emphasize the neckline and shape, sporadic sparkling crystal designs, and soft light gray tones are all hot elements this season. Pair it with a light gray dress with large polka dots to break the inherent heaviness of the coat. They can be taken apart and used in other situations, so they are worth the investment.

Private parties, theme parties, masquerade parties, happy party occasions

Location: bars, private clubs, warehouses

< p>Key ideas: Full of creativity and personality.

Common mistakes: too formal, completely incompatible with the scene

Go to a party, it’s your turn to show off your superb matching skills! For business girls, the smartest way to become a smart party girl is to make clever use of outstanding accessories with a sense of design, or to mix and match to make ordinary clothes look creative. In this regard, Kate Moss, Sienna Miller and others are all experts. As for the nudity of clothing, it is determined by the room temperature of the venue.

1. The trickiest party outfit: little black dress transformation. The little black dress is the favorite of business girls. Just layer it with a vest and it will look very personal. Scarves, belts and gloves are almost always in the wardrobe. 2. The most dramatic party matching: Gothic style matching. In the past two seasons, Ann Demeulemeester's gothic style full of military elements is full of personality. This exaggerated look that avoids three points in daily wear is the most eye-catching look at parties. The black and gray tones, asymmetrical multi-layered tailoring, and long beaded chains are full of solemn medieval atmosphere. It is recommended to complement it with pale and delicate Lolita makeup. Black thick-soled boots make the body proportions more slender and slender.

3. The most boyish party outfit: British rock style outfit. A neutral rock look that combines British style and Japanese style. Carrying forward the slogan Tee that was revived by House of Holland, the tailoring with a sense of functionality breaks the old-fashioned taste of the fur vest. The waxed slim jeans and silver point-toe shoes continue the gorgeous and uninhibited feeling created by Hedi Slimane for Dior Homme.

Business receptions, customer appreciation receptions, affiliated company anniversary receptions... all reception venues: high-end hotels, fashionable restaurants, galleries

< p>Key ideas: elegant and decent. Wear it to go to work in the morning, dress up a little in the evening and immediately go to the cocktail party.

Common mistake: Being too revealing and sexy.

This is the most common social occasion for business girls, and it is also the part we spent the most time sorting out this time. The cocktail party we are talking about is often a Western Cocktail Party, and the attire is correspondingly cocktail attire. It's just that Westerners' cocktail parties are usually held before dinner

17:00-21:00, and only snacks are served instead of dinner. Our business cocktail reception time may not be so strict, and it may also include a round table dinner. Similarly, in the strict sense, a cocktail dress should be an exquisite little dress decorated with fur, beads and long gloves, but now the requirements are much looser. For example, pants can also be worn, and leather products can also be worn, but The basic principle remains unchanged, that is: between daytime clothing and evening clothing, full of femininity, romance, and exquisite style. In any case, for an occasion like this, everyone comes directly after work. Even if you sit down to eat, you will not be required to dress up like a special formal dinner. And often because of the relationship between customers, affiliated companies, and industry exchanges, the theme of the reception is "socializing," talking, and exchanging business cards. All you need is elegant and decent clothes and formal makeup.

The most taboo thing is not knowing the situation clearly, dressing sexy and flamboyantly talking to others...

A good social gathering place is also very important. You can use the party treasure to make friends and find gathering places, and find them all at once.
