Perfect for Evening Business Events
Evening business events, after work, are usually a little more dressy than daytime office attire. Dress on the conservative side (forget sparkly and shiny) since you will be judged by others. Your presentation might mean getting or not getting a promotion. You want to look poised and knowing how to dress shows that you have good judgement.
Conservative clothing means a little black dress, dress and jacket, suit (stylish suit), skirt and jacket or tailored pants and a jacket. Skirt and dress hemlines should hover around your knees. Necklines should not be too low. In other words what you would wear to the office if you are an executive. Closed toe pumps with high heels and stockings give you a more polished look. Open toe shoes can be worn with toeless hosiery for evening events. When the weather is hot sandals with heels are acceptable for evening events. Add a piece of statement jewelry to give your outfit a POP. Carry an envelope purse instead of your daytime tote. For weekend evening events you follow the same rules but you can wear clothing that is made from dressy fabrics like silk, velvet, satin maybe a sequin dress for some occasions like a Christmas party.
Business Casual Attire
for a Business Function in the Evening
If your office is business casual a simple dress or tailored pants and a blouse in silk or a cashmere sweater and nicer accessories would look good for an evening business event.
For weekend evening events you follow the same rules but you can wear clothing that is made from dressy fabrics like silk, velvet, satin maybe a sequin dress for some occasions like a Christmas party. Stick to conservative style clothing. Add statement jewelry to simple style clothing.
Sporting events in the evening or a weekend Bar-B-Q’s require more casual attire but choose clothing that flatters your figure. Avoid anything too tight, too baggy, too low cut or too short if you are concerned about making a good impression.
