What to wear to your dinner party?
A dinner party hostess can choose to wear anything she would like. She is in the spotlight and sets the tone for the party. Something classic works for most modern party givers.
For a casual party it is fun to wear jeans with a tee, statement shoes or an over the top pair of earrings or a statement necklace.
It is perfectly all right to splurge and wear something glitzy if you want to send a message to your guests that this is a festive occasion. An LBD (Little Black Dress) with a piece of statement jewelry or pants with a sparkly top might work for some occasions.
If the dinner party is around the holidays something sparkly, shiny or in a holiday color like red or green can be very chic. Or choose a color theme for your dinner party and wear something in that color(s).
If you want guests to dress in a certain style or colors be sure to make the dress code clear on your party invitation.
Whatever you decide to wear to your dinner party be sure it flatters your body type and fits perfectly and is comfortable. You will be the center of attention!
Tips:
Don’t wait until the last-minute to plan your outfit.
Choose clothing that won’t get in your way if you are doing last-minute cooking, etc.
The day before your dinner party pick out, try on, iron and prepare the clothes, shoes and jewelry you’ll be wearing (including hair, makeup).
