Weddings, work events, and birthday parties are situations that most of us are already used to finding outfits for. At the very least, there are plenty of guides available online to help you find the right ensemble.
But when it comes to more niche events and unique occasions, things tend to get a bit more complicated. Finding tips and ideas for such outfits online can be much harder, often ending up looking a bit underwhelming. Luckily, we have crafted some outfit ideas that will help you in this case.
Gambling Night Ensemble
Gambling nights are well-renowned for being full of glitz and glamor, typically hosted in opulent casinos. Such establishments tend to have a pretty strict black-tie dress code, which is something most people are accustomed to, and have at least a few options at the ready. However, things get trickier if the casino night is hosted outside of such a locale.
Let’s say that the plan is to play online casino at Bovada, indulging in baccarat, poker, blackjack, or any other classic game that requires a formal dress code. If you’re not very well-versed in the gambling sphere, Bovada is a casino platform that provides all of the traditional games you might expect, such as slots and tablet games. The added benefit is that there is more variety of games since there are no physical limitations.
Moreover, these platforms and the games on them are accessible on a wide variety of devices, such as laptops, tablets, and smartphones. This makes it a great option for those looking to host a casino night without having to deal with the hassle and costs of setting up physical tables and machines and hiring dealers.
It is also more accessible when it comes to payment methods, once again due to the lack of physical constraints. As a player, you’ll get the option to pay with a credit/debit card, wire transfer, crypto, and more.
Going back to the gambling night dress code, in this case, you’ll most likely end up playing at the host’s home thanks to such platforms’ flexibility. As such, there may be no strict dress code, but this doesn’t mean you should forego being fashionable. In fact, you should take it as an interesting challenge for yourself to wow your friends.
Hopefully, you’ll get some hints as to what the vibe for the night is, but if you don’t, we’d suggest sticking with semi-formal or fancy-casual attire. These two categories are elevated looks but a notch below tuxedos and gowns, with the former a touch more elegant than the latter.
For a more masculine attire, a nice button-down shirt paired with slacks or chinos can be great. Alternatively, you could wear a blazer but with a T-shirt to dress it down a bit. When it comes to shoes, you can go for dressy sneakers for a more laidback look or sleek dress shoes for the opposite effect.
When it comes to feminine outfits, a nice midi-dress with a flowy skirt and pockets or a modern jumpsuit can be simple but stunning. Or, you could turn for the beloved little black dress, which works practically for every occasion, or a party dress. As to footwear, heels can elevate a look and make it more elegant, and dress sneakers or sandals can be a great option if you want to make your look more casual.
Finally, accessories and colors are what will set you apart. Don’t be afraid to liven up your look with vibrant prints or bold jewelry. Anything that can reflect your personality will be a great option.
Fashion for Music Festivals
There are countless festivals and music events happening year-round, however, they tend to follow wildly different themes. This is why it can at times be difficult to sort out an outfit as each occasion will demand something entirely different.
As such, the most important thing when it comes to crafting an outfit for such situations is to let your personality shine through. Self-expression is incredibly important to ensure that you don’t simply look good, but actually feel like yourself while following a theme. Since what you wear will heavily rely on the genre of music that will play during the event, we’ll discuss a few different options.
If you’re off for an EDM festival, think of bright and bold outfits that are more on the risque side. We would suggest opting for a more comfortable pair of shoes as there will be plenty of dancing involved for long periods.
When it comes to rock and indie events, a more grungy look will be perfect. And you can never go wrong with a pair of boots Dr. Martens, just make sure you’ve broken them in to avoid any discomfort.
Let’s also take a look through what to wear for major festivals that tend to have a diverse line-up. Here, experimentation will be an amazing way to stand out of the crowd, but typically going for a more boho-chic vibe will be a solid choice.
Finally, we’ll discuss what you can do to personalize these outfits to stand out from the crowd. Accessories are the obvious go-to option, however, bedazzling your outfit, shoes, or even your face can go a long way to making the look more one-of-a-kind.
Alternatively, you can resort to cropping your tops or cutting and stretching the sleeves and neck for a more unique vibe. If you’ve found the perfect outfit, but the colors are just not it, dyeing the clothes is a great budget option that can be done at home easily. And, for the more artistically inclined people, using fabriac paint to add some interesting designs and just add a touch of pizzazz.
Conclusion
Finding the right to wear can be just as fun as it can be challenging. However, we’re sure that if you ever find yourself in the position to enjoy one of the aforementioned events, you’ll be ready for it. And, as our final tip, make sure that whatever you do, you exude confidence – that’s the best accessory anyone could go for.
