Uberstyle.org launched it's official website with an uber stylish fashion brunch at Polo avenue. Attending fashion parties that seem quite high fashion can be quite tricky because you'd meet different classes of people, and let's be honest, the fashion crowd can be quite... snobbish. Lol.
At my first fashion event, I wore a long skirt and a big bat sleeve blouse, and I felt a little... inappropriately dressed. the outfit felt too church-y, the style, too kitsch. With time, I started to learn how to interpret event banners and dress codes.
Here are a few tips on styling your outfits for fashion events.
Research the event:
Find out if the event has been done before and seek out pictures of guests to get a feel of what the dresscode should look like. If it hasn't been done before, then search for a similar event and do the needful.
Perceived quality is everything
Persevered quality is how people see your outfits. You don't want to go to an event looking like your blouse is from Ajah bend down, even if it is. Wear white, wear silk, they always look expensive. Wear one detail that stands out- shoes, a bag, maybe your accessories. Have your clothes well ironed, but nothing says expensive more than the confidence with which you carry yourself.
Where is the venue?
The venue of an event says a whole lot about what you should wear- pool side, flats would work, with a summer style dress. If it's a park, a spunky outfit will do or sneakers, but basically comfort first; you definitely won't wear heels because of the grass. Then when you start to hear Polo Avenue, Intercontinental hotel, EHEN!! Pull out the big guns, go classy, wear heels, let your style shine through.
Ever gone to a fashion event? how did it go? what did you wear?
