Wearing Luxury with Confidence: Style Tips for Any Event (Weddings, Dinner Parties, Milestone Celebrations)

Quiet confidence is one of the most attractive things that you can wear, especially when attending a high-end event. Many times, even while wearing luxury items, you might not feel like your most confident self. That’s why knowing how to style your luxury items, be it a dress or piece of jewellery can help you feel more confident in your skin.

In today’s blog post, I’m going to look at some of the tried and tested tips that you can use to style yourself and become ready to attend any high-end wedding, dinner party, and other milestone celebrations.

A Quick Guide To Wearing Luxury To Weddings

Here are some simple yet effective tips for styling yourself for a wedding:

Understand Venue Demands

Depending on the choice of venue, your idea of luxury can change drastically. There are a variety of venues and themes that exhibit quiet luxury, as opposed to other places that are all about the glamour and bold look. Understanding the demand of the venue can help you fit in more naturally, and find ways to style yourself luxuriously.

For instance, Carlsbad, one of the richest cities in California, showcases an upper-class luxurious lifestyle with upscale golf courses, spas, and resorts, making formal wedding venue options more common. On the other hand, Miami, the magic city of Florida has a more bold nightlife scene, making it perfect for venues that demand little black dresses or more semi-casual luxury styles.

Know The Dress Code

Being aware of the dress code can help you style yourself to look your best. It can also help you decide the kind of vibe you want to give off with the choice of your luxury outfit. Based on the choice of venue, theme, and personal preferences of the bride and groom, you may be attending any of the following events:

White Tie: A white tie event involves full length gowns, subtle yet stylish footwear, jewellery, and a sleek hairstyle.

Black Tie: A black tie event involves lengthy gowns, but also trouser suits. You can choose to accentuate the look with stylish jewellery, usually a black and gold combo denotes classiness. Opt for close-toed-heels.

Formal: A formal wedding is the right place to wear a cocktail dress, as long as it’s sophisticated. Wear a simple pendant, sling-back heels, and complimenting jewellery to bring your luxury look together.

Dressy Casual: A dressy casual look is all about playing to the strengths of the season and time of the event. An evening event should be celebrated with darker hues, both in terms of your dress and makeup. Bolder colours like black and maroon are more appropriate for it. Alternatively, a day wedding should involve softer looks, like pastel shade dresses, ballet flats, and natural makeup.

Enhance Your Look With Add-Ons

Choosing the right elements to pair with your luxury attire can be a smart move to add some personality to your overall ensemble. For white and black tie events, you can pick some subtle jewellery like diamond studs, a bracelet, and a simple pendant necklace. Don’t forget to accentuate your look with stilettos or pumps.

For more casual or semi-formal events, open-toed heels or wedge heels, and some simple jewellery that goes well with the colour scheme of your outfit is your best bet. If you want to exude classy luxury, pick a simple hairdo such as a bun or let your hair down as long as it appears neat, irrespective of whether you’re going for curls, waves, or straight hair.

A Quick Guide To Wearing Luxury To Dinner Parties

If you’re attending a luxury dinner party soon and aren’t sure what to expect, stick to these simple styling tips:

Choose Classics

When you’re in doubt, choosing a classic combo is the easiest way to exude luxury and look stylish at a dinner party. Depending on the context of the dinner, whether it’s with family or professional acquaintances, you can choose a more laid back or professional look. For a family dinner, pick silk or cashmere dresses and accessorise with scarves, statement jewellery pieces and flat footwear.

On the other hand, if you’re attending a professional dinner party, make sure that your chosen dress or trouser-suit has clean lines, and fits you perfectly. Choose a minimalist handbag on the side, wear darker colours, opt for minimal makeup, and kitten heels. Keep the look fresh with a simple updo.

Accessorise Accordingly

Accessories are an integral part of a confident and luxurious look. Since a dinner party is a great way to meet and connect with people, keeping your accessories on the classic end is a great way to leave a lasting impression. Pick any two statement pieces, it could be a handbag, a clutch, studs, a simple pendant, or even a ring. The idea is to bring everyone’s attention to that statement piece.

Follow it up by adding more personality to your look. If you want to add a cinch belt or scarf to accentuate your look, go for it. Even a simple watch can add to your look as long as the elements are colour coordinated and reflect your unique style.

Complement Luxury With Comfort

The most important aspect of looking your best, feeling confident, and making heads turn while wearing your luxury attire is by being comfortable in your skin. To complement your luxury look with comfort, opt for a minimalist, no-nonsense look. This will make sure you have fewer things to worry about and give you more time to gel with people around you.

If you want to incorporate your personal style or a trend that you like in the look, do it subtly and focus on adding a few elements of the look to your ensemble rather than going overboard with it. Quiet luxury is a great way to showcase your personality while keeping an air of sophistication around you. So follow what looks good on you and makes you feel confident for the best results.

A Quick Guide To Wearing Luxury To Milestone Celebrations

A high-end birthday or anniversary party is just one of the many important luxury milestone celebrations that you may have to get ready for. Follow these tips to look your best every time:

Incorporate Your Personal Style

Milestone celebrations of all kinds are a great opportunity to showcase your personality through luxury wear. Since most of them don’t have a theme and are open-ended in nature, you can find different ways to incorporate your personality into it. If you have a chic and modern style, pick a basic silhouette and accentuate it with statement pieces that match your personality. You can also add your personal aesthetic into the look.

Do you relate to the clean girl look? Or, maybe you prefer a bolder aesthetic. Knowing how you want to present yourself and carefully curating pieces of your style into your luxury ensemble can help you feel more confident while still looking perfect for the occasion.

Pick Luxury Fabrics

The easiest way to exude elegance and luxury is by choosing high-quality fabrics for your attire. For a summer-inspired look, choose linen, silk, viscose, and cotton. These fabrics will enhance your look and help you feel more confident, while also keeping you cool and calm in the summer festivities. For winters, fleece, faux fur, cashmere, and velvet are your best bets to look presentable and fashionable.

Complete The Look

A luxury look is incomplete without complementing makeup. Depending on the type of celebration that you’re attending, focus on enhancing your natural beauty with the right kind of makeup. If your aesthetic is all about quiet luxury, find subtle makeup looks to complement your style and look confident. But, if you’re attending an evening event, it might be worth putting on a bold lip colour or accentuating your eyes with kohl. Focus on keeping your look as simple as possible.

Wrapping It Up

In conclusion, while there’s no one way to dress up for high-end luxury events, keeping a few quick tips handy can help you feel more confident and comfortable in your own skin. By understanding the dress code, complementing luxury with comfort, accessorising smartly, perfecting your makeup skills, and adding a glimpse of your personal style to every look, you can style yourself for any luxury event on-the-go, and leave a lasting impression on everyone around you.
