Nail Your Dress Code With Our Guide, And Shop The Story From $39

by Aaron Kok  /   December 1, 2017

Dress codes are often loathed upon because they sound confusing and restrictive. Funnily enough, if you master them well, they are quite the opposite of that myth. Rather than see them as a checklist of fashion don’ts, look at them as a guideline and rise up to their challenge.

We all know what Casual, Smart Casual and Business dress codes entail. But for most of us, rarely do we come across codes such as Black Tie, Cocktail or even Business Formal.

We’ve put together a simple dress code guide, so you never have to scratch your head thinking about what to wear next time.

A pair of slim-fitted trousers gives you longer looking legs.

3. Brooch from Lanvin

6. Jennifer Behr headband, $740, from On Pedder
image

Besides letting this encrusted headband be your crowning glory, it also holds your messy tresses at bay. Double win!

Cocktail attire usually has less restrictions, so experiment with bright pops of colour and a shorter hemline.

Looking radiant in her Delpozo dress, Olivia Palermo nails the look with her spot-on interpretation.

1. Esteban Cortazar dress, $565, from Club 21

A knit dress gets a fun update with bright geometric blocks of colour.

Subtle without being boring, and so easy to wear with everything.

3. Alaïa Blanche EDP, $199 (100 ml)

When you look this fabulous, you really only need a clean, light perfume to tie it all together.

Break up all the solid colours in your dress with a textured clutch.

A whimsical addition to any outfit, whether it’s with your cocktail frock or just with jeans and a t-shirt.

5. Shoes, $69.90, from Topshop

Step out in a pair of vertiginous heels that come lightly-studded for that slightly punk feel.

If you’re wearing a black gown, then let your shoes have a bit of fun by choosing one in a bright pink colour.
