What to wear for the anniversary?
Choosing the right outfit for an anniversary can be a hassle. And it doesn't matter at all whether you go to this event as a guest or a hero of the occasion. Depending on where the celebration will take place, you should choose a dress or a suit.
Elegant dress options
The concept of "smart" for everyone is different, including in relation to the dress. Therefore, it is better to be guided not by him, but by the requirement of the dress code. For example, black tie assumes a floor-length evening dress, real jewelry (not costume jewelry), a high hairdo. This type of dress code has several varieties, suggesting a little more or a little less formal attire, but in general the principle is the same.
Cocktail attire - the requirements are completely different: the dress on the lady must be cocktail. This is a sleeveless and collar model, its length should not be below the knee.
Can I wear a pantsuit?
Modern trouser "twos" are not always designed in a classic style and look emphatically business-like. Suits in the style of the 1990s are very fashionable - with banana trousers and elongated oversized jackets. The colors of such suits are often also not classic - lavender, powdery pink, mint, blue, beige. If the dress code of the event allows, then it is quite appropriate to come in such an attire for the anniversary. You can complement the image with a silk top, pumps and large jewelry.
If the celebration is more formal, then it will be appropriate for it. pantsuitbut the other is strict, with long straight or slightly flared trousers and a fitted jacket. Top or blouse can be emphasized fancy - bow collar, frill, original print are acceptable.It is better to choose a chiffon or silk model. Heels and original accessories are required.
Attire selection criteria
Comfort remains the main condition... Whether it's an evening dress with a train or trousers with a top, a woman should be comfortable in this. No part should bite, cut, crush or interfere.
The fit of every item must be perfect. Only then will it be possible to relax, think only about the holiday and not lose a good mood.
Long dress with a simple cut will be an excellent choice for both the hero of the day and her friends. Of course, dresses for women 30 and 50 years old in most cases will be different in cut, and in color and style. That's why it is imperative to take into account the age, the type of figure, favorably presenting the advantages and leveling the disadvantages.
If short dresses are acceptable up to 30 and even up to 35 years old, then at 40, 45 and 50 it is better to dwell on more restrained options. You can experiment with cut, drapery, accessories, but the length should be knee-deep and below. Even young girls, putting on a mini, should remember the rule - open either the bottom or the top. Thus, if the legs are open, then the top of the outfit should be as strict and closed as possible.
Venue of the event
Depending on where the celebration is taking place, the dress code can also be adjusted: one thing is barbecue in a country house, another is a restaurant or karaoke club. Appropriateness is another important criterion for choosing a toilet, otherwise there is a risk of feeling like a "black sheep" and attracting a lot of completely unnecessary attention.
Summer camping requires comfortable clothing, but it should also be pretty. If this is a picnic, it is quite possible to wear dress or skirt with top... Better if it will elongated models - in a short skirt it is completely uncomfortable to sit on the grass. And you can also replace dress on comfortable cropped trousers and a top. It is good to complement such an image with a beautiful cardigan or jumper - if it gets hot, you can take it off.
Shoes outdoors it is better to wear comfortable ones: sneakers or ballet flats with dense soles, better leather than fabric. The fabric is easy to get wet or stained, which can happen unexpectedly in the grass.
To a cafe or restaurant dress appropriately for the occasion. It could be dress, jacket pair, jumpsuit, skirt and top or something else... Vests for a naked body look very stylish (meaning without a blouse), but it is recommended to wear them only for tall and slender girls, combining them with flared trousers or an elongated skirt.
Season
The season in which the anniversary is celebrated also plays a role. Summer you can choose a flying chiffon dress to the floor or a silk jumpsuit with an original top. Natural fabrics - cotton, linen, muslin - make it possible to sew a light, airy outfit.
Modern prints are so varied that every woman will choose the option to her liking. In sunny weather, dresses of pure, saturated colors - white, yellow, blue, crimson, coral - look spectacular.
Thanks to the frill at the top of the dress or top, you can demonstrate beautiful shoulders and collarbones, a fancy cutout in the back will emphasize a straight back, a fluttering skirt will show narrow ankles... If the celebration takes place in nature, a cotton or linen outfit can be complemented by a wide-brimmed hat and comfortable mules with a stable heel.
If the anniversary is celebrated in winter, it is better to choose a dress or suit from a denser fabric, for example, knitwear, satin, neoprene, cotton. In the case when dances are provided at the party, you can wear a dress with a jacket, cardigan or stole. When it gets hot, the top "layer" is simply removed.
Midi dresses made of viscose or silk with a lining or a cover are ideal. Also, jerseys fit well on women with any type of figure (their cut, of course, will be different).
Shape type
Overweight ladies should choose dresses and suits according to their body type.... If the fullness is of the "apple" type, then a suit made of trousers and an elongated tunic or top will look good. The material should be fluid, flowing, for example, thin knitwear or viscose. The top can be complemented with a cardigan made of the same material - this will create a vertical and stretch the silhouette. Shoes should be the same shade as the suit, and be sure to at least have a small heel - this will add height.
Women with full hips and legs you need to balance the top so that it doesn't look cartoonishly small. For this, a dress with a clear shoulder line and a flared skirt is suitable. It is better if the skirt keeps its shape well, for example, "bell".
Broad-shouldered ladies it is better to avoid both clothes with shoulder pads and "American" armholes, which will visually expand the problem part even more. But for young ladies with straight shoulders and thin arms, it will go very well.
Short women it is undesirable to choose too long dresses or trousers. An open ankle will look more advantageous. The higher a woman's height, the more laconic the cut of clothes should be. A tall girl in frills, ruffles and puffy sleeves will look like a huge cake, and this is hardly the effect she would like to achieve. If you want color, it is better to choose a bright jacket - pink, blue, yellow - and wear a combination dress or top and trousers of a neutral shade under it.
Age
No woman - be she in her 30s, 55s or 60s - likes being mentioned about her age. Nevertheless, it is necessary to remember about him when choosing a dress so as not to look comical or old-fashioned.
Young people can afford everything or almost everything - glitter sequins, rhinestones, mini, breathtaking heels. For older ladies you need to be much more careful. Sequins are acceptable, but not on a mini dress, but on an elongated sun or half-sun skirt in combination with a laconic plain blouse or jumper. Elegance and chic, and not edgy and trends should become the components of a lady's style in years.
Much more aesthetically pleasing, the mother or mother-in-law of the hero of the day will look straight a semi-fitted dress in a noble shade or long, slightly flared trousers and a blouse or shirt with original details - tie collar or unusual cut cuffs. Low heel and elegant hairstyle complete the image.
If the birthday girl has sisters, they should not “surpass” the hero of the occasion in terms of the complexity and effectiveness of the toilet. It is necessary to discuss in advance who is planning to come and in what, so as not to spoil the mood of the hero of the day.
How to complement the image?
Accessories - an important part of the image, they should not be neglected. For example, a successful pair of shoes can "stretch" the look, and an unsuccessful pair can spoil the impression and let all efforts go to waste.
The ceremonial event requires closed toe shoes. Sandals and sandals are best set aside for another occasion. Open heel shoes can be worn in summer. A heel, even a small one, is required. It is best to avoid platforms.
For an anniversary, do not take a huge tote or other excessively roomy and bulky bag with you. It is recommended to limit yourself to a handbag on a chain or with graceful handles.
The rule applies to jewelry - small jewelry is not for ladies over 40. Large earrings, rings, bracelets, necklaces look much more advantageous. Of course, you shouldn't wear everything at once. With a high hairstyle, you can wear beautiful earrings and a bracelet.
A simple shirt will decorate the original necklace... Each woman sets the number of rings for herself independently - there are ladies who, even on their thumbs, wear them constantly and do not experience the slightest discomfort.
