How To Dress For A Dressy Casual Event

Womens day dresses are an important factor in maintaining a stunning appearance all day. Dressy casual is one of those terms often seen on invitations, but which many people are confused about — in part because not all experts agree on what type of clothing is included. This type of clothing is sometimes confused with business casual or just casual attire as well, but there are a few differences. For women, dressy casual usually includes a dress, or a blouse and skirt or dressy slacks. Men's dressy casual attire can include a sport coat, button-down shirt, and trousers.

Fabrics play an important role in keeping an outstanding look. Fabrics worn for a dressy casual event tend to be richer than business attire, but not so luxurious as to push the outfit into semi-formal or formal attire. Daytime fabrics, like brushed cotton, chiffon, and linen, can be a good choice, but the outfit should be accessorized so that it doesn't become too casual. Dress lengths tend to vary, although shorter lengths are common; the nature of the event should be considered, but knee-length or just above is usually perfectly acceptable.

Women in nice slacks and a blouse fit the dressy casual bill, but they can also wear dresses, skirts and blouses, slacks and a pretty sweater, or less formal suits. Most office wear can be dressed up with a scarf, an attractive pin, or by taking off a jacket and wearing a skirt and blouse combo. Adding a colored silk blouse and a high heel shoe could move the outfit from office to dressy.

Shoes are also essential for a dressy casual appearance. Shoes for women should be either semi-dressy heels or flats, and patent leather or metallics are usually a good choice to dress up an outfit. Jewelry should be well-coordinated with the clothing; any type of metal, semi-precious stones, or well-made costume jewelry can work well with a dressy casual outfit. Excessive and overly dramatic pieces should be avoided since they can look too showy.
