What not to wear for a New Year's corporate party
On the eve of the New Year, thoughts about outfits occupy more or less all women, without exception. There are countless tips and suggestions on this topic. If you put them together, then the choice of outfit will depend mainly on two things: the location of the event and the rules adopted by the company. What is appropriate in a restaurant will look stupid in a cafe or outside the city at the dacha.
Then there are tips on what to wear categorically. You can't be very short, very open, very tight, very transparent. I am sure that this is common truth for advanced readers of K24 (judging by the fashionable comments).
Therefore, I propose to consider the less obvious cases of ridiculous, vulgar, or simply not decorating you attire. Pay attention to the nuances that make the image cheaper. I share my experience of observing corporate parties.
So, the overall impression can spoil ...
…Underwear
Or rather, the wrong underwear. Any image "becomes cheaper" if it is unsuccessfully chosen. The underwear, which is sometimes treacherous, sometimes deliberately peeks out from under the clothes.
Very bad , when it contrasts with the color of the clothing:
Silicone bra straps will not save the situation either. "Oilcloth" on the body cannot be invisible, it shines and shines, sometimes sticks into the body, it does not look very good. Instead of disguise, these straps scream that we have put on "camouflage" underwear, we can't see anything! The impression of the most beautiful evening dress can be spoiled by such "invisible" devices.
You should always adhere to the principle: the less your underwear reminds of itself, the better. For open dresses and moderate sizes, the following silicone options are suitable:
It's no secret that transparency and lace are a trend that is not losing ground. The question arises, what to wear with such clothes? What color should the bra be so as not to vulgarize and not make the whole image cheaper? Many will say that a nude bodice is the right choice.
This will be the right decision only if your beige bra merges with the skin color and does not come to the fore in the image. We'll have to look for one. Sometimes another decision will be stylistically justified: a bra to match the clothes.
A common mistake is a white bra under white clothes.
The answer to the question of whether underwear can even glow under clothes is not unambiguous. If it fits stylistically into the image, then from the category of underwear it goes into the category of decor - if you are pursuing certain goals, then why not.
The girl in the photo is an example of how not to do it. Despite the fact that she tried, picked up underwear to match the skirt, and did not stop at a banal black bra, the impression of her outfit is not very pleasant. A romantic blouse, a "folkloric" skirt and earrings ... and here you are! - aggressive, heavy, bulging bodice.
If instead of it you put on a bra without straps, and on top of a lace bando to match the blouse, the impression will be completely different - nothing will draw attention to itself, and the image will turn out to be one-piece.
There is a significant limitation on transparency and a bra in plain sight, and it is connected not so much with fashion canons as with your age and weight. It is impossible to name the exact number and the limit when such a combination looks cheap and vulgar. Someone at 30 is no longer allowed, but someone at 42 is still allowed.
About tight clothes
Even the slimmest girls need to be careful when choosing such an outfit. Having eaten and drunk, our tummy can stop keeping itself in good shape and begin to fall out. And the protruding belly has not decorated anyone yet.
If you have imperfect shapes, and the dress you like strives to emphasize this, take on corrective underwear. A worthy investment and a gift for the New Year.
The last thing to draw your attention to is what to wear with tight-fitting clothes (especially thin and knitted), under which the outlines of the bra, its seams, ruffles, lace will always be visible.
To avoid this, opt for underwear that is smooth and seamless, and does not cut into the middle of the chest. Otherwise, the breast may give the impression of a yeast dough that has escaped from the fermentor.
Cheap accessories
The simplest dress can play if you attach decent accessories to it: shoes, a handbag, jewelry, a belt or a belt. And vice versa, "jewelry consumer goods" can "opopsov" and "cheapen" not only an expensive dress, but your image as a whole. No, I'm not against simple jewelry, but everything has its time and place.
If you are on New Year's Eve in the village or outdoors in a warm sweater and felt boots, then why not.
If it's a cafe, club or restaurant, then you don't need satin ribbons, single beads, cheap buckles on belts and belts, handbags and clutches from a Centro-type store.
The lady on the left has a vinaigrette: a chain, a bracelet, a belt and a dress from various operas. A bright, lace dress is self-sufficient, a chain with a pendant is superfluous here.
Although the bracelet echoes the color with the dress, it looks very simple and does not harmonize either with the chain or with the dress itself. A black leatherette belt further aggravates the picture. For the next lady, the beads have a right to exist, but again everything was ruined by the belt: too rough and dark for her image. A thinner, more graceful belt to match the beads would look much better. For the extreme lady on the right, the belt also “cheapens” the whole image.
Everyone has heard about the "little black dress", about the string of pearls to it. The woman on the left followed the fashion advice, but did not take into account that a string of pearls in the form of a floral applique was already on the dress. By adding beads here, we got “butter oil”.
If, when creating your outfit, you doubt some kind of decoration, then it is better to refuse it. A shortage in any case will look better than an overkill.
Faux satin and lace
It's about cheap shine polyester satin and cheap lace. If you need to look presentable, expensive, and finances do not allow you to buy an outfit made of natural silk, then it is better to abandon its artificial counterparts. Also give up cheap lace products.
The combination of a lace insert with thin jersey of an indeterminate color is not the most noble combination.
The girl on the right has a generally combustible mixture: leopard + lace + baby face. Even if you are already “big”, pass by such outfits in the store.
Knitwear "oil" (on the second woman from the left) is also not a very good choice for a celebration. It looks unpresentable, reveals all our flaws and excesses. When choosing knitted outfits, focus on denser and less stretching textures.
Bright, colorful and summer outfits
I will give examples of the wrong choice of colors or prints of outfits, which in the end look cheap, and sometimes just ridiculous.
The girl in the center has a too active and lurid print on the dress. Standing out in this way from the crowd is definitely not worth it. In general, choosing bright and flashy colors, you run the risk of being at the festival of life as a black sheep.
If the girl was not at a New Year's party, but in a cafe on the seashore or with her loved ones at home, her outfit would not have caused any bewilderment. Give up on New Year's Eve summer sundresses.
The same story: a cheerful dress, but not for special occasions. With pearls, there is an overkill, and this further simplifies the whole outfit.
I urge all respectable women not only on New Year's Eve, but to abandon glossy oversized jackets forever.
Do not hang yourself with tinsel and other paraphernalia of the new year, for this there is a New Year tree.
About tights and sandals
What follows is not what you might have thought after reading the title. Despite the fact that the fashionable taboo on such a combination is ingrained in the heads of not only stylists, but also mere mortals, I strongly recommend that you try this combination.
After all, what is modern fashion? Nothing less than a challenge to tradition. It makes no sense in our time to declare that there are things that do not fit together. Everything is possible, another question is that very few people manage to present it harmoniously and stylishly. That is why ordinary people need fashionable rules and prohibitions so much.
Let's break one of them, it's not for nothing that manufacturers try and produce tights different in color, texture, density. It is a sin not to take advantage of this and not look for new forms for your images.
In these photographs, the principle of combination is very simple. Choose mid to high contrast thick matte tights with sandals. Tights with patterns and drawings will look great.
Body models that do not have a pronounced toe and heel (monolithic) can also be used. Personally, this combination does not offend my aesthetic perception. Such an invention, in which a black foot and white fingers, looks much more stupid and absurd.
O Take note of how the boots make the image of a girl in a light lilac dress heavier. With this kind of dresses, even pumps will look heavy.
I would suggest the following options specifically for this dress and this girl:
You can "wrap" a light, airy dress and open up space for creativity by wearing a loose jacket or vest over it. Then shoes, boots, and thicker tights will do.
About men
Men traditionally pay little attention to New Year's outfits. At best, they are content with a slightly more elegant variation of an ordinary office suit.
And some do not bathe at all, but at the same time they want to see women in all their splendor, discuss, criticize their fashionable bows. Men, pay attention to your appearance on New Year's Eve!
conclusions
There are not so many "bans" as it might seem. All of them are not even from the plane of fashion and style, but from the plane of common sense. Forming their list, I was guided by a simple principle: the outfit should decorate us, emphasize the advantages and hide the flaws. And not look cheap and vulgar.
