Social events are currently on hold due to the pandemic, but that doesn’t mean you can’t start planning for when things go back to normal, does it? It’s event season – aka weddings, parties, and christenings – which means that if you haven’t already started thinking about your outfit for the next big social occasion, now could be a good time to start.
When it comes to attending formal events, knowing how to dress can often be a struggle. The fact is that there are just so many different factors to consider, that it can be extremely difficult knowing what to wear to your next big social occasion
The good news is that nailing your next big occasion outfit doesn’t have to be a struggle – the tips and ideas below should help to make the process of creating that perfect look a little easier.

Always opt for shoes that are stylish and comfortable
While you want to look stylish, you don’t want to be uncomfortable, do you? Especially when there is a lot of dancing to be done – all formal occasions have a lot of dancing, so comfortable shoes are vital. Ideally, you want to opt for shoes with a small heel or select a pair of wedges. Wedges are easy to walk in – even in sand and mud unlike heels – and are on-trend this season, making them a perfect option for your next big occasion.
Be unique
What you don’t want to happen is that you turn up at the event, to find two other guests wearing the same outfit as you. That would be extremely embarrassing. That’s why opting to shop in vintage stores where dresses are one-of-a-kind or having an outfit specially made, is often a good option. Whatever you do, don’t choose the newest, must-have designer dress of the season because you can guarantee someone else will also be wearing it.
A word to the wise: if it’s a wedding you’re attending, make sure to ask what colour and dress style the bridesmaids are wearing. After all, there is nothing more embarrassing than turning up in a dress that makes you look like you are trying to be one of them.
Be smart about your accessories
When it comes to your accessories, it’s important to be selective. You want to create a stylish and elegant look, not a look that says: my accessories are cheap and so am I. Pick accessories carefully – it’s worth buying from a reputable site like orocal.com to make sure that you have high-quality pieces to flaunt.
Clutches are wonderfully stylish and elegant, and are perfect for any occasion as they double as an accessory. Be choosy when picking your clutch and always opt for a design that comes with a chain – otherwise you’ll have your hands constantly full.
There you have it, a few simple style tips for nailing that perfect outfit for your next big occasion – whether it’s a wedding, christening, or work party, we’ve got you covered.
