Accessories matter … a lot
Sometimes it is enough to change the accessories so that the comfortable look that we have worn all day becomes an appropriate uniform for an event. Take a look at the actress Amanda Peet and change the flats for heels, the shopping bag for a purse and add some XL earrings. Ready to succeed!

If you are allergic to skirts, the good news is that today you can go elegant anywhere with pants. Betting on white pants, as the North American model Chanel Iman does, is a good idea. It is a very elegant color, which dresses a lot and conveys a festive feeling, especially if you combine it with good heels.

Actress Keri Russell shows us that being groomed is sometimes a matter of attitude. An outfit as simple as a black skirt, white shirt and raincoat can be turned into a special outfit only with a proper attitude and good heels. Wear the raincoat above the shoulders, the shirt collar turned up and a handbag, you will be ready for any event.

One way to take advantage of a dress that you have in your closet but that you wear little because you look too arranged is to combine it with a masculine cut blazer. It will give you a more casual air and you will feel more comfortable. We love how Kirsten Dunst combines a very feminine lace dress with a understated jacket. You can also try combining it with a leather jacket.

The LBD is an ideal resource to attend any cocktail party, but if you don't feel comfortable in a short and fitted dress, do like Naomi Watts and choose one with a wider and more flowing line. The result is just as flattering.

The skirt is a very feminine garment that is also spectacular when you choose it long and with a lot of flight. Make like the American influencer Olivia Palermo and combine it with a casual coat and heeled ankle boots to feel comfortable but sophisticated.

A good investment is a tuxedo-type jacket. Choose it from a luxurious fabric and that it fits you like a glove. It will give a neat air to outfits as basic as this white shirt and ripped jeans worn by the singer Céline Dion.

Your social life is not like that of an influencer and your wardrobe is not exactly that of Paris Hilton, so when you are invited to a party with a special dress code, alarms go off. What do I wear? Before launching into the desperate purchase of a party model that after that day will be dedicated to creating dust in the bottom of your closet, stop for a moment to analyze your style and the resources you have in your wardrobe. At the time we live in, fashion trends are many and the concept of the party look has changed. Learn to take advantage of what you already have in your closet combined with some special detail and get that perfect look with which to feel comfortable and stylish.
Be true to your style
It's about wearing an improved and refined version of your usual style. If pants are your thing and you haven't worn a long dress since your second cousin's wedding in the 90s, it's not a matter of forcing yourself to one at this point in your life. If you are invited to a formal evening event, you can solve the ballot with palazzo pants or a long jumpsuit, the result will be just as elegant and spectacular.
Trust the accessories
Another way to get a more neat look without giving up your personality is by choosing some risky accessory with the clothes you usually wear and with which you feel comfortable and favored. Your favorite jeans and coat will look differently if you combine them with a good heel and some special earrings or necklace.
Sophisticated attitude
Sometimes the same garment worn in another way is revalued. Wearing a simple white shirt with the collar turned up or the cuffs turned up makes it look more formal. Another infallible trick is the coat, raincoat or jacket above the shoulders instead of a position. The final touch is to carry a handbag instead of hanging.
Wild card garments
There are a number of garments that should always be in your closet. A tuxedo-type jacket or a black dress will always get you out of a stylistic predicament. It is also a very good idea to have some very striking and special garment, such as a printed jacket or an embroidered kimono, which, when worn with discreet base garments, will create a special look.
