Whether you like having all the attention on you at your birthday bash, or prefer a much more low-key celebration of another year on the planet, getting your perfect birthday outfit sorted is essential. You not only need to work out what the vibe is of your special day (including what you have planned with family and friends) but you’ll need to find something that makes you feel good, as well. So, whether you’re swaying towards the classic little black dress, or are opting for something a little bit different this year, here are some tips on how to secure the perfect birthday outfit for your next big celebration.
Effortless looks with a one-piece
Jumpsuits are one of the most versatile pieces of clothing for a birthday outfit. They can be dressed up or down, which makes them perfect for both daytime and nighttime events. For example, a sleek and modern tailored jumpsuit is great for drinks with the girls, while a wide-leg more bohemian patterned style will work well for a picnic in the park.
Mixing up a two-piece
From one piece to two. The reason two pieces work so well for a birthday outfit is that you can mix and match the pieces to create so many different looks. Don’t want to buy a new outfit for your birthday event? With a two-piece, you can mix one of the co-ord sections you’ve already worn for a big celebration in the past… like New Year’s Eve, for example! However, while it can be fun to mix up a two-piece, wearing the original co-ord like it was designed will give you a great cohesive and sophisticated look. All you need to do is work out how to style co-ords, and you’ll be onto a winner!
Make a statement outfit
For those that do want to be the life of the party, a statement outfit is the ultimate way to keep all the birthday limelight on you. Pieces like a block-colored suit, a dress covered head-to-toe in sequins, or even an attention-grabbing evening dress are sure to turn heads.
Finishing touches
If you do want to dress a little more low-key for your birthday celebration, some standout finishing touches can help remind guests what this day is really about. Things like a pair of statement earrings, a statement handbag, or even bright and colourful shoes can make your outfit pop.
The final bit of advice for planning your perfect birthday outfit? Don’t be afraid to think (and dress) a little outside the box. This year, why not try something that’s a little out of your comfort zone? It’s your time to shine, after all!
