Dressing Down an Outfit

We definitely spend a lot of time imagining how we will dress up an outfit, but what about dressing things down? Sometimes you have a great piece that could really work on a night out, but it's just a touch too fancy. If you'd like some tips on taking a fancy dress and making it less dressy, then you've come to the right place, without a doubt.

Dress Down Tip 1: The overshirt, sweater, or wrap.
Take a jersey wrap dress or embellished frock and layer to take the design details down a notch or two. Instead of spangled fabric all over, you can wear a lightweight wool wrap or a silk shawl around your shoulders, and look dressed-down enough for a casual outing. Choose a structured, tailored blazer to wear over a fancy dress with a poofy skirt, and pair it with booties, or wear a low-cut cocktail dress with a large pashmina on top.

Dress Down Tip 2: Boots
Boots can add a casual air to the fanciest of cocktail-length dresses, and can give you that edge you crave. If you want to make things even more casual, why not grab a special bootie in suede fabric instead of shiny leather? That's far more casual... and it's super comfortable. If you want to go even further, there are plenty of boots available with studs and gems.

Dress Down Tip 3: Tights
Legwear can take center stage if you have a lot of fancier cocktail dresses in plain, solid colors. If you have a silk dress with a lot of interesting details on the skirt and bodice, try dressing it down with tights in a herringbone pattern, or simply an opaque style. Push yourself to try a new tights look, even if it's fairly simple. It will bring down the "dressiness" of your dress several notches at least.

Dress Down Tip 4: The vintage-inspired hat.
While a cloche is a sophisticated selection by itself, when you pair it with a fancier dress, it gets a little funkier and more daring. To make the most of this trend, select a sleek hat with a more casual design-- not just jamming on any old thing to make your frock look less fancy. Aim for wool, matte satin, or dupioni silk to start off with, and try to keep the brim manageable if you'll be headed out to socialize.
