Getting ready for our upcoming Graduation, our resident Stylist,
Designer & Mentor Tahlia has put together some style tips to help
you get ready for the night!
...
What to wear is on the top of all ladies worries when you’re headed to an event where there will be
lots of people you don’t know. – "What if I’m too dressed up?! What if I look toe casual!!"
It’s always better to be over dressed than under dressed...
Then you can say you have another event to go to afterwards that you’re dressed up for!!
Here are 3 types of looks for you to adapt and personalize for After 5 or cocktail events that will
get your style mojo going.
The Tailored Suit
Tailored pants are a great option that ladies tend to forget about. Once you have a great pair of pants that
fit you well, the options are endless. It’s worth spending a little more to get quality fabric in the perfect cut
for your figure so that you can simply pair them with a whole range of different tops and accessories.

Jackets are fantastic for adding a bit a class to an outfit. There are so many shapes available from
cropped and boxy to tailored and classic. Depending on your body shape and which style you choose,
they are fantastic for nipping you in at the waist-(try a single button jacket), covering up shoulders for
conservative events while remaining stylish and covering lumps and bumps that bias cut dresses
often accentuate.

Cocktail dresses are the most popular outfit for after 5 events. There are endless options, and styles
but a cocktail dress generally means a semi- formal dress that can be from above the knee to above
the ankle in length.

The Maxi
Maxi dresses are glamorous and easy to wear. They are very convenient as a one piece outfit, just select
complimentary accessories and some heels and your outfit is complete.
Maxi dresses are not as formal as a ball gown or a full formal dress. They are made in more casual fabrics
rather than satin or lace. To avoid feeling overdressed choose a maxi with a bold print which scales down
the formality.

Whatever you choose to wear be comfortable and confident. If you wear something that simply isn't you, it can
ruin your evening by worrying constantly about how you look!
Look for your favourite colours, and wear what you love x
