Diner with sweetheart girlfriends and style : how to dress up

Dinner with your girlfriends is probably the event you are waiting for weeks (if you have three kids like me). We know we’re going to have a great time #zerocensorship, Sex & The City style… But before there is the deadline : which outfit to honor this great great occasion For me, the choice of the outfit is an integral part of the fun I’m going to have, actually it starts here. But this may not be the case for everyone. 

So here are a few tips on how to dress up for a dinner with your girlfriends.

Dinner with your girlfriends is the time when you can be daring, and be audacious.

Your friends won’t judge you.

Step out of your comfort zone and dare to try new looks!

Dinner with your girlfriends is the perfect opportunity to wear your strongest pieces, you know those trendy pieces you bought on a whim two months ago and have been contemplating on their hangers ever since, wondering when you’ll get the chance to wear them!

Well, that’s now!

If you don’t wear your “fashion” pieces for a night out with your girlfriends, you’ll never wear them!

Ideally, choose one of your strongest pieces and build your outfit around it by combining basics from your wardrobe.

Dressing up for a dinner with friends: the glam’ rock look

That s one of the style you can go for this so special event 

It’s time to bring out the sequins, leopard prints, leather, lace (but in small drops and not all together!). It’s not a night out at a club … nor a night with Elton John!

 

Some ideas for glam’rock look : 

  • black skinny + silk camisole/ Caraco + black blazer + black patent pumps

  • boyfriend jeans + thin sweater with big V-neck on your back + pumps

  • black skinny + lace body + black silk shirt + big synthetic fur jacket + pumps

  • black skinny + cream silk camisole / Caraco + leather perfecto + rock booties

  • leather skinny pants  + silk shirt + pumps

  • chic jogger pant  + silk top + stilettos  + leather perfecto

  • leather mini skirt + loose white t-shirt + silk jacket with rolled up sleeves + rock booties

  • straight mini-skirt (silver, gold) + black loose knit sweater + fishnet tights + rock booties

  • black shorts + loose t-shirt + perfecto + studded booties

  • black belted dress + studded booties

  • black mini dress with lace inserts + rock booties + leather perfecto

  • sequin skirt + loose tank top + leather perfecto + biker boots

  • high-waisted pencil skirt + crop top t-shirt + leather perfecto + pumps

  • black pencil skirt + large V-neck sweater + pumps

  • midi skirt + t-shirt + stiletto boots + leather perfecto

 

If your there s not many on the balcony (< C cup), you can also decide to wear your blazer without a top underneath, with just a nice lace triangle Bra that you can hardly see, thin chains of different lengths, your black pants and derbies.

 

Wear your favorite jewelry:

If you wear loose (boyfriend jeans) or “heavy” (leather perfecto) pieces, go for fine jewelry: multiple fine bracelets or metal chains of different lengths around the neck with or without pendants, fine rings etc…

But if hen you wear fine jewelry, be sure to wear several, otherwise they will be unoticables …

With fine jewelry, you can mix styles: ethnic, vintage, rock …

You can also dare a pretty metal or leather cuff (Hermes dog collar cuff style).

Make yourself a beautiful smoky-eye in grey tones and dare your VERY RED lipstick!

 

What about the handbag?

Opt for a mini handbag with a metal chain shoulder strap.

Dressing up for a dinner with your girlfriends: the dressy look

Depending on where you’re going with your girlfriends, you may have to go for a more elegant look.

Avoid being trapped in the too classic or conventional look, it’s still a night out with your sweetheart girlfriends!

You can try to go for an asserted look by choosing a simple and  basic from your wardrobe that you can accessorize

Or you can opt for a strong piece (printed pants or printed blazer for example) that you can tone down by associating it with basics.

To give your outfit a boost and give youth back to it, go for rather imposing jewels: plastron necklace, cuff, chandelier earrings, cocktail ring…

But be careful not to multiply the jewels in the same area to avoid bluring your style path. 

The combination that is aimed at the podium :

  • plastron necklace + cocktail ring (if you absolutely insist on earrings, wear small discreet chips),
  • large earrings + cuff 

Some dressy outfit ideas : 

  • Little black dress + multicolored necklace + feathered tights + stilettos booties + coat or Trench coat 

  • Boyfriend jeans + white cotton shirt buttoned up to the top + rhinestone bib necklace  + patent pumps + black blazer

  • Masculine pants + silk and lace camisole / Caraco + blazer + large earrings (chandelier for example) + stilettos sandals

  • Masculine black pants + nude silk shirt + blazer + leopard pumps + trench coat

  • Lace shirt + black skinny jeans + pumps + blazer

  • Fluid printed shirt + high waist carrot pants + stiletto sandals

  • Printed cigarette pants + ecru silk shirt + blazer + pumps

  • High-waisted pencil skirt + deep V-neck silk tank top  + high-waisted wide belt + stilettos booties + earrings + cuff + short jacket

  • Straight mini skirt + loose grey t-shirt + bib necklace + blazer + loafers

  • Black skater skirt + flashy veil blouse + black fancy veil tights + short jacket + stilettos boots 

  • Pleated midi skirt, high-waist belt ,  3/4 sleeves rolled up  and boat neckline  top + pumps 

 

Regarding the make up , make it nude with a thin eyeliner and a pretty peppy  mouth!

And the handbag?

A clutch or a pretty medium shoulder bag in colored leather.

My little chicks, Voila!  all what’s left to do is  hugging your best friends and order mojitos!

Friendships is something very personal but such a great topic to talk about, spreading the love you get and you give from your sweet girlfriends, so would you be so kind and share some of your experience? Is the dressing up part of the event, are you looking forward to see what your mates do wear? Any favorite outfits for this  particular occasion? Are your girlfriends fashion freaks like you? I have to admit that I’m spoiled on this side, with my best girlfriends it’s a style contest and we love it so much but not as much as we love each other  ❤️

 

Have a fab day!

Free hugs to you and our girlfriends
