Let's face it we all have formal dresses in our closet that we would love to wear more often but just don't have the occasion to wear them to. So how can we style these dresses in order to wear them on a more daily basis? Well here are a few tips for casually wearing your formal attire.
The first tip is the simplest way to dress down a formal dress. Simply add a denim jacket. Actually any casual jacket could work but I have found that a denim jacket works best. Below I have styled a formal black dress just like I normally would for a formal occasion however I added the denim jacket so that I could wear it during the day. The denim jacket really gives the outfit that casual look while still allowing me to wear my fancier clothing.
The next couple of ways you can do to dress down a formal dress are adding bright pops of color and trendy jewelry pieces.
Wearing bright pops of color draws the eye away from the fact that you are wearing a formal dress. However you need to make sure that the items you are using as your bright pops of color are more casual in nature. This trick works best when the dress is a more neutral color but if your dress is already very colorful add bold neutral colors like black or navy blue.
The next thing you can do is wear trendy, fashion jewelry. I chose a layered gold necklace with stone details and layered pink bracelets. This just gives the outfit a more casual feel and allows you to really show you personality through your choices.
