Style Tip 06. Overdressing wins...
just
Wearing jeans and a sweatshirt to an exclusive restaurant is not
recommended.
You think you're wearing what you feel most comfortable in, but
you won't feel comfortable when stand out like a sore thumb at the
restaurant.
On the other hand, wearing an evening dress with stilettos or a
formal trouser suit to a barbeque is also inappropriate.
So which is worse - overdressing or underdressing?
Well, it really has to be underdressing, and this is the case for
two reasons.
Firstly, it's easier to make a dressy outfit more casual than a
casual outfit more dressy.
For example, if you find yourself overdressed in a trouser suit,
you can take your jacket off and loosen a few buttons for a much
more casual look.
Secondly, being overdressed for an occasion may make you feel slightly
uncomfortable but you will still look great.
However, being underdressed will not only make you feel embarrassed
and self conscious but you'll probably look pretty bad too.
