Style Tip 06. Overdressing wins... just

Wearing jeans and a sweatshirt to an exclusive restaurant is not recommended.

99 style tips

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.
