01 Aug Need Dressing Tips for a Casino Party? Here’s Your Guide
What comes to your mind when you hear the word ‘Casino’? A glamorous place dazzling with lights, hundreds of people trying their luck, expensive champagne and of course, Bond, James Bond! But most importantly, Casinos are about classy outfits and they have always been.
But it’s not like you can fly to Las Vegas every time you want to have a Casino experience. And that is why Casino-themed parties are a new thing now. At such parties, you don’t have to go to a casino, the casino comes to you. But it is very important to remember that dressing is one of the most integral parts of a Casino-themed Party. With that in mind, here are some dressing tips that will come in handy:
Check out the Dress Code:
Before starting your preparations, check out if your party invitation includes a dress code. If there is a specific dress code mentioned, always dress up according to it. You don’t want to be an odd man out at the party.
If there is no specific dress code mentioned, you can choose your outfit all by yourself. But be in formals or semi-formals, avoiding casuals at all costs. So, let us create a perfect outfit for your next Casino Party:
Men:
Tuxedos are the best outfit for a Casino without any doubt. But if you are looking to spend a little less on clothing, three-piece suits work just as fine. You can always go with Charcoal Grey or Night Blue for the colour of your suit/tux but keep in mind – It doesn’t get any better than black! Black suits and tuxedos are the personification of classiness and will never go out of style.
White Tie outfit is considered as the most formal category for men. It includes black dress coat with matching trousers, a white shirt and white bow tie. You can add a white vest to the outfit to class it up even more.
But if you want to tone down to a little less formal, you can always rely on a black-tie outfit. Yes, the James Bond outfit from Casino Royale! A black bow tie is the only difference here as the rest of the outfit remains similar to White Tie. But with Black Tie outfit, you can play with the combinations a little bit and go for a black-tie as well with or without a black vest. Or if you are feeling a little fancy, you can try on a cummerbund.
It goes without saying that in any one of these two outfits, black socks and black patent leather shoes are very important. Accessories like cufflinks and a silver watch will go perfect with the rest of the outfit.
Feel like Bond yet?
If your Casino party doesn’t require such formal attire, creating a semi-formal outfit is the easiest thing to do. Put on jeans/trousers and a semi-formal shirt – you have an outfit!
Jeans, t-shirt and semi-formal jacket – another outfit! And such outfits look great with white sneakers. Plus, there is a lot you can do in terms of accessories when it comes to semi-formals – A watch, glasses, leather wrist bands, belt or even a hat!
Women:
When it comes to formals, men have to restrict themselves to a certain extent. But that’s not the case with ladies. Women can be creative in their formal outfits too. Just a quick tip though ladies, you want to look perfect for the party but make sure you are also comfortable in that outfit throughout the evening.
Let’s go back to Casino Royale once again! Do you remember Caterina Murino’s orange gown from the movie? Of course, you do! It was a floor-length satin prom dress and it looked perfect! A prom dress to a Casino party? Sound crazy, right? But that dress became iconic after the movie and a lot of women wear similar outfits nowadays with a number of colours to pick from.
Cocktail dresses are the best way to dress up for a casino party. They are stylish and classy at the same time. Once again, women have so many colours they can choose from in cocktail dresses. Pair your dress with high heel footwear, and you have a perfect outfit.
Just like men’s black-tie outfit, women also have a black-tie gown category for formal attire. The floor-length gown with different variations like off-shoulder, one-shoulder, long sleeves and many more falls into a black-tie outfit. Colours like black, red and blue are perfect for such outfits.
Women have so many accessories which they can choose from to go with the outfit. But the secret is not overdoing it. Classy earrings, high-heel footwear and a small wallet are all you need. There is always an option of a necklace, a watch and a belt, depending on the dress but the art is being simple and yet classy at the same time!
