Step up your party style: Alternative outfit ideas beyond dresses

If you’re looking for a way to stand out from the crowd at your next party, ditch the dress and embrace an alternative party style. There are endless possibilities when it comes to expressing your individuality through your fashion, so there’s no reason to be afraid, to experiment and have fun.

Alternative party styles are all about going out of your comfort zone, and breaking the rules, the perfect opportunity to experiment with different silhouettes. There are many options including opting for a wide-leg jumpsuit, a matching co-ord, tailored trousers, or structured blazers.

Party co-ords

A great alternative to a party dress but not all that dissimilar is a co-ord. Co-ords will combine two pieces, usually a top and a bottom half, being trousers, a skirt, or shorts. These two pieces will pair perfectly together. Either because they are made with matching material and are almost completely identical, or because they have been designed to compliment each other. Either way, a co-ord as an alternative for a party dress may be a great option if you are not comfortable having your legs out, are looking for a quality design that can be purchased separately to get the fit just right for your frame, or you simply don’t like dresses.

Statement jumpsuits

Similarly a jumpsuit offers another great alternative. Providing an elegant and sophisticated outfit for a party that can be figure-hugging, comfortable and supportive, all-in-one. Statement jumpsuits have become much more popular over the years and are setting the tone for alternative party outfits. Straying away from the standard little black dress and providing women with a more adventurous yet glamorous party style that will have you oozing with confidence. Those such as NADINE MERABI statement jumpsuits, including ones made with sequins and bold embellishments, offer a party look that is perfect for any special occasion.

What’s more, with the right quality and tailoring, a jumpsuit of premium materials will last a lifetime in your closet. Always providing an alternative for when you want a show stopping look.

Party blazers & trousers

For even more sophistication and a little more formality, you can not go wrong with ditching a dress and opting for a tailored suit combination. Finding a statement blazer and pairing this with a fitted trouser, is an excellent choice for those who want to take a slightly different approach to their party look. Perhaps embracing the androgynous era of the 90s or a female power play moment of the 80s. A modern twist may include embellished statement blazers made using luxurious fabrics such as satin or velvet, making the party outfit extra special. Such blazers can take you from day to night, from dinner to the dancefloor in no time. Making these an excellent option for when you want to celebrate a special occasion with style and sophistication.
