A lot of different occasions require different looks. You won’t wear denim overalls to a wedding, just like you won’t wear a Christian Dior maxi frilled dress to the gym.
Still, it’s often unpleasant to buy clothes just for one specific night-out; and achieving the party and classy look is not always an easy feat.
That, however, doesn’t mean that it’s impossible. You still, of course, have to think of the occasion a little – because there’s no outfit that would suit every single occasion on Earth – but a lot of them give you a lot of leeway.
So, behold: here are some tips for great, adaptable looks for this year!
Vintage looks inspired by the 20s-50s of the last century are absolutely impeccable in a lot of senses; they’re gorgeous, usually very beneficial to any body types, and, most importantly, they’re one of the best choices when it comes to versatility.
Most of the vintage looks can be worn a) to brunch, so that you impress everyone with your classy beauty; b) to a date, so that your potential partner falls even harder for you; c) to a wedding, because classy is an amazing option for such an occasion; d) to work, because it’s often subdued enough, and is rarely impractical.
Basically, vintage clothing is party and classy supreme.

Overalls and jumpsuits have been a big favourite for a lot of people for ages.
Now, I know I said beforehand that you wouldn’t wear denim overalls to a wedding – and I stand by that statement! That doesn’t mean, however, that this clothing item is any less important for your wardrobe, or that it’s any less versatile – a wedding is, after all, a very rare and special occasion.
Denim overalls can work for many party and classy occasions: a brunch date, a university day, a night out, even, or just to go shopping; what makes them so versatile is the ability to customise them by wearing literally anything with them.

Stripes are a lot of people’s go-to when they want something more fun, yet not overly loud and screaming. They add something interesting and unique to every look, and fit into most styles and movements – be it vintage, grunge, classy, sexy, warm and wintry, or cute and summery.
It’s always good to know what to pair stripes up with, because, quite often, people misuse stripes in their outfits and instead of party and classy they create something totally different; in addition, it doesn’t help at all that the misuse of stripes may end up making your figure look abysmal.
That in no way means that you shouldn’t try – just always try the stripey outfit on first, before purchasing it and going out.

The truly universal clothing item is finally here. A short black dress would work for any possible occasion you can come up with; it will go with any shoes and accessories and will change drastically depending on what you pair it up with; it will look sexy but not vulgar (unless you want it to) – or, on the contrary, you can easily create the sweetheart-next-door look with it.
Together with vintage dresses, short black dresses are party and classy rulers, and, most importantly, you can find them in any styles, and any price ranges while still of good quality; they are foolproof and long-lasting.
