Dress code: Dressy casual

Do Denim 90% of the party goers will be wearing denim, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't. Opt for dark denim over faded blues, tailored cuts over lived-in fits, and mid-rise over undies-revealing low-waisted.

Shun Sneakers Leave your Chucks at home – just for tonight. If stilettos aren’t your specialty, there are millions of foot-friendly flats on the market. Ballet slippers are downright adorable, while pointy skimmers add a sassy vibe. Can't bear to give up your tennies? Keds' cute sneaker-flats are the shoe for you.

Be Overdressed – On Purpose Don’t feel chained to jeans and Ts. A short belted shirtdress with cute ballet flats are nearly as casual and every bit as comfortable – but endlessly stylish.
