Imagine having to go to a formal event right after office hours and not having the time to go to a salon or change your attire to get yourself appropriately dressed. The formal dinner is at seven in the evening while you just left work at 6 pm. Not to mention that you still got to consider the travel time - plus traffic! You’d be lucky if you could be like Cinderella with a fairy godmother that could just wave her magic wand and the next thing you know you’re off to the ball.
Thing is, you’re not Cinderella. There’s no fairy godmother, no wand, no magic, no time left.
Thanks to the evolution of fashion, people - men and women alike - could now add an accessory or two and instantly their office wear could transform into an elegant evening wear.
This is especially true for men.
Aside from the fact that men don’t need an hour to get their hair done just like women, they could just add, remove and add a little more to transform themselves from an ordinary executive to a dashing, elegant-looking debonair of the night.
Let’s just cut to the chase and talk about these useful tips on how to turn from professional to elegant in just a matter of minutes.
1. Jacket
A perfect dark colored jacket always saves the day (or night, for that matter) when you’re wearing an office shirt that’s not suited for a formal event. Simply wear it over your 9-5 shirt and you’re off to spending an evening looking elegant the whole night.
2. Cufflinks
Cufflinks have always been a symbol of elegance and appeal. As long as they’re matched with the right attire, bringing out an elegant look is not that hard to achieve. Remember, silver cufflinks go well with a black attire while gold cufflinks with brown or any other shade of brown.
By simply adding the right pair, you’re off to enjoying an elegant evening and looking elegant at the same time.
3. Necktie
Although neckties are known to add a touch of formality to any man’s attire, not all ties can help you achieve an elegant look.
The reason is simple. Not all colors can help you achieve an elegant look; not all tie design can do that either. Most of all, not all tie fabrics are suited for elegant attire.
A silk tie is always the best bet to achieve a classic elegant look. As mentioned earlier, color is also an important factor to consider when adding elegance to your attire. Loud colors will never work but neutral and subdued colors will always get you that classic look that you’re looking for. As for the design, discreet, classic patterns as opposed to loud geometrical designs that only fit a novelty themed tie, will always get you that elegant look.
