OUTFIT IDEAS: BEST DRESSED GUEST
Can you feel that, babe? That’s the feeling of Spring in the air and fresh energy permeating every new day. After a long winter — and long year of quarantine — I know I’m not alone in being READY to go out and take advantage of warm weather and safe socializing.
Spring 2021 is also ushering in the return of events. Social calendars are quickly filling up with everything from rescheduled weddings, to reunions with family and friends, to graduations and beyond.
Real talk — after a year in quarantine, your closet may feel due for a SERIOUS upgrade. Or maybe you just want to celebrate reopening with some new styles. Whatever the case, and wherever you’re heading, we’ve got you covered.
Here are some of our favorite LIT fits to ensure you’ll be the best dressed guest this Spring and Summer.
WEDDING GUEST
I don’t know about you, but my calendar is quickly filling up with rescheduled weddings from 2020, and all the celebrations for 2021 couples as well. Luckily, LIT has the latest styles that are appropriate for any kind of wedding celebration.
Heading to a black tie event? Go for something longer and on the fancier side, like The Maya Dress Sand. Or, try The Fortitude Dress Hot Pink. This beauty also provides a pop of color that complements the trending pantone color palettes for 2021, so this option is absolutely on-trend and sure to wow.
No matter the venue, you can never go wrong with a slip dress as a wedding guest. We love options with fun patterns and colors that will ensure your look is unique. Two of our current floral favorites are the Gaia Floral Slip Dress Teal Raspberry and the Gaia Floral Slip Dress Blush Floral.
Want to make a statement in something other than a dress? We are loving elevated jumpsuits for all occasions, and weddings are no exception. A good jumpsuit can make you look trendy and keep you comfortable for long nights on the dancefloor. If you love an all-black look, go for the Narissa Chiffon Jumpsuit Black, or the Thea Strapless Jumpsuit Black. Want some color? Try the Kinn Jumpsuit Fuschia or Breathe Jumpsuit for pretty in pink vibes!
GRAD GUEST
The next month is sure to be filled with grad celebrations for friends and family, and other LIT babes in our lives. This presents a range of events for you to rock the perfect fit.
Let’s start with the basics. Florals are obviously a must for Spring, so try a cute floral look at your next grad party or celebratory brunch. We love the Isabela Valentine Tie Shoulder Midi Dress Pink as a flirty floral option. If a set is more your speed, check out the Kind Words Top and Kind Words Mini Skirt Multi — this set is super fun and feminine, complete with big sleeves, ruffles and a beautiful floral pattern. Aka, it’s got all of the key ingredients for our favorite kinds of Spring LIT 'fits.
If YOU’RE the grad to be, be sure to put a little extra love in your look! If you want to channel bad*ss, professional vibes, try rocking the Harrison Woven Cropped Blazer Taupe and matching skirt. Bonus, this could double as an interview outfit as you start lining up your next steps post-grad.
On that note, a blazer set is a great option for day-time events, whether you’re the guest of honor or not. Some of our favorites include the James Oversized Blazer Sage, or the Albany Oversized Striped Blazer Yellow/Navy and Albany Striped High Waisted Pants Yellow/Navy. For a more feminine take on the blazer trend, try a dress like the Lalita Puff Sleeve Double Breasted Blazer Dress Caramel.
ACCESSORIES, PLEASE
In case you’ve forgotten over the past year, you need to prep more than just your outfit alone to be ready to go out. Here’s a quick rundown of those extra items to consider to really make your look pop.
If you’re wearing a dress or outfit with an open back or complicated straps, consider ditching the bra in favor of cover ups or Booby Tape. Their barely-there look-and-feel will ensure you’re comfortable and covered in even the most daring of styles.
You’ll also want a cute bag to carry your mask and all your other must-bring items. If you’re going to a formal event, check out the Daria Diamond Clutch Silver to add some glitter to your guest look. For daytime, we’re loving the Hard Two Handle Crossbody Nude, or the Jojo Croc Mini Bag Mustard for a pop of color.
Finally, you’ll need the perfect shoe! We’re loving strappy sandals and heels, like the Wynne Sandal Black, and the Desi Sandal Nude Patent. Not only are these shoes ideal for all your events; they’re also neutral and versatile enough to be your go-to shoes this Summer. We love a look that transitions with you through all facets of life, and this style of shoe definitely falls into that category!
Can’t get enough of going out styles? We don’t blame you — after a long hiatus, we’re SO excited to dress up and hit the events scene again. Shop our Best Dressed Guest collection here, and don’t forget to TAG US when you wear these looks, LIT babe.
