After a long week of deadlines, meetings, classes and stress, you are ready for a fun night out at the club. But how to present yourself confident? In this article you will find basic tips that everyone can follow, and specific tips for men and women who want to dress the right way for the club.
Steps
Method 1 of 2: Men's Clothing
Step 1. Look after your appearance
Take a shower, shave and apply some gel to your hair. Even if you are sweating and hot at the club, it is best to start the night with a clean look.
Step 2. Try to choose a suitable look for the club
If the club is not elegant, do not button the whole shirt and prefer jeans to the trousers of the suit. If, on the other hand, the club is classy, dress more formally. If in doubt, search the club online to find out its dress code. Some clothing ideas include:
- A nice shirt of the right size. Avoid anonymous-looking polo shirts or shirts (blue stripes, checkered, "office" blue). And don't forget to slip it into your pants!
- Not too baggy jeans. Baggy jeans are very 90s, and not in a good way. Choose a nice pair of jeans that fit you well and are slightly tight.
- A pair of loafers or dress shoes. Try to wear polished leather shoes, but avoid square toes or pointy shoes, which are not considered fashionable.
- Avoid sports clothes or shoes. While not all clubs have a very formal dress code, most clubs do not allow you to enter with sneakers or sports clothes. So leave your gym clothes at home.
Step 3. Prefer other colors to black
While black is usually seen as a safe and sophisticated option, nightclubs often have black light lamps that can reveal dandruff and lint on black clothing.
Blue and dark gray are good alternatives to black, and hide sweat lines
Step 4. Wear a light coat so you don't have to stop by the cloakroom
It's a good idea to wear a coat that can survive the warm vibe of the club, like a light blazer or thin leather jacket, so you can avoid the wardrobe queue.
Method 2 of 2: Women's Clothing
Step 1. Style your hair
While every woman has her own hair routine, some of you may take the time to choose your hairstyle.
- Maybe you often use a look with a high ponytail or loose curls, or you could change and try a new style, like a braid or straight hats. Whatever you decide to do, make sure your hair looks healthy, shiny and neat.
- Don't forget to apply anti-frizz products to your hair, to prepare it for the humidity of the full club and make sure you look good all night long.
Step 2. Do the makeup
Focus on improving your best qualities. However, avoid wearing too much makeup, or you will hide your true beauty instead of highlighting it.
- Start with foundation and concealer. According to the amount of foundation you usually use, decide whether to apply them more for the night at the club and use concealer to cover all the imperfections of the face that you want to mask. Blush and bronzer are also great ways to add depth and color once foundation is applied.
- Now, focus on the eyes. Decide if you want to recreate a specific look, such as cat eyes or smoky black eyes, or if you want a simpler and more natural look with a little eyeliner and mascara. Don't forget to apply waterproof mascara so that you don't run into your face when you sweat dancing with friends.
- On the internet you can find many eye makeup tutorials to get all the looks you want.
- Switch to the lips. Choose a bold shade if you've applied simple eye makeup, or use a more subtle shade if your eye makeup is already flashy and vibrant. Use the lip liner to hold the lipstick in place, or use a shiny lip gloss.
- While it might be tempting to pair your makeup with the rest of your outfit, this look can look tacky. If in doubt, use makeup that complements and doesn't take back your outfit.
Step 3. Choose a dress based on the dress code of the club
If the club is known for a casual crowd, avoid a work suit and overly formal attire. If, on the other hand, the place is frequented by high-ranking people, perhaps a more elegant dress is a good idea.
Choose a look that fits the club, because you'll be sure the bouncer lets you pass and you'll feel confident
Step 4. Don't be afraid to show your body
Think about the body parts you like or are proud of and don't be afraid to show them. Choose clothing that highlights these parts and low-cut to the point you see fit. Remember ladies, you dress for yourself, before anyone else. Here are some ideas for your outfit:
- A cut top or blouse and skirt.
- A tight dress.
- A nice pair of suit trousers and an elegant jacket
- Jeans can be uncomfortable if you have a tendency to sweat, so avoid them.
- If you can't walk in high heels, wear your favorite heeled boots or low-heeled shoes. As always, it is best to avoid sneakers, as they are usually not considered formal enough to allow you to enter clubs.
Step 5. Add accessories to customize your look
Maintain your classy look with a pair of hoop earrings or a beautiful necklace. Try to avoid overlapping too many necklaces or bracelets, as this can make your outfit look more like a costume.
Step 6. Carry a small bag with you
Most clubs are packed with people, so avoid carrying a huge bag full of makeup, shoes, etc. Instead, go for a small bag that can hold your wallet, phone, and lipstick.
Step 7. Choose a light coat to avoid using the wardrobe
Depending on the climate, this can be a challenge, as you'll want to avoid the dressing room queue, but you won't want to freeze either. If you live in a warmer climate area, this won't be a problem. But the climate where you live is harsh, choose a leather jacket that doesn't make you sweat too much, or wear a light sweater under your coat.
