Picture it: you’ve been invited to a yacht party, and you’re wondering what to wear for the occasion. You know it will be a glamorous affair, with the wind whipping in your hair as you glide down the water, sipping fine champagne and munching on sweet strawberries as strains of your favorite song waft through the air. You’ll need to get your classy yacht party attire just right.
It sounds like something out of a Hollywood movie – and you’ll have to dress for the occasion.
The problem is, since this is your first yacht party, you don’t know where to start.
We understand. We’ve all been there. That’s why we’re here to help! Here’s your ultimate guide to looking like a million bucks at a classy and sophisticated yacht party without spending a million bucks in the process.
Picking Out Your Outfit: First Things First
A yacht party is like every other party: the host sets the tenor. Before you start your shopping spree, consider what the host has told you about the party’s theme. Is it classy? Casual? Formal? Does it have a specialized theme – like Marvel, Star Wars, or Bridgerton? Whatever the case, ensure your classy yacht party attire aligns with the vibe.
Once you’ve sorted out the party’s theme, check the weather. You don’t have to wait until the day before the party to go shopping – you’ll already know the weather based on the season. In a tropical climate, it’s sunny and warm often – but in a temperate climate, the weather changes every season. If the yacht party is being held in the springtime, your outfit will look one way – and that way will be very different from your outfit for a winter party.
Above all else, consider your safety before deciding on your outfit. Stiletto heels are fun, sexy, and fashionable but extremely unsafe to wear on a yacht. Even in the best weather conditions, the surfaces are slippery, and it won’t take much for a misstep to end in tragedy.
Classy & Sophisticated Outfit Tips for Women
When it comes to women’s fashion, a classy & sophisticated woman knows not to follow trends. Rather, this woman knows her primary directive is to follow her fashion style and remain true to herself and her personality. She’ll convey confidence in every step she takes if she feels comfortable. Most importantly, wearing what looks good on your figure is the biggest key to looking like a million dollars without spending a million dollars.
You can’t go wrong with a flowing dress. The possibilities are endless when it comes to patterns, but generally, choose floral prints for a more casual party, solid prints for a business affair, and bold colors for a formal affair. Regarding accessories, take a cue from the style icons of the 1960s: let your accessories do the talking. Pair a floral print dress with a slim gold or silver chain, a solid print dress with a chunky pair of sunglasses, and a bold-colored dress with an equally bold shawl or pearl necklace.
And if dresses aren’t your thing? Follow the same steps with a trendy, unique jumpsuit or romper. The most important thing to remember about dressing for a yacht party is to feel good – that way, you’ll also look good because you’ll be shining from the inside out!
Classy & Sophisticated Outfit Tips for Men
It’s always been easier for men to dress for classy, sophisticated affairs than women, mainly because most men wear pants (even today).
For the men, the fabrics distinguish between a casual affair and a formal affair. Generally, choose linen for casual affairs, breathable cotton for business affairs, and tailored wool for formal affairs. Colors, too, are a personal choice for men, but you can never go wrong with basic black (or white in the summertime).
While men may have fewer accessory options than women, they can have their share of fun with sunglasses, watches, and handkerchiefs.
