It’s summer, and that means it’s time to dust off your party dresses. Whether you’re going somewhere formal or casual, there are so many ways to wear a dress or skirt that will make an impression. Here are some ideas suggested by Spell clothing for classy summer outfits that will help you outshine the other guests at any event.
A feminine dress
A feminine dress is a great choice for a summer party. For this look, try a floral print or pastel colours to keep things light and airy, or go bold with black and white stripes or red polka dots. Look for dresses that have low-cut necklines (like the one pictured above), strapless or spaghetti straps (which will keep you cool), layers of fabric around the waistline to balance out your outfit, and long sleeves if it’s going to be chilly at night. Keep in mind that maxi lengths are still appropriate as long as they cover your knees—it’s all about being comfortable.
A blazer and jeans
A blazer and jeans is an outfit that can be worn to a more casual party but also works well at a more formal affair. The key here is keeping the rest of your outfit simple. A blazer and jeans are already the most complicated pieces in the outfit, so you don’t want to add too much else.

Type of jacket
It doesn’t have to be an actual blazer, but try to find something that looks like it could pass for one. It could be a cardigan or even a vest.

Jeans
You want something dark wash denim that fits you well. Skinny jeans would work well with this look if your body type will allow for them (if not, go with straight legs). Boot cut or wide leg can also work depending on how you feel about your legs looking bigger than they really are. And don’t forget distressed details like rips in the knees or frayed edges along seams—these add personality without making them look too flashy/too dressed up.
A jumpsuit
If you’re looking for an option that will turn heads no matter where you wear it, a jumpsuit is your best bet. A jumpsuit is comfortable and easy to wear, making it great for the office or an evening out on the town. It can be dressed up or down depending on how formal the occasion calls for, meaning women of all ages can feel good about wearing one.
A midi skirt and top or blouse
A midi skirt and top or blouse combination is an excellent way to show off your legs, and you can wear them in a variety of ways. You can wear these items casually or dressy, making this look suitable for both work and the weekend.
Culottes
Culottes are a type of pants that is made with a wide-leg cut. They have a bit more volume than other pants and can be worn with heels or flats. Culottes look great on everyone, so if you haven’t tried this style yet, it’s time!
When wearing culottes, you want to make sure they aren’t too tight—you don’t want them to cut off circulation in your legs or cause uncomfortable creases at the waistband. The best way to achieve this is by shopping for pants that fit correctly in the first place—a good rule of thumb is to go up one size from what you normally wear so that there’s room for movement throughout the day.
An A-line dress
If you don’t have fancy clothes specifically made for party attire, or if you’re just not a fan of wearing them, there are still plenty of options to choose from.
An A-line dress is one such option. An A-line dress has a full skirt that flares out from the waist, but it doesn’t have any bells or whistles like spaghetti straps or cutouts in the back. It’s a classic piece for many reasons: it looks great on almost every body type and can be dressed up with heels or down with sandals. Plus, since A-line dresses come in so many different styles and fabrics, they’re easy enough to find at your local department store—and even easier if you shop online.
To wear this dress properly: pair comfortable shoes that won’t pinch your toes (like flats) with whatever jewellery makes sense for the occasion; add some eye makeup—a little mascara goes a long way here. Also, keep in mind that no matter how much fun everyone else seems to be having when they get all dressed up in fancy clothes at summer parties…the key is probably just being yourself (and maybe drinking some champagne).
Conclusion
If you want to make an impression at your summer party, a classy outfit is the way to go. Whether you’re heading to a garden party or a wedding, these outfits will win over everyone’s heart.
