For as long as I can remember as a stylist, always in the top among questions from Clients was: "Tatiana, could you please advise what to wear to a graduation party for a child? And to an exhibition or to the theater?"
Well, let's figure it out. Asking such a (seemingly innocuous) question, the Client wants to receive a capacious answer, expecting that I will offer him a ready-made set of clothes that is suitable for this or that occasion. But, alas, everything is not so simple.
Wardrobe for all occasions
There is no such "fashion reader" in which "bows for all occasions" are written. Even if for a second we imagine that such a book exists, then it would imply the presence of SPECIAL clothing for individual life situations, which are too many to have a separate apartment for such a wardrobe :-)))
I'm not a fan of overstuffed wardrobes. I am for smart investment in clothes. At the School of Shopping, I teach women how to make the perfect (capsule) wardrobe, in which things are combined with each other and fit perfectly with each other.
No, it's not the proverbial blue jeans, black jacket and little black dress. The ideal CAPSULE wardrobe is a high-quality designer with multi-colored details, having mastered which the need for the question asked above disappears by itself.
In such a wardrobe, all things are colored, accessories are modern, basic clothes and a few things in different styles, a balanced proportion of styles and colors allows you to combine things 100% with each other. This wardrobe is suitable for all occasions. It has LITTLE things, but MANY kits.
Alas, so far, for most girls, things are exactly the opposite. LOTS of outlandish things bought for a SPECIAL occasion and worn once or twice, or never at all.
It is impossible to make kits from such things. To create the right wardrobe in your closet - you need to learn. And you also need to be able to dress yourself, spend money on clothes, choose and combine things, like cooking or driving a car.
Today I will answer your many questions and still show you a little how to dress for specific occasion. But these will be just examples, the basis of which is a good capsule wardrobe. Let's briefly imagine ourselves as the owners of the perfect capsule and practice using these girls as an example.

A BUSINESS MEETING
A stylish office dress code is not black trousers and a white blouse. Leave it to the waitresses. If we are talking about modern
When you want to join art, relax in a calm atmosphere, find communication with new people, you can choose not to go to a club and not to relax, but to opt for a theater. An intriguing premiere or a cult performance will be an excellent occasion for this. But one remains important question": "What to wear"? If this question bothers you, then read our article. You will learn about how to dress for the theater and look elegant.
Whether you plan to visit the theater accompanied by a man or without him, in any case, you need to remember about elegance and a sense of style. In drawing up an image that is relevant at all times, the following rules will help you:
- Classic variant. This is nothing more than a set consisting of a cocktail dress, heeled shoes and a small bag with chains.
- Presentation time. If the performance starts in the daytime, that is, before six o'clock in the evening, then the event is less formal. This suggests that it is permissible to appear in society in a dress of calm colors, a strict skirt and blouse. The length of the outfits can reach the knee or be slightly lower. In this case, expensive jewelry is not allowed.
If the event starts after six in the evening, then more strict bows are suitable for evening dress, since the performance will be formal. In this case, be sure to follow a strict dress code. It is necessary to wear a formal suit or dress, complemented by expensive jewelry such as diamonds or pearls.
- The nature of the event. If we are talking about an opera, theatrical premiere or benefit performance of an artist, or private screening, the image should be thought out in detail. You can visit such an event only in a long evening dress, complemented by expensive accessories and jewelry. Open shoulders, open backs, seductive inserts of lace and translucent fabrics, fur capes, boas and boas are encouraged.
- tights. Even if the weather is hot and the room is stuffy, be sure to wear tights or stockings classic color. In no case should you appear in the theater without tights or tights in bright colors.
- Shoes. It is forbidden to wear sandals to the theater. If you come to the theater in the winter season, you should take a change of shoes with you. The toe and heel of shoes must be closed. The most worthy option would be pumps.
- Handbag. Necessarily a small handbag-wallet, clutch or evening handbag model. Baggy bags, briefcases and other bulky alternatives are not allowed.
The looks that are created for visiting the theater are different from everyday, business and disco options. In the theater, you need to show a refined sense of style and good taste, which means that frilly and trendy options from the covers of glossy magazines are not acceptable. The theatrical image involves a bet on simplicity and minimalism, adorned with beautiful packaging. So what to focus on to create a successful image?
- Conciseness. Simplicity implies an emphasis on one thing, either on an open bottom or on a sexy top. This rule applies both in the case of choosing the style of the dress, and with the fabric from which the outfit is sewn. A formal look can be created with an elegant but simple top made of cashmere or other noble fabric. the severity of faith will dilute the eccentric bottom of the dress, simple models classic women's shoes and stylish accessories. An example would be a dress with a closed neck and an asymmetrical hem, pumps with a contrasting toe, and a handbag matched to the shoes.
- Fabric compatibility. Despite eclectic fashion trends, the fabric of the outfit should be combined with each other, and not conflict. A stylish sheath dress made of quality fabric can be complemented with a cashmere and silk cardigan. The balance in the image will allow you to establish Jewelry or expensive quality jewelry.
- Bright accessories and jewelry. For simple monochromatic outfits that are relevant for visiting the theater, you should choose bright accessories that will place accents and allow you to create most interesting image. You can safely wear a collar necklace or a kokoshnik tiara to the theater.
It's time to move on to practice and consider what things from your wardrobe will allow you to create a spectacular theatrical image.
- Beige floor-length skirt, loose fit, beige top. Complement this bow with a contrasting white cardigan or Brown. Handbag and shoes should be matched to match the cardigan to make the outfit harmonious and stylish. Among the shoes in this bow, it is permissible to use ballet flats or low-heeled shoes. This ensemble must be completed with pearl jewelry and make-up close to natural. Such an image will become spectacular with a combination of royal blue and beige, characteristic of the main outfit. Suede blue shoes, a ring with a blue stone and a headband with precious blue-blue stones will make you stand out from the crowd of other visitors.
- Black dress. This versatile option can be combined with any other color. The combination of white and black, white and red, white and blue looks quite rich. The image can be used bolero white color and a white handbag, black high-heeled shoes, pearl thread.
- Dress Basques. A fitted peplum dress in ripe cherry color is suitable for predatory and sexy female representatives. Jewelry should not be spared for such a spectacular option, but it is necessary to observe a sense of proportion when choosing them, because hanging from head to toe with pearls and diamonds, you will receive only negative criticism. This dress can be complemented with elegant long gloves and ankle boots.
- Silver High Waist Skirt and Ruffled Satin Blouse or jabot emerald color. this image is quite suitable for a Friday office bow, when, in view of the upcoming weekend, some liberties in the outfit are acceptable. If time is running out and after work you don’t have a minute to go home to change, you just need to change your handbag for a small silver clutch and go to the theater.
Do not forget that in addition to cafes, restaurants, bars and night discos, you can get to the theater, a visit to which will bring no less pleasure. Therefore, if you have the opportunity to join the art, do not miss it.
Going to the theater at all times has been and remains a festive event, a kind of “going out”, which allows not only to enjoy an interesting production and an exciting game of actors, but also the opportunity to dress well, show yourself and look at others.
Agree, life is so fleeting and busy that all weekend outfits that you so want to wear more often remain hanging in wardrobes and wardrobes for years until they finally go out of fashion.
Fashionistas of, say, the nineteenth century faced exactly the same question, however, they knew for sure that going to the theater should be accompanied by a beautiful and fashionable dress, jewelry and perfect hairstyles. Not surprising, because it was one of the few opportunities to show themselves and their abilities. But what about today?
Going to the theater in our time, it is difficult to guess what you can go to the theater in, because people have abandoned theatrical traditions, many have completely forgotten that in such places there is a certain dress code.
So it turns out: dressed up in an expensive and chic evening dress, you can easily feel like a black sheep among the gray mass of sweaters and trousers. But this does not mean that one should be like everyone and everyone! Of course not.
Nowadays, when the tradition of dressing up in elegant dresses and fanciful tailcoats have sunk into oblivion, there are still certain rules of theatrical etiquette, following which it is not difficult to look decent and, at the same time, not cause surprised looks from the public.
How to dress for a theater girl?
As we have already said, the modern theatrical fashion has changed, it has become much more mobile, the modern pace of life makes people visit such places almost immediately after work, which makes it impossible for a girl or a man to dress up for a grand weekend.
That is why today more and more often in the theater you can find a democratic form of clothing: trouser or skirt suits, and sometimes, unfortunately, even jeans and sweatshirts, which you will agree is not the most appropriate option.
If you do not have time to change after work, then, in fact, there is nothing wrong with coming to the performance in a business suit - just add a few touches. For example: take off, remaining in a blouse, pin up your hair, tint your eyes and, for example, decorate yourself with a pretty neckerchief.
Thus, an ordinary business suit turns into an elegant outfit for going out. Thus, we answer one more popular question- in trousers to the theater, although it is undesirable, you can still walk, only are excluded, especially options with various scuffs and rips.
Another exception may be noisy premieres or closing theater seasons, especially if you are going to the theater "with a name", something like Bolshoi Theater, Mariinsky or, for example, La Scala.
Wearing trousers, and even more so jeans, in such places is up bad taste and insolence. There is another interesting unspoken rule: the more pompous and elegant the theater building itself, the richer and more elegant your clothes should be.
If you are going to the theater for a special occasion, then it may be appropriate to wear an expensive floor-length evening dress with bare shoulders and gloves. Usually such sets are complemented with jewelry and high heels.
For especially pompous theatrical occasions, a fur cape, a dress with a train, high gloves and even family jewels can come up. However, do not overdo it, even at particularly high-profile premieres, such an image may look “flashy”, and therefore it is very important to observe the measure in everything.
The second, more calm and affordable option, this evening cocktail dress is ankle length or knee length, covered shoulders or no sleeves at all, good costume jewelry or fine jewelry.
For ordinary everyday trips to the theater, a festive blouse and a tight skirt of any length can come off (naturally, the mini is an exception). The image can be complemented with a jacket or a scarf.
As for colors and decor, it is better to use fabric of noble colors: no acid shades that will eat away the eyes of artists. Styles should not be too intricate, if you choose a dress with a neckline, then it excludes a slit and vice versa.
Remember that in the theater it is better to look too modest, thereby emphasizing your intelligence, than flashy and defiant. What you definitely can’t wear to the theater is mini-skirts and the same dresses, revealing tight corsets, jeans, shorts, sweatpants and T-shirts.
Hairstyle, makeup and accessories
Since most of the sessions take place in theaters after 18.00, this suggests that a woman should try on an “evening dress”. And this means: the heel is higher, the make-up is brighter, the jewelry is larger and longer.
And yet, the measure must not be forgotten: makeup should be richer than everyday, but not so bright, as if you were going to night club. It can be a dark eyeliner, and to even out the complexion, as well as shadows that are in harmony with the color of the eyes and skin.
The hairstyle should be neat and, preferably, collected, in particular, this applies to girls with long hair. It is not recommended to make voluminous bouffants or high buns, wear hats or headbands with bows, it’s probably not difficult to guess why.
Jewelry has a place to be, but everything should be in moderation: it can be a chain with a pendant and small ones, or a large cocktail ring and large earrings, perhaps a pearl thread around the neck or other beads, the main thing is that they fit harmoniously into the whole image.
As for shoes, naturally, heels are welcome, from 5-7 cm. If you are in a car, it is better to take interchangeable shoes with you, which can replace inappropriate winter boots. Bulk handbags are usually not taken to the theater, they are replaced by theatrical handbags or clutches.
What about men?
If you are going to go as a couple, then it is important that your outfits are in harmony: for example, the color of your dress and tie. A slender young man will look good in a fitted black or navy blue suit, the shirt should set off the complexion.
A tie or bow tie is optional, again, with the exception of the most pompous outings. and tailcoats are practically not worn in our theaters today.
For a young and creative audience, a shirt is suitable, perhaps bright color and plain pants. Nice decoration male image will be a neckerchief, scarf, glasses in an unusual frame or creative shoes.
Wherever a woman is going, whether it's going to the cinema or shopping, she tries on a thousand outfits, tries various options hairstyles. But her toilet is not always in place.
Not only adult women visit theaters, among young girls there are also amateurs. Before attending the next performance, it is important to choose the right clothes so as not to overdo it with defiant outfits and not merge with the "gray" crowd.
Clothes, shoes and accessories for going to the theater
Color scheme and rules for choosing a theatrical dress
It is customary to wear a dress in the theater. Jeans, short skirts or formal suits are not suitable for such an evening - they will be absolutely out of place. The length of the dress can vary from the foot to the middle of the knee. You can wear a dress above the knee, but no more than 5 cm. Shorter dresses in the theater look cheap and vulgar, and the theater is not a place for debauchery. The color scheme is determined by your choice. It could be black dress, blue or even red. The dress can decorate the neckline or neckline. It is important that for this kind of entertainment, like a theater, you should not combine a cut and neckline. If the dress has a cutout, then watch its length, you should not expose your hips. Choose dresses with a neckline carefully. The neckline should not expose your chest completely, only slightly. Dresses with a cutout on the back look spectacular on women in evening dresses. This kind of neckline should not completely expose the back - only the upper part, up to the bra.
Stockings, shoes and handbag
Depending on the color of the dress, choose nylon stockings. Yes, yes, stockings. The stockings will not stand out on the back of your dress like tights. Avoid fishnet stockings. Under the dress, be sure to wear shoes with heels. Choose the height of the heel according to your experience: be it a low wide heel or a thin “hairpin”. It can be both shoes and boots (depending on the season). Choose the right handbag for your outfit. Do not take large fashionable tote bags to the theater. You will not need such a volume of a bag in the theater. It will be enough to take a small clutch, which is worn either under the armpit or in the hands. The bag should match the color of the shoes.
Bijouterie
To make the dress complete appearance, add a jewelry set. It can be beads or chains with pendants, depending on the model of the dress. The bracelet on the hand looks gorgeous if the sleeve of the dress is 190. Earrings will add completeness to the image.
Smoothly moving away from the outfit, we approached at least milestone- evening make-up. Remember, you are not going to the cinema or to the disco, but to the theater, so you will have to give up your favorite sparkles and red eyelashes.
Evening makeup in this case should be restrained, but by no means minimal. Apply the same tone to the face and neck area with foundation and powder. Highlight the cheekbones with blush a little, and rub gently. Line your eyes with a pencil. Apply shadow according to your eye color. Brown and beige shades are suitable for any eye color, so you can use standard colors. Apply more light tone on the inner corners of the eyes, and on the edge of the eyelid, apply a dark tone of the same color. Blend with a brush, and you get a smooth flow of color. The lower eyelid can be left unchanged or brought with shadows that were applied to the edge. upper eyelid. Gently apply mascara to upper and lower eyelashes. Such eyes will not go unnoticed.
Pick a lipstick 2 shades darker than yours natural color lips. Be sure to use a lip liner. In this case, the lipstick will last longer on the lips, and they will have beautiful straight lines. Evening makeup can be diversified with radiant mother-of-pearl powder. Apply it on the neck and arms, but most importantly - do not overdo it.
We complete the image of theatrical hairstyle
After makeup, tidy up your hair. They must be washed beforehand. Combed and too voluminous hairstyles are not suitable for going to the theater. Favorite tails and braids are also prohibited. Long and medium hair can be collected in a smooth bun and stabbed with hairpins. You can also let your hair down. Make them perfectly flat or wavy. Looks beautiful hair raised up. This hairstyle can be made more attractive, just pull down a few strands. If your dress has a beautiful neckline, then this hairstyle will suit you. Girls with short hair should not smooth their hair. Shining invisibility will look spectacular in the hair. Hairpins, in the form of butterflies or bows will spoil your appearance.
Don't forget to pay attention to your nails. They must have a well-groomed appearance, and are varnished. A win-win option for manicure is a "french".
Your image is now complete. Feel free to put on a dress, shoes, do not forget about a handbag. Look in the mirror - the reflection in it will make you smile and admire yourself.
