Pants—Greys, blues, and tans are great for the summer. Stick to a straight leg, or skinny if you feel comfortable. Consider whether you want to carry a bag, because if you want to go without, you’ll want to look for a pair of pants that has pockets big enough for your phone (to take pics) and wallet (you’ll need your ID if there’s an open bar!).
Shoes—Try a cozy pair of loafers. You’re probably going to kick these off to dance anyway! Youmay also try some typical dress shoes or oxfords. For summer, stick with the classic brown and tan. Or maybe even try a colored loafer or smoking shoe, which you can pick up at J. Crew or Forever21.
Accessories—If you’re not ready to ditch the convenience of a purse, try finding a small leather shoulder bag. Go for solid, understated jewelry. And if you’re leaving your phone behind for the day, make sure to wear a watch as well, maybe even one from Simple Watch Co., so you don’t lose track of your time on the dance floor. A bow-tie or skinny tie may be the perfect final touch to your outfit. If you’re wearing a solid shirt, you may even want to go for a tie with a fun print.
