What to wear to a lifestyle event — complete guide

Here's the complete guide:

For women:

• Cocktail dress is always safe
• Lingerie (if the event allows it — some are lingerie-themed)
• High heels, but bring a pair of flats for later
• Accessories: subtle jewelry, clutch purse
• Pro tip: Bring a change of outfit — many women change into something sexier as the night progresses

For men:

• Button-down shirt, either long or short sleeve
• Dress pants or dark jeans (check the specific venue's policy)
• Dress shoes — never sneakers
• A blazer adds polish without being try-hard
• Grooming: clean nails, trimmed beard, nice cologne (not too much)

General rules:

• When in doubt, overdress — you can always remove layers
• Avoid anything with logos or graphic prints
• Wear underwear you're proud of — you may end up in it
• Bring a robe if the venue has a pool or hot tub area

The most important thing you can wear is confidence.
