How to Dress for a Fashion Show


Whether you’re a fashionista or not, you’ll be really conscious about what you’re going to wear when you’re attending a fashion show. Think of all the people attending this 10 to 20 minute event, showcasing the news designs of the season, and how they’re going to look at what you’re wearing. If you’re lucky enough to be invited to one of these events, maybe by the designer or a friend who works  for one of the  modeling agencies in New York City, and you’re having a hard time deciding what to wear, here are a few tips.
How to Dress for a Fashion Show
Know the show

Is it some top brand show for fashion week or an indie fashion designer who’s just starting up his or her clothing line? You don’t want to go too overdressed or too underdressed, so it’s important to know what type of clothes you should wear so it blends in with the feel of the show. Some organizers also ask the audience to attend wearing a specific dress code while others just want you to show up as casually dressed as possible.

Shoes matter

No matter what you’re wearing on top, your shoes need to be comfortable. Although most fashion shows will let you sit in front of the cat walk, you might be spending a lot of time talking and socializing before and after the show. You might end up regretting wearing those killer shoes because they get uncomfortable after some time standing around. You can also carry around something more comfortable in your bag, just in case you need to change.

No to shinny accessories

The models will hate you for wearing something distracting that could cause them to fall off. It’s already bad enough that they have to face the harsh, hot and bright lighting on the stage and the constant flashes of cameras. If you don’t want to end up outshining the designer’s clothes, try not to wear something that reflex too much light. It’s distracting and annoying.

When in doubt, go for classic

You can never go wrong with picking out classic pieces of clothes and designs. Sure they don’t really stand out as much, but it’s not overdressing or underdressing. Classic designs are also perfect for these situations because you can never go wrong with them.

You might not be dressed up like one of the runway models from modeling agencies in New York City, but you can definitely say that you have a good fashion sense. Follow these tips and have fun at the fashion show.
