What should I wear to a birthday party? How to dress well without “overdoing it”? Are there clothes to put aside? Any must-haves? Before you start rummaging through your wardrobe or embarking on a shopping spree, read this handy guide to what to wear to a birthday party!
You've been invited to a birthday party and don't know what to wear? It's happened to all of us, and that's why we're writing this. In this article, you'll find a range of outfits for the perfect look for your event - and a few tips that could prove invaluable. All set? Let's get started!
Birthday outfits for men
Men are often overlooked when it comes to fashion for special occasions, and birthday outfits are no exception. Fear not, fashion-conscious gentlemen: we've got some style tips for you too! Let's get started right away.
The Suit
Luckily for you men, dressing in classy manners isn't difficult. You'll always look hot in a suit and tie no matter what. Just remember that the darker the suit, the more formal it looks.
For a birthday celebration in the warmer months, don't be afraid to play with colors and textures. Light-colored suits and lighter fabrics, such as linen and cotton blends, are ideal for the kind of weather you can expect in the summer. Finish the look with a patterned tie and you're ready to go!
Blazer and Chino
You don't necessarily have to wear a full suit for your event. Chino pants and a well-cut blazer, with a long-sleeved button-down shirt or fine-knit sweater underneath, are a great casual option.
Earthy or blue tones work well for spring and summer, and you won't go wrong pairing a navy blazer with beige pants or a patterned blazer with neutral-colored pants.
Accessories
On your feet, opt for a fine pair of lace-up shoes or moccasins in black, brown or tan leather, to harmonize your overall look. And don't forget to polish them before you go out: worn-out shoes won't make the rest of your outfit stand out!
Finish off your look with a watch. A stainless steel model or one with a leather strap and a light-colored dial will suit any outfit. And one last thing: sneakers aren't for a birthday party, when you want to look your best.
Birthday outfits for women
Let's start with outfits for women. If you're a man looking for the perfect outfit, we suggest you go a little further down to read our tips!
A dress
The surest way to make a splash and look your best is undoubtedly to wear a dress to the birthday party you've been invited to. If it's a daytime party in the summer season, we advise you to opt for light tones and airy fabrics. Mid-length dresses are perfect for this, and pastel tones will be your best friend!
For a daytime birthday party:
Plain-colored dresses are a definite choice, unless you opt for an “of-the-moment” pattern or print such as florals or animal prints, which are a hit wherever we go. Floral or plaid dresses are our second favorite after plain ones. The choice is yours...
While three-quarter length or long-sleeved dresses are ideal for keeping warm on overcast days, sleeveless or one-shoulder dresses are also ideal - just slip a cardigan over your shoulders to keep warm! Just remember to bring a light coat, shawl or blazer to keep your shoulders warm just in case...
For an Evening Birthday:
Lace and satin clothing are perfect choices for evening birthday occasions! They're the clothes you choose for a sexy look, and sometimes that's what you want for the perfect outfit.
It's not always easy to find “the right dress”, but don't panic, we're here to help! Start by designing the cut of your dress. Do you want a very short dress for a sexy style, a mid-length dress for a committed look, or a long dress for extraordinary elegance? Then it's time to choose the color. Flashy shades like red are great for a glamorous look, while black is our favorite for its elegance. And white and very light tones are perfect for summer! The choice is yours. 🥰
A Jumpsuit
If a dress isn't ideal for you, a jumpsuit will be the dream outfit for the birthday party you're invited to. Jumpsuits come in all cuts and colors, with or without sleeves. They have the incredible power to fit all body types. It's your style's most powerful weapon!
- Ideally, your jumpsuit should be cinched at the waist to show off your curves.
- A short-sleeved suit is more suitable for a long day (or evening). It will be more comfortable than a long-sleeved model and, of course, more breathable.
- Choose a solid color! Choosing a one-color jumpsuit is a great way to show off your style and make a good impression. And colors don't go out of style, unlike patterns, which can last a season before disappearing off the radar.

A Skirt
We're big fans of skirts! They tend to be far removed from the wardrobes but there's no way we're not going to recommend them! Why not? Because they're ultra-elegant women's clothing that hasn't lost any of its charm, even decades after its creation.
Whether you choose your skirt with a matching or contrasting top, you'll be won over by your outfit within seconds of putting it on. Short-sleeved tops are just as ideal as long-sleeved ones to accompany your skirt. A blouse is also a good option - it's up to you!
Just remember that, whatever separates you choose, it's best to keep the top plain, simple and loose-fitting for a simpler style. A patterned, pleated midi skirt and a plain, form-fitting top are one way to show off your style on the birthday.
Jewelry and Bags
The addition of sparkling accessories can really make an otherwise simple outfit stand out. Jewelry is a great way to highlight your outfit and make you stand out from the crowd. Whether it's earrings, necklaces or anything else, jewelry is your best ally in making a statement. Wearing a watch is, of course, a must to dress up your wrists.
