Learning About Buenos Aires’ Signature Styles
.
Accessory style tip:
Statement necklace + shirt + straight pants
For example, if you want to bring attention to your upper body and face, wear straight pants and a buttoned up shirt in similar dark colors to elongate your figure, and add a short necklace in colors that bring out your eyes.
Signature three: Hollywood-style party dresses
Buenos Aires has an astonishing number of stores selling high-end super dressy party dresses, I mean, the long-gauze-sequin-red-carpet-like dresses that you expect to see in Beverly Hills. This reflects the style standard for weddings and any celebration that takes place in a nice reception hall (quinceñeras, bar/bat mitzvah, wedding anniversaries, important birthdays).
While suits are the standard for men on these occasions, for women top-of-the-line gowns are de rigueur. Clothes have the power to transform, and it can be great fun to build a look around a formal gown (it is a great fun for me!). If you want to go all dressy, get yourself invited to a party in Buenos Aires and go shopping there!
Party dress style tip:
Party dress + comfortable party shoes + subtle accessories
Choose a dress of a color and cut that suits your body (there are dresses for every body), pair it with dressy open tow shoes that have good support, and top the look up with thin long earrings or a shawl depending on the venue and time of year.
