Dress Code | New Neon Dresses and Retro Print Party Frocks for Your Next Event

An event like a wedding or birthday party is such a great excuse to buy a new dress. Follow the dress code but make sure your new dress isn’t a one-hit-wonder. Choose a versatile solid color dress in one of this season’s newest neon colors. Do you prefer prints? THIS NEW POST will show you the trick to picking a popular print dress for 2023 that also suits your style. In this post, I’ll show you more than one way to wear print versus neutral dresses. You can’t go wrong with a little black dress or an equally versatile white one.

Start with a solid color that works with your skin tone and is a flattering fit for your body type, not just Beyonce’s. Neon pink looks good on most women. Check out this style from Farm Rio.

Farm Rio is usually known for its bold prints, but this solid color style has such flattering lines you don’t need much more than a great pair of nude shoes and simple updated jewelry.


My Personal Pick for 2023



Belts and Blazers

The most flattering layer over any of these dresses is a lightweight white blazer. This one from L’agence is my favorite and comes in a super cool white-on-white version this year. If you want the look for less try this one from Amazon I shared here in my white blazer video review.

A solid color dress makes the perfect backdrop for a designer chain belt. Don’t be sticker shocked because, like your dress, these belts can do double duty…as a necklace! Check it out HERE.

Here’s how to wear a print dress in just as many ways as you would a solid. It helps if you choose a fabric and style that’s easy to dress up or down like these.


Dress Code for Day

You can give your dress a more casual vibe by trading out your classic nude shoes and polished blazer for wedges and a wrap or vest. If you’re not a fan of a bold multicolor print try a subtler two-tone version instead. See how you can mix print dresses like these and like Emily in Paris HERE.
