An engagement party sits between a dinner and a wedding. Smart and celebratory, a shade below what you would wear to the wedding itself. Cold weather is about layers you can shed indoors: a knit under an overcoat does more for warmth and polish than one thicker piece. Read the room before you read your wardrobe: the same day can want a sharper or a softer answer depending on who you are seeing, and the middle is usually the safer place to land.
- Save the full formal look for the wedding day.
- The innermost layer is the one people see; make it a good one.
- Pick the palette before the pieces. Two neutrals and one accent rarely fails.
