How to dress properly for a dance or night club.
Ladies
For the warmer months consider a spaghetti-strap top, or maybe something cropped or backless if you feel you can pull it off.Not all of us dare to go bare.Try dusting exposed parts of your body with glitter to add just a hint of sparkle.
If you're wearing open-toed shoes, please get a pedicure as needed.
If all else fails, the old stand-by - a simple yet sexy black dress is always appropriate.
Gentlemen
Be sure that if you choose to wear facial hair it is well trimmed, neat, and even! Nothing turns a woman off faster than a man who doesn't pay attention to the little details.
Suits are always the way to go.However, a suit you would wear to work may not necessarily be good for the nightlife.
If you're not the suit-wearing type, a nice button-down shirt with dressy slacks, khakis, or darker-toned pants are good.Silk shirts are nice but keep in body heat like a sauna suit, so wearers beware. Remember to wear shoes that are comfortable, dark in color and clean.
A simple manicure never hurt anyone.
And my all time pet peeve, PLEASE do not put on white socks with dark colored shoes.
The old saying, "You shouldn't judge a book by its cover" does not always apply to the club scene. Ladies - leave a little to the imagination.I have had many men sit at my bar and voice that they often find that sexier.And for the men, often the gentlemanly direct approach with a simple smile is the best attire you can sport.Just always remember what you wear will determine who or what may be attracted to you and what they have in mind.
Fashionable Attire Head to Toe for All
Make sure your hair looks clean and groomed. Nothing looks worse than someone with bad hair.Whether you have straight hair, curls, a crew cut, dreads, an afro or a mohawk, make sure you use some gel or hairspray if called for and your locks are done right.
Shower, shower, shower.There is nothing more offensive than someone who has bad body odor and hasn't even danced one song yet.Use plenty of antiperspirant/deodorant combo.A little powder never hurt to help absorb sweat and smells from those other closely guarded areas of the body either.
Breath is often forgotten when making a fashionable appearance.Brush your teeth and gargle with mouthwash. Toooften people fail to realize most bad breath comes from germs on your tongue so give that a hearty brushing too.Carrying mint or cinnamon gum is a big plus.The sugar in sweet drinks can often bring on the bad breath as well.
Anticipate getting hot from dancing. Wear fabrics that are sweat-friendly: rayon, nylon and polyester blends are good as they allow you to breathe and sweat doesn't stain as easily.
When it's cold outside, wear a sweater or long-sleeved jacket that can be taken off.
An absolute must is comfortable shoes for dancing the night away.
