Practical Fashion – Going Out In Style

After all, nobody likes the person who stands by the wall afraid to bust a move for fear of a few spillages. Let yourself go once in a while and you won’t regret it.

Not only are they great at concealing any accidents that may happen but they’re also extremely classic and versatile colours. Black and grey are particularly good because they are quintessential evening wear shades that look even better under artificial lighting:

4. Refocus On Your Basics

Simplicity is often the most elegant form of sophistication.
