Garden Kitty Party Dress Code

Thu August 15, 2013 by Kunal Bansal

Usually given in spring and summer, garden kitty parties have guests wearing everything from khaki pants and a seersucker shirt to candy-colored dresses. Here are some of the ideas for dress code in garden theme kitty parties for female and male.


Female - Floral patterns, pastel hues or bright colors work well in the garden setting. Wear a silk or gauzy blouse with softly tailored shorts, streamlined pants or capris, or a ruffled or flowy skirt. Add a textured belt and wear a colorful pair of flats for walking with ease. Be careful about wearing heels, especially if you know you'll be walking on grass. Top the outfit with a floppy straw or delicately woven hat, a pair of tortoise sunglasses or a printed head scarf. Make sure to paint your nails with a coordinating color.


Male - The goal for men's attire is lightweight, pastel or bright in color and on the conservative side. Wear slacks or dressy shorts in khaki, chocolate, white, navy blue or slate, and make sure to wear a belt. Pair these with a short-sleeved polo, button down shirt or a long-sleeved Oxford with the sleeves rolled up. If the occasion calls for it, add a lightweight tweed jacket or blazer. Complete the look with thin-soled, canvas tennis shoes, a brown leather sandal, boat shoe or a lace-up wing tip. Also add tasteful, small jewelry such as a chrome watch, gold bracelet or classic yet trendy eye wear.
