How To Dress Fashionably At A Casino Party, Parties & Clubs This December

A night out at the casino is great for dressing up to the nines and having a tonne of fun with your party. The lifestyle is very glamorous so it’s important that you are dressed properly for the occasion. 

When you look good, you feel good, making the experience that much better. And if you manage to win while you’re there, that’s the cherry on top of the cake.

Here are some tips to show you how to dress fashionably at a casino party.

Casino Party Menswear

Men should wear fitted clothes at the casino. No matter how nice the outfit is, it will not look good if it doesn’t fit properly. Therefore, all clothes must fit correctly across the shoulder and at the waist. Sleeves and trouser length must match your height too. If you can’t find the perfect fit, there are many places that can alter your clothes so they will be just right for the big night out.

Some casinos require black-tie. In this case, you need your absolute best clothes. You will require a black tuxedo, plain white shirt and a black bow tie. Cummerbands are also acceptable. If you don’t have your own, head to a formalwear store and rent one for the night. They will measure you here to get you the right fit.

If your casino requires formalwear, wear a suit and tie. It doesn’t have to be as fancy as your black-tie outfit but you should still be smart. If it’s semi formal, you can avoid the tie altogether but still wear a blazer.

Now, for shoes, these should always match how formal your outfit is. Ideally, the color of your shoes should complement the color of your suit ie black shoes for black suits, brown shoes for brown suits, and so on.

Lucian Marinescu, partner at Online Casino Gems frequently attends formal parties at casinos in Vegas and Monte Carlo. Here’s his advice: “It’s a good idea to have a backup outfit in mind just in case. In the days leading up the casino party, some key elements to your outfit may get damaged, or you may just change your mind on the first-choice outfit altogether. With a backup outfit, you have a replacement at the ready.”

As with menswear, women should also wear fitted clothes at the casino. According to Gamblers Daily Digest, the more high-dollar a casino is, the nicer you should dress.

No matter how nice the outfit is though, it will not look good if it doesn’t fit properly. Therefore, all clothes must fit correctly across the shoulder and at the waist. Sleeves, skirt, dress and trouser length must match your height too. If you can’t find the perfect fit, there are many places that can alter your clothes so they will be just right for the big night out.

For black-tie events, you don’t have to be as strict as men but you still need to wear your best outfits. Dress in a floor-length gown made from either silk, velvet or satin. Avoid materials like cotton and linen as much as you can. You can choose almost any color you like, but the classics like black, white, neutral and jewel tones tend to be the best for these occasions.

For other formal occasions, cocktail dresses or tea-length dresses should do the trick nicely. Tuxedo-style pantsuits will also work well on this occasion. For the color, again, black is a very popular choice but you can choose any color you like. Remember, casinos are a great place to dress fashionably so don’t be afraid to throw in some sequins or beads into your outfit. 

Now, for shoes, need to make sure you’re comfortable. For black-tie and formal events, you should wear pumps, heeled sandals or flats. If your outfit is on the more relaxed-formal side, you may be able to get away with some boots or strappy sandals. If you’re buying new shoes for this casino party, try walking in them at the shop before you buy.

In terms of accessories, casinos are amazing for bringing out your best jewellery and other items you don’t get to wear at other events. Have fun with it! Statement necklaces, rings and fancy hair clips are encouraged.

And of course, it’s a great idea to have a backup outfit if something makes you change your mind in the days up to the party.

How To Get Dressed For A Casino Party

No matter if your tuxedo was hand-made by Tom Ford himself, it’s still going to look awful if it’s covered in creases and wrinkles to shreds. And as mentioned by Gambling News Magazine, there is a certain etiquette you must follow.

Therefore, it’s vital that you press or steam your outfit before you put it on. If you haven’t got the time, take it to a dry cleaner a few days before the party so it’s ready for when you need it. If you decide to take care of it yourself, make sure you read the labels so you don’t ruin the outfit.

It’s also a good idea to keep it hung up until you’re ready to get dressed. Avoid storing it inside a stuffed closet where the risks of creases increase dramatically. Otherwise, you’ll have to steam or iron it all over again.

Next, make sure that your shoes are polished. This is particularly important for men as shoes are the only suitable footwear for dressing fashionably for a casino party. Make sure your polish matches the color of your shoes (this may seem obvious but the opposite happens all the time). If you are unsure about this, take your shoes to a cobbler or high-end shoe store where they can sort the treatment out for you. Always check for scuffs before you put them on too.

Finally, ensure that you’re wearing your clothes correctly. If you don’t wear this kind of attire often, it’s easy enough to get it wrong. For men, new dress pants and vests will always have the pockets sewn up so cut them carefully before you leave. You should also never do-up the bottom button on your tuxedo jacket. For women, check for an exposed bra strap or undone buttons and zippers. Bunched up fabric should be unbunched to the best of your ability.
