Attire Details: What is Tropical Chic / Art Deco Glamour?

- Our Flamingo Flair Summer Soirée is the perfect excuse to dress up, have fun, and express your unique style! We encourage guests to embrace:
  Tropical Chic:
  - Vibrant colors: think corals, pinks, leafy greens, turquoise, yellows, or bold floral patterns
  - Lightweight, breezy fabrics such as linen, cotton, or silk
  - Sundresses, cocktail dresses, dressy jumpsuits, or flowy skirts for women
  - Linen or lightweight dress shirts, patterned button-downs, polos, or sport coats for men
  - Accessorize with statement jewelry, tropical prints, bold earrings, fun clutches, and floral ties
  - Comfortable, stylish shoes (especially for walking outdoors at Milestones Barn!)
  Art Deco Glamour:
  - Elegant, vintage-inspired shapes and patterns: sequins, beading, geometric designs, metallics
  - Black, gold, and jewel tones are perfect for Art Deco flair
  - Dress up your look with pearls, sparkly headbands, bow ties, or feathers as a nod to 1920s sophistication
  - Outer layers: shawls, light wraps, dressy blazers add polish if the evening cools
  General Tips:
  - Mix and match elements! A tropical dress with Deco-inspired accessories (or vice versa) is absolutely on-theme.
  - Dress to impress and have fun—this is your excuse to sparkle!
  - There will be both indoor and outdoor spaces; bring a light layer or jacket just in case.
  Have fun with your outfit and get ready for a night of color, glamour, and celebration. We can’t wait to see your creativity shine at the soirée!
