Everyone loves a wedding! You get to eat, drink, be merry — what’s not to love?! As we’ve all heard our fair share of bridezilla stories, it’s safe to say that preparing for the special day can come with its fair share of stressors. And you're just a guest! To avoid any bridal freakouts on the day of, Vicky and Lucas have put together a guide to wedding guest attire. Keep reading to find out how to stay on the bride’s good side.
First and foremost, if there is only one rule you take away from this guide, let it be this one...DON’T WEAR WHITE! This isn’t just a suggestion to consider. This is an iron-clad rule, punishable by death at some weddings! To avoid this major wedding fashion faux pas, check out Vicky and Lucas where they can put you in literally any other color of party dress.
A good idea when you receive a wedding invitation is to cultivate your look based on the colors of the invite. If that doesn’t work, try asking a member of the wedding party what the wedding colors are. This is for two reasons. One, you don't want to be mistaken for a bridesmaid. Two, you don’t want to be the only person in the pictures who is upstaging the bride by wearing bright red when the wedding colors are blue and silver. Try a beautiful party dress in a neutral color (not white) from Vicky and Lucas.
When it comes to weddings, each one is as individual as the couple getting married. There may be cultural entertainment, traditional dances, or religious ceremonies that you’ve never experienced before. Don’t worry; just roll with the punches. And for a party dress that will move with you, check out the new arrivals at Vicky and Lucas.
There’s always that one person at every wedding. That person must have grown up under a rock because they are wearing jeans...at a wedding! At least they left the Crocs at home this time. Don’t be the “crocs-wearing jeans guy” at the wedding. Find out the dress code, then check out the party dresses available at Vicky and Lucas.
Every wedding is different, and as a guest, you need to be willing to roll with whatever the happy couple has planned. Whether it is black tie or cocktail attire, follow these four rules to wedding guest attire, and you will be the exemplary wedding guest. Not the Crocs-wearing jeans guy. For a massive selection of appropriate wedding attire, check out Vicky and Lucas today.
]]>As the season begins to change, so does our wardrobe. We start to put away all the bright colors and floral patterns that speak to summer in favor of the warm earthy tones of fall. But how do you know what colors to build your autumn wardrobe around? Look no further because Vicky and Lucas have everything from women’s dresses to rompers and everything in between. Everything you need to create a chic, stylish look in the color palette that's right for you. Including these helpful color tips for four different skin tones
For all the gorgeous deep-skinned people out there, fall looks bold and powerful for you. You are drawing on deep and vibrant colors like cobalt to emphasize the rich tones of your deep skin, accented with pops of red and gold, the colors of royalty. Live your regal fantasy in the cobalt blue embroidered slim midi women’s dress by Vicky and Lucas. Add a sexy red shoe and some gold statement jewelry, and you will be serving Business Queen vibes all over the office. You deep-skinned beauty you!
Dark-skinned beauties get the best of both worlds this season by embracing the earthy tones of fall AND the bright summer vibes. Fuschia is one of the hottest colors this season, and it just so happens to look impressive against darker skin tones and the olive greens and creams of the season. The warmth of the olive green in this embroidered lace dress by Vicky and Lucas can be offset by adding pops of cool fuschia to the outfit via shoes and accessories. Finish the outfit off with a cream coat to have a look that's as naturally audacious as you are.
For the medium-skinned babes, you will be shining this season in the metallic silver trend. With the whole outfit being the statement, you want to keep accessories fairly neutral with this look. Start with a sexy stunner like the Zoe Metallic women’s dress from Vicky and Lucas. Layer it with a silver metallic moto zip jacket and some black combat boots and accessories for a stunning fall outfit that shines as bright as you do!
Last but not least are all the light-skinned lovelies with porcelain skin; think pastels and neutrals this fall. Embrace the warmth of the season with camels and the coolness of your skin tone with baby blue. Pair this adorable ruffle hem sheath dress by Vicky and Lucas with a camel coat for a classic fall look that will have you swooning.
Now that you are an expert in knowing what colors look best with your skin tone, it’s time to get out there and update that fall wardrobe. Whether you are looking for bold and bright or warm and neutral, women’s dress or pants outfit Vicky and Lucas has something for everyone.
]]>The pandemic has put a brake on the wedding industry but we are seeing signs of a comeback this year. Many weddings have been postponed, some even cancelled, but now due to the vaccinations and restrictions that have been lifted, the wedding business is likely to boom in the fall.
Venues, clothing stores, decor rental and event design companies have been restarting their business expecting a huge demand, many of them already facing a wave of requests.
It is a fun time for guests as well! What to wear at a wedding could be challenging although formality is the word that comes to mind first.
The first thing to do: get informed if there's any required dress code for the wedding you will attend unless this is mentioned on the invitation. If it is not, it would be a good idea to find out where the wedding will take place. Adapt your outfit to the environment and you will not be mistaken. Will the wedding happen in a hotel, on the beach, it is a garden, country house or lounge party ?
Whatever the dress code is, it is important to stay in line with your personality and not give in to clichés that do not suit you. Usually long formal dresses are the safest bet, but a stylish cocktail dress would be a good choice as well.
Keep in mind that you will spend some time wearing these clothes, so the comfort is something to consider. Some weddings are less formal than others; it is not unusual to see semi-formal attire on an invitation, although some guests could think jeans is an acceptable thing to wear to a wedding!
What about fabrics and colors? A fall wedding guest could choose among silk, crepe, satin or even velvet. You can try sapphire blue, ruby red and burgundy, amethyst purple or plum, and emerald green slightly bluish but more saturated colors such as pink or red will work too. Autumnal floral printed dresses might work too, mostly when the color palette includes deep orange, red, brown, green.
When it comes to budgeting, especially when attending multiple weddings, this can be a delicate issue. Hopefully there are some cost-effective solutions that combine quality with affordability.
Let’s take a look to a few options that can give you some ideas for any upcoming wedding event or even for a night out.

Let me tell you the story of one brand that I came across recently. There was a woman who loved dresses. She would always wear a dress regardless of the occasion or the weather. Even more, she would push her girlfriends to do the same. She supported her thesis saying that a dress makes a woman look a thousand times prettier. Therefore, one day she decided to create a clothing brand to fulfill her passion.
There was only one thing that was bigger than this woman’s love for dresses. It was her love for her children. She had two of them, a girl named Vicky and a little boy named Lucas. She decided to name her brand Vicky and Lucas.
Recently, I was passing by Beyond the Runway and had the chance not only to hear this story but also to try some of the Vicky and Lucas designs. I will give you my honest impressions of what I tried.
The first piece that I tried was the Polka dot V-neck Ruffle Hem A-line Dress. I loved it. It is so light and childish. It reminded me of the dresses that I used to wear when I was a little girl. I feel like it would fit any body type. Even more, I could imagine myself wearing it to completely different occasions. First, styling it with white sneakers could be a perfect outfit for a casual day downtown. On the other hand, when worn with a pair of my favourite Aldo high heel sandals, you would have a great look for a date night. The only problem I had with that dress was that it is downsized. I usually wear size small (or even extra small, depending on the style and brand), but here I had to go for a medium. |
The second dress that I tried was the Puff Sleeve Square Neck Contrast Denim Mini Dress. I will start with a heads up: I did not take it because the only size that was left was size medium, which was too big. Nevertheless, I wanted to mention it because I liked its design. Let me be honest, as soon as a piece of clothing says “denim”, there is a 99% of chance that I will like it, so my opinion might be just a little bias. However, this dress had something more, I was impressed by how it combined the casual denim style with more elegant features. The pearl buttons and the puffy flowered sleeves gave that dress a unique charm. I would style it with white sneakers and go out shopping! |
The third dress that I came across was the Short Sleeve Printed Lace Long Dress. I usually do not wear long dresses, but this one looks great on me. It felt very light and made me look very feminine. I liked that the dress was half transparent starting from the knees making it more unique. The belt highlighted my waist giving me an hourglass shape. I would style it with some high heel sandals and wear them to a nice seashore restaurant. |
The next dress that I tried was the Shirt Collar Shirt Dress. Once I had it on, I felt like Beth from the Queen’s Gambit. It is very simple and classy, just like the heroine from the mentioned Netflix series. I would style it with some black leather loafers and wear them to university or a study date! |
Last, but not least was the Long Sleeve Sequin Mermaid Maxi Dress. That dress was something phenomenal! It is one of the classiest and most elegant dresses that I have ever tried. It is sparkling, but not too sparkling. It is sexy, but very far from being vulgar. But unfortunately, it is not a summer dress. I will have to wait until the Christmas Holidays to glow at the New Year’s party! |

There are many different factors that go into looking your best.

If you have a deeper skin tone, you can’t go wrong with bright, bold colors such as cobalt, yellow, and red. When you pair these rich tones with your skin color, both are sure to pop, giving you an amazing glow. Consider choosing a statement piece such as a blouse or a necklace that you can pair with neutral tones to really make that piece pop.
Those with dark skin need a color that will beautifully complement their gorgeous skin tone, which is why we recommend olive green, cream, or magenta. When you wear these colors, they really help bring out the richness of your skin tone, making you look as though you have a glow about you. As an added bonus, utility colors, such as olive green and cream, are extremely popular at the moment, giving you even more of a reason to wear them!
If you have medium skin, then you know the struggle of finding clothes that don’t make you look too pale. Lighter colored clothing, such as a canary yellow or baby blue, can make you look washed out, which is why we recommend dressing in slightly darker tones. Metallic, dove gray, and neon colors are perfect for your skin tone, as they complement the color without making you look too pale!
When you have light skin, the key is to complement your fair skin tone without making you look even more washed out. For this reason, we recommend wearing baby blue, camel, and seafoam. These colors are lighter, but they won’t wash you out. Instead, they will complement the color of your skin and give you a stunning glow.

One tip that you should always keep in mind when dressing for a wedding is to wear layers. Even if it’s the hottest day of the summer, it’s never a bad idea to have a cardigan or a wrap that you can put on later at night, especially if the ceremony is outside. Wedding receptions typically last well into the night, and the last thing you want is to have to spend the last half of the night freezing. For this reason, it’s never a bad idea to layer up!
It’s a well-known rule that a wedding guest should never wear white to a wedding. In fact, it pretty much goes without saying that the only one who is allowed to wear white is the bride. It’s the bride and groom’s special day, and you don’t want other people to think you’re trying to compete with the bride for attention. You may think a dress is okay because it only has a little white on it, but a good rule of thumb is to stay away from that color as much as possible.
The bride and groom typically choose a dress code for their wedding, from dressy casual to white tie. When you receive the invitation to the wedding it will state what kind of dress code to expect so that you know how to dress for the event. It’s important to take this dress code into consideration when choosing your outfit for the wedding so that you don’t accidentally dress too formal or too casual and stick out like a sore thumb.
Along the same lines of adhering to the dress code, you also want to make sure you don’t dress too casual for the wedding. Even if the invitation says that the theme is casual, that doesn’t mean you should show up to the wedding in sweatpants or jeans and a t-shirt. When you attend a wedding with a casual dress code, you should still do your best to look nice.

When wearing neutrals, you don’t have to always wear a monochromatic outfit. Although this is super stylish, consider mixing neutral colors such as white, nude, beige, khaki, grey, olive and black. Having these staple colours in your wardrobe will allow for endless outfit options.
It is super simple to enhance a neutral outfit when mixing textures. Picture this: white jeans with a beige knit top or leather pants and flowy blouse. Cute right?!
The last thing we want our outfit to look like is sloppy. Dress for your body type and play with structure. If your bottom is loose say flowy pants or a skirt, wear a structured fitted top or if you’re wearing tailored pants pair it with a flowy blouse. The options are infinite!
Not all neutral outfits have to be plain! You can always dress up your outfit with embroidery or studs.
For a fresh fall look, why not look chic wearing these creative dresses where classic meets modern? They are going to wonderfully match up with just about everything.
Elevate a neutral outfit with accessories and footwear whether it’s a designer bag or booties. Don’t forget jewelry makes every outfit better! If you have the itch for some colour, this is a great way to incorporate it.
]]>It's not the case with the denim fashion and outfits. Since 1873 when the denim jeans have been invented the indigo dyed pants traveled the world to become an iconic piece of clothing and a cultural symbol and sometimes even a sign of rebellion.
Gone are the days when the denim was synonymous with the famous blue pants. Jean jackets, dresses, hats, socks, bags, ties, coats, shoes popped up along the years. Fashion designers put all their creativity at work and this is quite visible all around us, in stores, on TV, Internet, movies, fashion magazines.
From more classical pieces to surprising new models the world of denim is continuously updating itself transcending the years still dazzling generation after generation revealing its timeless nature.
Denim fashion was able to borrow from almost all popular styles: embroidery, vintage, rebel, classic, shifting from skinny silhouettes to more comfortable styles and the range of styles seems unlimited.
