How to Dress for a Casino Themed Party

Casino patrons come from many different backgrounds and eras.

Dress for a casino-themed party based on the fashion that is reflected in the invitations. Some examples of styles that you may encounter at these types of events include a Queen of Hearts style, 1920s speakeasy, high-rolling Vegas feel, or even a western gambling saloon. Guests attending these get-togethers must show up in character to really get into the ambiance of the night and feel like they stepped into another world.

Instructions

Women

1. 

   Tailor your outfit to reflect a gambling girl.

   Dress in a red velvet gown for a Queen of Hearts theme, a little black dress for a high-roller evening, or a flapper beaded ensemble for a '20s speakeasy party. Choose a sexy cowgirl or saloon girl costume if you are attending a western event.

2. Put on diamonds or pearls if you are going for a sophisticated look. For a whimsical appearance put in earrings in the shape of dice and wear a charm bracelet for good luck.

3. Apply the sexy smoky-eye look if you are wearing an elegant or sensual ensemble. Go heavy on the eye makeup and red lips, for a more costumed appearance.

4. Put on shoes that match your casino party dress. Wear high fashion stilettos as a high-rolling girlfriend or flapper girl, or show off funky boots if you turn up as the Queen of Hearts or a cowgirl sidekick.

Men

1. 

   The whole point of a casino-themed party is to have fun with character fashion.

   Dress in a tuxedo for a high-roller style, a striped suit for a '20s gangster, a leather vest and tight pair of jeans for an Old West theme or a King of Hearts costume to match your Queen. Throw on a colorful shirt that has gambling designs on it if you are not into head-to-toe ensembles.

2. Put on a hat to match the rest of your outfit. A cowboy hat, old-fashioned derby gangster hat, crown or top hat can make your ensemble complete.

3. Wear accessories that finish off the whole look of your character. Gold-chained pocket watches, a single red rose in a lapel or even a leather holster with fake side arms can make you feel the part.
