Due to the different preferences of the protagonists of the quinceañera, the styles of quinceañeras are also different nowadays. Many quinceañeras nowadays are even like theme parties. However, although people are more tolerant of the clothes at the quinceañera, there are still some universally applied and unbreakable dress taboos. If you want to stay decent throughout the quinceañera, or maintain friendship with the friend who invited you, then please pay attention to these dress taboos!

First of all, the most important thing is that the clothes cannot be dirty or damaged. Your attire can largely reflect how much you value this quinceañera. Even if you are limited in ability and cannot create particularly beautiful and charming outfits, you should at least keep your clothes clean and tidy. In addition, it is also not acceptable to dress too casually. Imagine what it would be like if you were wearing pajamas and slippers among a group of peers wearing evening gowns and suits. You will definitely be the one who doesn't fit in.

Secondly, clothes that are in too dark shades are not a good choice. The quinceañera is an event to share joy with relatives and friends, so both the interior decoration and the guests' clothing need to be colorful. If you wear all black, it will look very strange and depressing. Therefore, when choosing clothes, please choose clothes win warm tones and rich colors as much as possible.

Although many young people today do not mind wearing miniskirts and crop tops to attend their own or their friends' quinceañeras, it is better not to dress too revealingly. Overly revealing clothing is also considered impolite and it is also not suitable for activities such as dancing.

In addition, there might be some unique customs in certain specific countries or ethnic groups. For example, Japanese quinceañeras usually require guests to wear kimonos. If your ethnic group or country has already set a dress code for quinceañeras, it is better to follow it rather than break it unless there is a special reason.

So you must have thought about it many times, what should you wear on your quinceañera to ensure that you are decent and stunning?

The most frequently seen and the safest choice must be a silk evening gown. Nothing represents luxury and elegance more than a silk evening gown. You can choose the color and style according to your own preferences. Whether it is with lace, ruffles or puff sleeves, it will make you look extremely elegant and charming. If you would like to highlight your feminine charm, choose a gathered-waist one. If you prefer some special and eye-catching designs, you may choose an off the shoulder one or one with asymmetrical hem. Imagine the scene that the silk fabric sparkling under the light, making you look dignified.

If you are fascinated by the hot girl style, then you can also choose a mini dress. Especially for petite girls, a mini dress is much more friendly than a floor-length evening gown. What’s more, if you have perfect leg lines, a mini dress can fully demonstrate your advantages. But remember what we have mentioned in the previous section, do not choose a mini dress that is too short and too revealing.

A bohemian-style maxi dress is also a great choice, especially when you want to make your quinceanera a casual, holiday-style party. A flowing floral dress embellished with long tassels will make you look both pretty and relaxed.

In addition, you can also try plenty of clothes that may seem a bit awkward for daily wear, but are just right for the quinceanera, such as a slit long skirt, a one-shoulder jumpsuit, etc. You can also design the style of the quinceanera according to your own preferences, such as Gothic style, retro style, etc., which will make your quinceanera unique and unforgettable.

In addition to your own quinceanera, you are also likely to be invited to attend the quinceanera of a friend, relative, or classmate. Of course, the dress codes as a guest and as the main character will be very different when attending a quinceanera. At least, when you are a guest, you cannot dress too exaggeratedly and gorgeously so as to steal the limelight from the protagonist.

The dressing taboos mentioned in the first section also apply to guests attending the quinceanera, that is, they cannot wear clothes that are too revealing, too casual, or dirty. In addition, the main factors that guests should consider when matching their clothes include: the formality of the clothes, the degree of fit with the theme, and not being too gorgeous so as not to steal the limelight from the protagonist. Here are some outfit tips for guests attending a quinceanera:

Guests can also choose dresses. A dress that is knee-length or just above the knee is a good choice. For example, a dress in the style of a cocktail dress can be made of silk and can be in soft pink, light blue or classic black, white, etc. If the quinceanera is held in a more formal setting, such as a hotel banquet hall, a dress with sequins or lace details will be more appropriate and can show an elegant temperament. Of course, guests can also choose evening gowns. Evening dresses with decorative elements such as tulle and pleats will not look particularly ostentatious. However, the large and layered gorgeous princess dresses should be reserved for the protagonist. It is obviously inappropriate for guests to wear such a dress.

In addition, guests do not have to choose dresses, as long as the attire can express their value of this quinceanera. Female guests can also choose a blazer. Nowadays, a popular way to dress it is to choose an oversized blazer as a dress. This way of dressing is formal but not too stiff, and at the same time very creative. For suits, you can choose slim-fitting styles with calm colors, such as dark gray, navy blue, etc. You can wear a silk shirt inside with a small bow tied at the collar to add a sense of refinement.

In fact, it is not necessary to carry plenty of accessories such as jewelry during daily commuting, but on a grand occasion like a quinceanera, whether it is your own or your friend's, you need more accessories to complete your entire look.

When it comes to jewelry, you need to consider everything from head to toe. For head wear, you can wear a headband, a pearl hairpin, etc. You need at least one pair of earrings and a neck piece. Pearl earrings are a classic and versatile choice, and long earrings are suitable for clothing with deeper necklines.

If the ceremony is held indoors, then a hat is not necessary. On the contrary, wearing a hat will cover your carefully selected beautiful hair accessories. However, if the ceremony is held outdoors, especially at noon in summer, a hat is a must-wear accessory, otherwise you will be very uncomfortable under the sun. If you want more decoration, you can put flowers or feathers on the hat, or wrap a ribbon around the hat.

If the quinceanera is held indoors and provides seats, high heels are the most suitable shoes to match the dresses. However, if the quinceanera is held outdoors on lawn or other places where high heels are not suitable, it is better to choose flat-soled exquisite leather shoes or sandals.

Cross body bags of various styles are also a good choice. You can choose a simple solid color leather cross body bag, such as black, white, beige and other basic colors, which can be matched with dresses in various colors. It is convenient and practical. Exquisite clutches are more suitable for evening gowns for the quinceanera. The colors can be champagne, silver and other classic colors, and they are very versatile.
