'Sucker Punch' Stars and Guests Put the Formal in Informal

“Should I go casual or fancy,” you ask yourself before departing for a Tuesday night dinner at a well-known restaurant.

If you take cues from celebrities who attended the NYLON 12th Anniversary Celebration hosted by the stars of Sucker Punch, you will notice that you don’t need to go one way or the other; evening wear can be made appropriate for casual events.

Men like Daren Kagasoff, DeVaughn Nixon, and Drew Roy layered trendy hooded and leather jackets over plaid button ups and cotton tees, while women like Samaire Armstrong, Vanessa Hudgens, and Abbie Cornish wore everything from jeans and boots to dresses with heels.

Men, try this Ash Field Coat from NeedSupply.com over a Common Projects X Robert Geller button up shirt. Or go with the T by Alexander Wang Leather Trim Bomber Jacket with a James Perse Vintage Short Sleeve Crew underneath. Finish the ensemble with a classic dark jean, like Levi’s 501 Originals or LRG’s Skinny Fit Jean and a pair of Clark’s Desert Boots.

Women may opt for the jeans, boots and top, or they could throw on a dress and add a few simple accessories. Actress Vanessa Hudgens went with a white dress, Jimmy Choo Tube clutch, Pollini heels, Ben-Amun spike necklace and a Le Vian ring. For a similar look, try the Halston Heritage Dolman Sash Dress with beige Christian Louboutin Platform Pumps, a detailed metal cuff and the JJ Winters Clutch in Bone Croco. Or, since Crop tops are going to be big this summer, break the trend out early with a Knitted Cream Slouchy Crop Top
from Top Shop. Then throw on a pair of black Hudson Chesire Skinny Jeans with Alexander Wang Dakota Lace Up Booties, and a vintage black leather clutch.

So whether you're stopping by a friend's party or going to a hip new restaurant opening, remember that you can look casual and event-worthy all in one night, and all in one outfit. Check out what all of the party attendees were wearing at Nylon.com.
