Worried that wearing jeans to a party might make you look too casual? Clinton says the trick is all in the type of color you wear.
His tip: The darker, the better.

"You can't go wrong there, whether it's a casual or a dressier party."
2.) A Black Knit Jacket
A jacket is always a great way to add sophistication to your party look; but if you're worried about taking things too far, Clinton says wearing a black knit jacket will keep things on an even playing field.
"The jacket sort of says that you're a little bit dressed up," he says; however, wearing a knit jacket will also give you that comfy, cozy look."
