Show Some Vintage Sexiness!
It's just over a week away and it's one of the best events to rock the city each year- Bravo Bravo! You've got your tickets, you're ready to dance there's just one problem... you don't have a clue what to wear!

Never fear, we've got some great ideas to make sure you'll be showing up in all the party pictures with your stylish look.

The theme this year is 1920s chic. This means anything paying homage to the era of Flappers and Fedoras is a definite plus. Hit one of the many incredible vintage stores around town such as Paris, Flair and Lost and Found Vintage and scope out some styles for both men and women.

Guys, one of the hottest looks on a man is a sexy fedora and waistcoat vest. Rock out that look with a funky tie and you will have the ladies swooning all night long. If you can't find what you need at one of the vintage shops check out the Annex in Birmingham for some great hats, accessories and more. Or hit up Caruso Caruso or L'Uomo Vogue. You'll be sure to find the perfect blend of themed chic and current style.

Show Some Style
Ladies, if the flapper look just isn't for you but you still want to pay homage to the theme then pick up one of the many stylish tiered dresses that are in at the moment. Visit Chrome or Vintage Prodigy in Royal Oak, Lexi Drew in Birmingham or Essence in West Bloomfield.

Want to be completely modern? You'll see an array of styles at the event. Guys can still rock the denim, shirt and sport coat look but most guys will be a little more dressed up. Chances are you will be on the dance floor and you will get hot so keep that in mind before putting on a full suit. A dress shirt, pants and loosened tie is always a hit.

Go All Out!
Ladies it will be all about the dress. Cocktail attire and flowy party dresses will abound. This is the perfect night to pull out that bright red number you've been dying to wear. This is the night to premiere your hottest look. Rock some sassy stilettos but remember the event goes from 7:30-midnight and you'll want to stay for the whole thing so be sure you're comfortable.
