A handful of celebrities have embraced the headline-making power of the wardrobe malfunction—at award shows, red carpet appearances, performances and more. But while the occasional nip slip may have helped revive the career of a star or two, these sartorial slip-ups tend to be a little less exciting (promising? lucrative?) for the rest of us mere mortals, especially when Instagram-worthy parties roll around.
We live in a world where iPhones are more reliable accessories than satin clutches; a party outfit mishap is no longer experienced only by everyone in the room, but the audiences of everyone in the room. Assuming you’re at a truly spectacular party, you might find yourself the subject of tons of Snapchats and Instagrams, photos and videos—maybe even a livestream or two. It’s worth it to make sure your outfit is in tip-top shape before you bear it to the world.
Champagne and sexy clothes is a tried-and-true combination when it comes to going out and getting the rare opportunity to dress up (if you’re me, anyway)—until something goes awry. Ahead, a shoppable guide to preventing these accidents before they happen, or handling them after they inevitably do. Because dreaded deodorant streaks, wine stains and sweat-rimmed underarms are all issues we’d like to leave in 2018, and the last thing anyone needs is to ring in the New Year mourning the loss of a dress they just bought.
