If there's one occasion we look forward to celebrating with a bang each year, it would have to be our birthday. While planning a birthday celebration can, at times, prove to be a little stressful, it's truly your night to shine—and your outfit should reflect that. When putting together a killer birthday dinner 'fit, there are a few things to consider: First, what overall vibe are you going for—something casual, or a look that's a bit more flashy? Of course, where you choose to wine and dine for the evening is another important factor to bear in mind as you pick through your wardrobe.
