What to Wear for a Networking Mixer: Soft, Shy but Confident Mood

For a networking mixer with a ‘soft, shy but confident’ mood, the goal is to choose approachable, gentle hues and soft textures while exuding quiet self-assurance through polished tailoring or subtle statement details. Think of muted pastels, fluid lines, and tactile fabrics that create presence without overpowering. Let me know if you have a specific budget, color preference, or unsure about the venue’s dress code for even more focused ideas!
