Are you getting ready to attend a black tie event? Perhaps it’s your friend’s wedding or an important social gathering. Whatever the case may be, you’re sure to want to look your best and you know that wearing a dress is essential. In this guest post, we’ll discuss what to look for when picking the perfect dress for your next black tie event.
When choosing the perfect dress for a black tie event, the most important thing to remember is that the event itself determines what kind of dress you should wear. The dress code for black tie events generally consists of floor-length evening gowns in dark and elegant colors. Although a few years ago, only formal black or navy gowns were considered suitable for these types of events, today, the trend is moving away from those traditional options. This means you can get away with a slightly more daring choice for your dress, such as one in a brighter color, or one with some texture.
When selecting the fabric for your black tie event dress, try to stay away from flashy fabrics and sequins, as these tend to draw attention away from your beauty and grace. Instead, choose fabrics such as chiffon, silk, velvet, or taffeta, as they have a subtle shine and they create a very classic look.
Now that you have picked the perfect dress, it is time to think about styling it. In general, black tie events tend to be quite glamorous, so it is a good idea to choose some pieces of jewelry that complement your dress. This doesn’t necessarily mean you have to buy expensive jewelry. Even simple, but elegant pieces can go a long way in completing the look.
When it comes to hair and makeup, again you don’t want to go too over the top with your look. Natural and subtle tones, as well as classic hairstyles such as an updo, will complete the look perfectly. However, don’t be afraid to express yourself, as there is always a way to incorporate your personality into your style.
Lastly, make sure you choose comfortable shoes, as these will be important to the look, as well as to ensure you’ll have a good time during the event. Also, if the venue allows it, try to carry a bag that goes with the dress and shoes to tie everything together.
Now you’re all set to go and rock the party with your perfect dress. Wishing you lots of confidence and success.
