A lot of people receive their invitations to events and parties but have no clue what to wear. The fear of over or under dressing for the occasion can start to set in. There are however, some clues to follow when you find yourself confused on what to wear to an event. The invitation can be a clue, the event is more likely to be a casual affair if you received the invite by email or over the phone. If it arrives by snail mail then you may be in need of a very formal, formal dress.
When invited to attend a benefit or event held by a charity or other association, a cocktail dress is probably the attire you should be thinking of. Deciphering what you need to be wearing is sometimes as simple as reading through the entire invite, most invites have the dress code hidden somewhere on them! Most common ones used are “casual dress”, “semi-formal attire”, “formal wear required” however not all invites have this written on them so be careful.
Keep in mind if you are attending a cocktail party, never ever wear a sequined dress or gown, these are definately more suited for a more formal occasion such as anniversary parties or weddings. The legnths of cocktail dresses range from mini legnths to just above the ankles. When looking for formal dresses material is important too, popular choices include satin and silk complimented by understated jewelry and accessories. Shoes, as always, are an important choice as they can compliment or ruin your whole outfit, so ladies get this right, especially when sporting a shorter legnth dress as the shoes may then become a focal point (girls love checking out shoes!).
The colour of formal dresses is just as important, you should keep in mind that during the summer season, floral print dresses, light pink, pale green, sky blue and yellow, as well as other pastels look amazingly good during this time.
However, during the winter grey, crimson, black, dark blue and dark brown cocktail dresses are the most flattering. And the most overlooked tip on offer, get the right sized dress girls, if you’re big busted don’t squeeze them into a dress! Give them room to breath or you’ll be having your very own wardrobe malfunction!
