How To Dress For A Formal Event

Apr 21

Tis the season for weddings, charity events, and summer parties. You are ready to hit the town, but as you're going through your wardrobe, you realize you have nothing to wear or are unsure of what to wear to the highly anticipated event you have been invited to attend.

Depending on the event you have been invited to and whether or not they assigned a dress code, we see and understand your dilemma and are here to guide you through it. Ask yourself the following questions…What? When? and Where?

WHAT?

The first step to figuring out what to wear is knowing the type of event. Is it a gala, a wedding, a formal charity event, a cocktail party, or a night at the opera?

WHEN?

The next step is knowing what time of day the event is scheduled. Is the event in the evening, or is it a mid-day affair? Does it start in the afternoon and lead into the evening?

WHERE?

The next step is knowing where the event is being held? A banquet hall, church, restaurant, art gallery, hotel ballroom, stately home, or outside under a beautiful tent?

Is there a theme or color scheme? Are you being requested to dress corresponding to the theme?

After answering all these questions, you should now have the confidence to select the perfect attire for your formal event.

So for the men, think tuxedos with a bowtie or a stylish customized suit with a statement tie. Ladies, you have many options, from the little black dress, colorful jumpsuit, an A-line gown, or a formal knee-length cocktail dress; you can't go wrong. No matter what you choose to wear, remember to accessories. This moment is the perfect opportunity to adorn yourself, bring out those statement pieces of jewelry and those fabulous shoes, and finish your look with an extraordinary hairdo and flawless makeup.
