What woman doesn't love slipping into a chic dress and getting dolled up? Whether it's for a wedding, a trip to the opera, a smart evening event or a special family occasion, formal dresses allow any woman to make a breathtaking entrance. Whether you're dressed in a long gown, glamorous cocktail dress or evening dress, you're sure to be the belle of the ball.
No formal dress is complete without matching accessories and a fabulous pair of shoes. Elegant jewellery, a clutch bag and matching jacket will give the dress a unique touch, while high heels make legs appear longer. But not everyone can walk in high heels without their feet hurting. Our tip: Wear platform sandals! It feels like you're wearing a flat shoe and yet the full-length platform sole makes legs appear longer.
Special occasions often require a specific dress code. It's important to pay special attention to your selection of attire to ensure you're not over- or under-dressed. If the dress code is white tie or black tie, for instance, you should always choose a long evening gown in a muted colour. For weddings or cocktail parties, on the other hand, go for dresses in bright colours. Make sure that it is not too short or too low cut. As a general rule, the more formal the occasion, the longer the dress.
