The-BlackBerry.com's Guide to Finding the Perfect Evening Dress

Length of Evening Dresses: When most think of evening dresses, they think floor length. And, while there may be a variety of reasons you will stick with this, you don’t have to. Evening dresses come in all lengths. And, if you have great legs, an evening dress is the perfect attire to flaunt theme in – beautifully and classily.

Dress Length Tip: If you’re shorter in stature, don’t choose anything that stops right at the ankle or shin. In effect, you cut yourself off at that point. Either go all the way to the floor along with a heel as high as you can comfortably stand it, or go with a short dress with heels. Usually the shorter the evening dress, the higher the heel should be because it elongates the body, which always makes for an elegant look.

Colour of Evening Dresses: In evening wear, colour is extremely important. If your event is more demure and you are afraid of being too colourful, but don’t want to wear black, try deep jewel tones that compliment your skin tone.

Shimmery midnight blue and deep cranberry come to mind. Usually, these can stand in as the “new black,” while still offering the hint of colour you want.

Style of Evening Dresses: The one thing you want to remember about style when it comes to evening dresses is to accent your best feature. If you have delicately broad shoulders and an elegant, elongated neck, a halter, off-the-shoulder or strapless evening gown might be in order.

If you have a tiny waist, choose a style that draws attention to this feature of your body. If you have great legs, as mentioned above, consider short evening dresses.

Accessories for Evening Dresses

Shoes for Evening Dresses: The more ornate the evening dress, the less ornate the shoe should be. Many make the mistake of overdoing it when wearing evening dresses. This is because most of us don’t have an occasion to play dress up often. But, less is always more. And, if you get the heel length right, you’re half way there.

Handbags for Evening Dresses: Clutch bags complement evening dresses beautifully for a reason. They are delicate and just large enough to handle a lipstick, compact and mobile phone.

Jewellery for Evening Dresses: If the dress is ornate, very little if any jewellery may be needed. If jewellery is worn, make a bold statement with one piece. It’s effective and divinely simple – which is always in style.
