The Dress For just About All occasions



An invitation to an important occasion generally causes worry to lots of people as it needs wearing a formal dress. Casual and semi-casual is simple to put and wear, and business dresses are understood by many people also. But when the occasion calls for a more formal, but not business-like look, it could be difficult to choose the correct outfit.

To know which one to wear, you need to first know the timing of the occasion. If it's in daytime, a pair of classically cut trousers and a basic yet elegant blouse will work nicely. If the event demands a dress, use dresses with colors that are made specifically for daywear. Complete either of these looks with a light jacket and a pair of low heels. Add a wrap or chiffon scarf if the climate is a little chilly; and keep make-up light and fresh.

The early evening brings the wonderful cocktail hour. An invitation to an occasion at this time gives the opportunity to break out that timeless classic- the cocktail dress. This is a definite approach to carry off the formal look with style. It can never be too dressy; and it is incapable of looking too casual. This dress is also called the little black dress a la Coco Chanel and is revered for the way it could be worn as the dress for any event. It's guaranteed to never go out of fashion, since it has a simple yet stylish look. Additionally, it looks effortless, which makes it a good dress for any event, be it a high-class function or a less-than-formal party.

Designers of the past have provided several inspiration on how to stylize or complement the cocktail dress. As Chanel said, “Fashion fades, only style remains the same.” Her style was clean and simple lines, and black was her preferred color. The iconic cocktail dress designed by Hubert de Givenchy for Audrey Hepburn during the 60s is black; but any color that flatters the wearer’s complexion is completely acceptable.

How about occasions that are held on the evening? If it's a formal dinner, then the cocktail dress will suit perfectly. Just wear higher heels and stylize with more luxurious additions. Think glamorous- rich fabrics like a velvet bolero jacket will move the dress (kjoler til fest) smoothly into evening wear. If the event is a dance, a ball gown is called for; the more lavish the color and fabric, the better.
