Read these top tips to make sure that you pick the best party dress for you.

What’s the Occasion?

When you’re looking for a party dress, it’s crucial that you don’t forget to take into consideration the type of occasion that you’re going to attend. If you’re attending a formal or black tie event, you’ll need to choose your dress accordingly to make sure that it is appropriate. Most of the time, black tie events will provide you with a dress code when you receive the invitation so that you can use that as a guide in order to decide which type to choose. In general, the more formal the affair, the more conservative the dress you choose should be. Opt for a style that has a skirt no shorter than just above the knee. Cocktail dresses are a safe choice that tend to work well for most kinds of events you might be invited to. Many choices of boutique dresses are perfect for a wide range of different types of events.

Choosing Colors

Deciding which color of dress is the best one for you to wear will be dependent on a number of factors. Firstly, you should take your skin tone into consideration when you’re looking at these dresses, as different colors go better with some skin tones than others. For example, if you have dark skin, hair and eyes you’re going to look your best in rich, jewel-toned colors such as purple, emerald green or ruby red. If you’re pale skinned, avoid pale colors which can make you look washed-out, instead opting for dark colors such as dark blue or black. On the contrary, pale colors can look stunning on those with tanned or olive skin as they contrast well.

Choosing a Fabric

When you’re choosing a party dress, it might be tempting to opt for one that’s a great cut and color but a cheap price. The problem with this is that cheap dresses tend to mean cheap fabric, and no matter how great the dress looks it’ll be easy to spot as a cheap fit when looked at with a discerning eye. Not to mention the fact that dresses – or any garments for that matter – last a lot longer when they’re made from a high quality, pricier fabric. Making an investment means that you’ll have a high quality dress that will last for longer in future.

Choosing the perfect party dress to make sure that you feel your best and stand out at that important party doesn’t have to be as hard as it seems when you know the guidelines to follow.
