Most women have a plethora of choices available in their wardrobes. This happens mainly because women’s fashion allows for such variety. The choices are considerably more than a man’s closet. As a corollary, one is more often than not a confused soul who suffers from the popular syndrome of having too much and thus, not being able to decide what to wear. This becomes doubly harder when one is planning to get ready for an occasion: a significant evening event can bring the hysterics on.
So how do we narrow down? It’s quite simple really. One can easily have a basic dress for every possible evening event; one need not go berserk. Just choose the dress depending upon the type of event. One can easily shop evening dresses online. Let us look at the 5 types of basic evening dresses every woman should have.
The ‘Little Black Dress’:
This is a fashion staple that can absolutely never go wrong. For parties one can team this with some spunky jewelry and sparkly shoes and be ready for a wild and sexy night. For more serious but fun occasions, more sober choices can be exercised. It is the most flattering color and garment that cannot ever be a disaster. And teamed with complimenting accessories, it can be quite an ensemble.
The Cocktail Dress:
It is the quintessential evening dress that is usually worn at cocktail parties as the name suggests. The hemline usually rests above the knee and the dress can be in various patterns and sport embellishments. It is important to know one’s body type to purchase the most flattering dress. It comes in so many varieties that it is quite hard to have only two or three.
The Mini- Dress:
With the hemline somewhere on the thigh area, this is for more informal events that want bold and exposed styles. This dress might not suit each body type and thus, needs to be chosen carefully. Depending upon the situation, one can buy the more formal style or choose the tighter versions that compliment the curves.
The A- line Dress:
This dress is again a very basic fashion staple. It suits most body types and is great at disguising heavy bottoms. It can have a range of lengths and is most suited for sophisticated, formal settings that demand poise and sobriety at the same time.
The Evening Gown:
This is THE attire for evening events and is suitable for both formal and semi- formal occasions. It can be elegant and suave or be chic and spunky, as one chooses. It can also spell propriety and conviction in very formal settings. It suits all body types and is an absolute wardrobe staple.
