Silhouettes for this season have not varied much from popular trends of the last couple of seasons. A-line cuts, short cocktail dresses, and three dimensional outlines once again graced the runways this season. Instead, designers have chosen to punch up their designs by experimenting with technologically advanced fabrics. For this season, gowns with more traditional outlines have been imbued with sequins, intricate floral designs, and elaborate beading. These classic silhouettes are being taken up a notch by the addition of unexpected surprises, like colorful tulle added beneath hemlines to create a visually captivating, three dimensional effects.

Jewelry to wear with your gown

Matching metallic details like jewelry and a bag keeps your look classy and cohesive. The trick is to coordinate colors and styles so they complement and aren’t all the same solid color. If your dress is a solid color, go for a multi-colored piece that includes the shade of your dress. Stick to one stone, like diamonds, and one metal if your dress is printed.

Shoes to pair with your gown

Glamorous shoes are the perfect way to round off a classic style formal dress. Always match your dress and shoes to the dress code for a particular event. Your shoes do need to offer good comfort if you’re going to be spending most of the evening standing or if you’re going dancing; in this case, choose a moderate heel height. Pumps embody elegance like no other type of shoe. The most popular types of pumps include classic pumps, peep toes, and stilettos with thin heels.

Party Guide: How to Choose a Clutch

A clutch is the best accessory for a formal look. A clutch purse coordinating well with your evening gown or cocktail gown will highlight your look. Clutches come in various materials, sizes, colors and shapes. The following are some of my ideas on how to pick a flattering clutch for formal look. If you are searching for a clutch recently, read on.

There are many factors you should consider while choosing a clutch. At first, you must choose a right size for your body type. Consider a small to medium clutch if you are petite. Choose something a bit larger if you are tall. What’s more, you should also take your own personal tendencies into consideration. Do not carry too many things you don’t need if you opt for a smaller clutch.

After you have chosen your clutch size, you may pick the color for your clutch. The easiest way to choosing clutch color is matching the clutch color with your dress color. For example, if you are wearing an emerald green dress, you may pair the gown with an emerald green clutch. You can also choose a contrasting color. A bright red clutch with a black dress makes a statement. Usually, bold colored clutches are perfect match for neutral colored dresses.

At last, choose right materials. Leather clutches are the most common seen clutch types. For those who wish to make a bold fashion statement, opt for shiny patent leather. If your evening event is very formal, like a cocktail party or a wedding, you might spot a clutch made from satin or silk.

While clutches don’t have to match your footwear, they should coordinate with the shoes they’re worn with in both color and style. Make sure the belongings you’ll need to carry won’t make the clutch purse you choose appear overfilled, lumpy or otherwise unflattering. For more formal wear fashion trends, please visit BlackFive.
