Its not casual or semi-casual: Sundresses dont qualify Casual midi dresses in cotton or jersey miss the mark Anything youd wear to brunch or shopping feels too relaxed Its not the same as cocktail attire: Black tie optional is slightly more formal Fabrics and overall polish matter more The formality ceiling is higher (full gowns work) Its not a suggestion to underdress: The optional part means you can skip the floor-length gown It doesnt mean you can significantly dress down Maintain elegant, special-occasion styling Building Versatile Options Smart shopping for black tie optional events considers future wear
You can keep it soft and romantic with pearl accessories and minimal makeup, or go full-on glam with a faux fur coat and bold heels the styling options are endless, and every single one is a serve
I especially loved the adjustable straps and pockets on this dress
Our pros love that these are available in 20 colors and patterns, including cheetah, snakeskin and metallic, for every style and event
It is important to maintain your own style and essence, and feel yourself properly dressed without feeling a character that you are not, this gives a plus of style and personality
