If the dress code on your invite reads ‘Formal’, you have significantly more wiggle space than a Black Tie dress code – though don’t stray too far! Floor length gowns are still good for a Formal party, but you can ease into silhouettes like column dresses, A-line cuts or even a midi – though sophistication is still the emphasis. Keep the necklines modest and play around with structured tailoring to highlight the strong suits of your frame instead. For textures, crepe, silk, satin, chiffon and brocade work well as a rotation of options while for colour, think deeper hues like navy, emerald, burgundy, charcoal or even plum. While Black Tie holds space for your flashier accessories, for a Formal event, make sure they accent your look subtly instead of pulling all attention.
