Formal Dresses: Your TOP Focus For Wearing Formal Dresses

It's sooner or later that girls should learn how to wear formal dresses correctly, and don't take it for granted that jeans and T-shirts are of better decency than skirts and stockings.

Compared with menswear, girls have many more styles and colors to choose from!Wearing elegant and appropriate dresses will not only make you look more beautiful, but also indicate your fine self-cultivation and taste as a modern woman. To help you we've listed the 'TOP' principles of wearing formal dresses to make you look decent.

'TOP' stands for:

    Time
    Occasion
    Place

In a word, we should be sure that the time, occasion and the place that we're wearing our clothing are all in harmony.

Time

Girls should wear the right type of dresses at the right times.

For a man, a suit in dark colors and of good quality can provide general service no matter when it's worn; while for a woman, the dress should be changed as time goes by. During working hours we may need office suits to be professional; whereas in the evening for special events, we need to change into formal dresses with high-heels, shining jewelry and maybe a scarf.

Of course we should also keep pace with the season's trends as an extra consideration.

Occasion

What we wear should fit with the occasion we're attending. When participating in a formal conference or negotiating with clients, we should be serious and professional; but when attending a concert, the ballet or an evening banquet, we should wear formal dresses that make ourselves look elegant and graceful. Think of it this way...if everybody else is well-dressed, while you rock up in casual clothes like you're hacking around in the supermarket, how awkward would you feel? Exactly! That's why being aware of the occasion and what's expected is important!

Place

If we receive guests at home or visit someone's home, formal dresses that we wear can be less ceremonious and vice versa in hotels or other public places. This point is especially important if we go somewhere that has a special connection with culture, religion or customs,for example, a temple or a church. In those places we should not leave too much of the body exposed.

There are some other principles that we should also pay attention to.

First our formal dresses don't need to be expensive or made of top quality fabric, but they must be neat and tidy. So before wearing we must have them well pressed.

The color is also a key factor to show your personality and fit with certain occasions. Dark or cool colors are more protective, whereas brighter colors are more fun and outgoing.

Anyway, wearing formal dresses is a big 'image-creating' project. There is a famous saying in the Orient: 'Apparel makes the man.'

The people who wear the dresses are the leading roles, but WHAT they wear can really create a big part of their image. So keep a focus on TOP before your next event and you'll be sure to choose dresses that complement you perfectly!
