Dresses
We can all agree that dresses are magical. There is just something about putting on a
great dress that feels transformational. We feel like we can do anything when we’re wearing a dress we love — honestly, we feel like goddesses!
Come let me try and help with a few dress codes:
• Casual: You do not need to dress up. Sneakers, jeans and T-shirts are all
acceptable, and even encouraged.
• Dressy casual: You should dress up, but only a little. It’s often just a matter of
wearing nicer shoes, a snazzier top or pants that aren’t blue jeans (though
denim is fine with the right kind of shirt - more on that later).
• Cocktail: You should dress much nicer than you do every day. Try separates in
satin, silk or velvet. Suits. When in doubt, wear black.
• Black tie: You should wear a very elegant dress – say, a long gown or a
cocktail dress that’s on the fancier side – or a tuxedo.
• White tie: You should look very fancy. Tailcoats, floor-length gowns and,
potentially, white gloves are all on the table.
