By Ava Brown, January 25, 2021

Summertime is ideal for parties, weddings and formal occasions. The nice weather, long sunny days and pleasant evenings inspire people to get together and celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, business deals and other big or small, personal or professional achievements. Whether it’s a big celebration with hundreds of people or a small gathering that suits the current restrictions, every formal occasion requires a formal dress, special occasion makeup and hairstyle that goes with it.

Whether you’re preparing for your best friend’s wedding, your birthday celebration or you’re going to a cocktail party with friends – it’s important to find the right dress for the occasion. Although dressing up for formal events can be a lot of fun, every girl knows how difficult finding the perfect dress can be. Luckily, we’re here to help.

How Do I Choose the Right Dress?

Truth be told, the perfect dress for each occasion does exist. Even though sometimes it won’t be specified at the invitation, you have to guess and wear clothes appropriate for the type of event. The most important thing is to choose a formal dress that complements your body shape, fits well and you like how you look in it.

The Black Midi Dress

There’s no woman in the world that doesn’t look good in black. Black has been considered to be a formal colour for a long time now. The evolution of the little black dress just proves the popularity of this colour. Black is a top choice for formal dresses for many celebrities, and it’s easy to style and accessorize. A mid-length black dress might be a perfect choice if you are attending a nighttime summer wedding, a cocktail party or any other special evening party. You can opt for a simple design that follows your silhouette and is not too tight to feel comfortable in it. From the huge selection of stylish occasion dresses, you can also opt for an open back dress that will turn heads when you wear it. There are so many options, it all comes down to your style preferences and budget.

Pretty in White

White dresses for occasions are always a good choice, except for weddings where you’re not the bride. It’s a perfect choice for summer, especially if your skin is tanned. You can opt for a classic and sophisticated midi white dress that is fully lined and features adjustable shoulders straps. If you decide on an oyster dress made from a quality cotton blend lace, you can wear it season after season. With an invisible zip at the back centre, this elegant dress might be ideal for birthdays, anniversaries, baby showers, proms and other special occasions.

Corset Mini Dress

And when the occasion allows it, you can go bold with a corset mini dress in soft pink to show off your perfectly toned legs. A cotton-blend lace in a delicate shade of pink might be the ideal choice for summer parties and celebrations. A corset dress is a perfect way to make your waist seem smaller, drawing all the attention to your legs. A fitted skirt with a playful circular frill can make the dress more interesting and visually appealing. Mini occasion dresses allow you to choose from a plethora of accessories to style them with and go well with a lot of ladies formal shoes.

How Do I Choose the Right Pair of Shoes?

Choosing the right pair of formal shoes might be a bit tougher than choosing ladies’ work shoes that combine comfort and style. Your formal shoes should be stylish, elegant, sparkling or whatever you want them to be, as long as they match your formal dress.

Classic Black

If you’re looking for the ideal pair to match your midi black dress and any other formal dress, you can’t go wrong with an elegant black shoe with an enclosed toe. The closed front protects your toes without compromising on space, making them ideal for dancing and standing all night long. You can opt for a model with genuine leather upper and adjustable ankle strap caters for comfort and durability. The height of the heel may vary. Make sure it’s at least 6.5 cm high to make your legs appear longer.

Beige Sandals

If you want to look great on your next special occasion and wear the same stylish ladies dress shoes in different summer outfits, a pair of beige sandals might be the ideal solution for you. If you want them fancy yet stable, opt for a stacked block heel that is 7.5 cm high and helps promote stability and balance. The peep-toe design works well to elongate your leg line, while the rubber sole is lightweight and shock absorbing. Ideal for dancing, walking and standing, beige is easy to combine. You can wear them with a white or soft pink dress and look amazing.

Sparkling Silver

If the dress you chose for your formal occasion is pretty simple, you can spice up your outfit with a pair of elegant silver sandal heels. Silver heels go well with both black and white and can easily match your jewellery and clutch. You can opt for a wide heel for extra stability and build in arch support to reduce feet fatigue. If you want them to be stylish, comfortable and durable, opt for a leather sole.
