Sometimes, whether it be for an important holiday or because you want to look a little more businesslike than usual, choosing your formal look from a line like Terani dress suits can offer you an edge both in appearance and in confidence. While selecting dresses for parties and formal occasions is always a fun way to find an intriguing and fashionable look, wearing the perfectly-selected and tailored suit to a special event can make you feel powerful, sexy and feminine in a whole new way.

A NEW LEVEL OF FORMAL SOPHISTICATION

When you put on a dress, you’re sending a message – you’re a beautiful, sexy, fashionable woman who’s eager to show off her assets. But in a business setting, it can be hard to determine where to draw the line between fashionably sexy and inappropriate. Wearing Terani dress suits can help to take this question out of the occasion, since a modest skirt and suit jacket are almost always appropriate formalwear, whether your occasion is a business luncheon or a wedding. Each of these dress suits blends a traditional look – a knee-length (or sometimes longer, though almost never shorter) skirt which follows the line of the body, a bodice, blouse or camisole which covers the torso and chest, and then a jacket which matches both and covers the shoulders and arms. Many of these looks can double as day-to-night when travelling from a business to a social setting, taking away the need to change clothes before heading out on your evening’s activities.

ACCESSORIZING YOUR TERANI DRESS SUITS

The kinds of accessories you choose to put with your Terani dress suits will change depending on the fabric and look of the outfit you’ve selected. Some of the Terani dress suits available at newyorkdress.com are more delicate, feminine affairs, and should be accessorized appropriately. These include looks like the Tiered Skirt Dress With Jacket, the Suitably Detailed dress with jacket, and the exquisitely detailed fringe of the Mega Fringe Rocker Dress with Jacket. When picking bags, jewelry and shoes to compliment these looks, try to match the weight of the fabric with the weight of the accessories you’ve selected. This will help you avoid looking out-of-balance. For simpler, more structured and businesslike looks, you can accessorize with bold, chunky jewelry and bags and shoes that really catch the eye. The satin sheen of many of the fabrics used in this collection match well to materials with plenty of shine, including patent leather and bags detailed with sparkles. Shoes can be kept neutral, if you want to draw attention to the exquisite tailoring of these pieces, but you can also pick something with a bit more bling if you want to keep attention on your twinkling toes.

ARE YOU READY FOR YOUR CLOSE-UP?

Hair and makeup are two finishing crowns on any woman’s appearance, and when you’re wearing a Terani dress suit, this is even more the case than in your normal day-to-day clothing. Once you’ve put the time and effort into choosing a dress you’re happy with, it’s important that your hair and makeup finish of the trend. Although this season’s popular runway hair styles tend to be a bit more unkempt, the basic idea behind wearing a suit dress is to maintain a traditional appearance with slight flares toward fashion-forward thinking. You should always look neatly put together in a dress suit, so maintain a hairstyle which shows off healthy, lustrous hair and then find ways to style it neatly and appropriately. Short hair can look great with a suit dress, since both are clipped and restrained expressions of individualism.

MORE SUBTLE SHADES OF COLOR

If you love well-made dresses but shy away from bold color palates, then picking a neutral shade of suit dress can be a wonderful way to blend these two interests. Terani dress suits use colors that are, for the most part, somewhat milder than the prom and party dresses by the same designer, and the result is that you can choose your look without having to spend too much time being concerned over whether the colors you’ve chosen will go with the room your event takes place in. While there are some bold color selections, such as the Multi-Tiered Dress with Jacket, the Wide Flare Collar Suit Dress and the Suit Dress With Bow Detail, these suit dresses are positioned more as statement pieces for the bold and sophisticated businesswoman than as conservative formal wear. Thanks to the bright shades and careful tailoring, these outfits are perfect for high-end client an senior-level meetings. Looks that will work for the gallery crowd include the Two Tone Dress with Jacket and the Formal Dress With Patterned Skirt And Jacket. These two looks, particularly as pictured below, are closely fit to the form of their wearer, and show a level of style and taste which any modern woman would be proud to display.

Although many women today equate formalwear with prom dresses and evening ball gowns, a Terani dress suit allows its wearer to be comfortable, sensual, and above all appriately dressed at many special events and occasions.
