Black Tie Dresses
Picture this: you get an invitation in the mail for a formal event. It could be a wedding, a company fundraiser, a swanky dinner party with your classiest friends – but whatever the occasion, you spot four very important words on the invite:“Dress Code: Black Tie”
For many people, these four words can be TERRIFYING. Do you have any black-tie event dresses in your closet? Do you even know what kind of formal gowns are considered “black tie”? Don’t let dress code rules keep you from being the life of the party. New York Dress is here to help you find gorgeous black-tie dresses online!
The Black-Tie Dress Code
Any formal event that starts after 6:00 PM will have a “black tie” dress code. The fashion etiquette around these types of events actually focuses on menswear; the primary rule of black-tie events is that men must wear a tuxedo. But while there are no specific rules for ladies, women are encouraged to put their best, most glamorous foot forward at black-tie events.
So, what is considered a black-tie formal dress? The answer depends on the event you’re attending. For example, your cousin’s formal wedding requires a vastly different gown than an event like the Met Gala! Consider the theme of the event, as well as the host and other attendees, when you choose your black-tie attire. If all else fails, stick with a classic look: a floor-length gown in a gorgeous jewel tone.
Popular Black-Tie Gowns
Most of us think of floor-length ballgowns when we think of black tie dresses. While this is a standard black-tie look (and one that we adore), women actually have a lot of freedom to express themselves when choosing a black-tie gown. You can wear any color, any cut, and any style – provided that your look is both event-appropriate and totally glamorous.
For example, if ballgowns aren’t your style, you can opt for something sleeker and simpler. A long sheath dress can show of your figure in a tasteful way – and if the dress has a plunging back, it will make a very impressive splash! Or, if you want to go for a bold and unique look, consider a sultry (yet appropriate) two-piece dress.
As you can see, there are a variety of beautiful styles you can wear as a black-tie event dress – and NYD has them all, ready for you to order!
