Selecting the Perfect Evening Attire
Women have an array of choices when selecting evening wear. This
is a clothing category that allows women to express themselves
in many fanciful ways. There are few rules as to what is
appropriate, so each woman can choose whatever suits her own
style and personality. This flexibility is evident when watching
award shows. Some celebrities have appeared in outfits that
defied gravity while others seemed to have animals growing from
their clothes.
Making an appropriate choice in women's evening wear depends to
a certain extent on the occasion, the level of formality needed
and the climate. In spring and summer, light colored gauzy
fabrics are often seen. There can be an element of whimsy about
these dresses. Short dresses are popular for evening wear in
warm weather, particularly for outdoor events.
In fall and winter, the general tone is more serious. While
there are still many sleeveless and strapless gowns, they tend
to be more structured. Taffeta, velvet, brocade and other rich
fabrics are the norm. Black is always a popular color for
women's evening wear in winter, but burgundy, deep blue and
other dark, rich colors make fabulous alternatives.
Some women even choose tuxedo like pantsuits for evening events.
This can be a great alternative in cold weather, although a long
dress in a winter fabric worn with a coordinating shawl or a fur
wrap can result in the same level of comfort.
Celebrities love designer
evening wear
When actresses are interviewed as they walk the red carpet
before award shows, one question they are always asked is, "Who
designed your gown?" Designer evening wear has become a
requirement for these posh events, so much so that many
designers loan custom made gowns to top stars at no charge.
Calvin Klein, Dolce and Gabbana, Valentino, Ralph Lauren, Donna
Karan, Versace and more are popular with many of today's well
known performers. But women aren't the only ones whose taste in
clothes is an issue at these events. Men have become fashion
plates as well and will also be asked the source of their
designer evening wear. Armani is well known for his top quality
suits and his tuxedoes have quite a following also.
Knockoffs of the most attractive gowns seen on televised award
shows are usually available in stores within a few weeks after
the show to which they were first worn. These are unauthorized
copies made to sell at prices regular people can afford. While a
designer gown might cost $5,000, the department store copy will
go for about $200. Unfortunately, the great bodies worn by
celebrities are often harder to reproduce.
