Formal Dresses For Formal Events

Short Sarbina Black Lace Formal  Dress

Formal dresses are the particular kind of clothing that is the most appropriate for events such as weddings, dinners or even a dance. They can differ from country to country, and culture to culture. Different countries and cultures have different standards of clothing for formal events, and they may differ in terms of the kind of dress that is worn, the color, size and even motifs on the material.

When it comes to events, there are also several degrees of formality. In very formal events, the kind of formal dresses that are to be worn is different to those that are to be worn in moderately formal events. In the West, most hosts inform their guests the dress code of the particular event.

The dress codes can be categorized into black tie or formal, white tie or ultra-formal, black tie optional, creative black tie, semi-formal or after five, cocktail attire, festive attire, dressy casual and casual. Men in the West usually wear a tuxedo and a tie in very formal events. Formal dresses for women would be long or short cocktails, or long evening dresses depending on the event. Generally, in very formal events, women wear long evening gowns for dinner, day gowns for the daytime, and ball gowns for dances. It is customary for men to wear tuxedos with or without a tie. Black or white is the official color in the West, depending on whether the event is a black tie or a white tie event.

Formal dresses in the East differ from that of the West. For example, the Sari is worn by women in mostly in the Indian subcontinent. In other parts of the world, a formal dress worn by men and women is even more diverse. For instance, the Dashiki is worn by West African males, and the Bunad by both men and women of Norway. All regions of the world have a particular dress code for formal events. Sometimes, they differ by their very features, sometimes, by even their color.

Despite all the differences in their respective features, formal dresses are only reserved for very formal events in all countries of the world. In most parts of the world, the dress code of different events is strictly conformed to. Observing the dress codes not only reflect one's culture, it can also reflect one's personality, and attitude toward dressing in general.

What to Wear to Winter Formals: 3 Military Ball Dresses


November has arrived, which means the season for military balls is upon us, and the fashion world is greeting the season with open arms in anticipation of blue-ribbon formal gowns. But what is a military ball, you ask? It is an exciting event held to honor those who serve and have served in the US military.

Something You Should Know about Military Ball Dress

Military balls are organized locally, so styles can vary from region to region. But here are a few general things couples may want to know:
  • At a military ball, ladies wear full or floor-length gowns, but also have the option of cocktail dresses, as long as detailing is minimal.
  • Basically, women will often dress up in colors that match well with their date's uniform colors.
  • Patterns and bright colors should be avoided.

Below are three dresses that would be perfect for a military ball.

Light Blue Military Ball Dress


This charmeuse military ball dress is a great choice for dancing, catching attention and making a statement at a coast guard or navy ball. The deep Columbia blue looks fashionable and staying very formal. Take your super glittering jewelry and pair with them with some black high heels.

Red Army Ball Ball Dress


This army ball dress is dedicated to those of you loving trendy pieces that still keep appropriate for very formal occasions. Despite it features a V neckline, I'm sure you're still as obsessed with the winter color as us. Feel free to add a jacket or shawl if the temperatures are going to be cold. Pair with some dark shade pumps and rhinestone necklace. It's totally a perfect outfit for marine balls.

Strapless Military Gown


Ball gown is always great for events in cold days. This strapless marine ball gown would be an ideal event-going piece with fall in mind.
