Beauty: Three dresses every woman should have

It is very sad when you attend a soiree, cocktail party or even a wedding ceremony, see women donning all the wrong dresses. Sometimes women think that anything clean can do, but no, a special occasion demands that you dress up in your best garb and look chic and fashionable.

It is very sad when you attend a soiree, cocktail party or even a wedding ceremony, see women donning all the wrong dresses. Sometimes women think that anything clean can do, but no, a special occasion demands that you dress up in your best garb and look chic and fashionable.

Just imagine a lady wearing skinny jeans to a wedding reception party, or one wearing skin tights to a cocktail party. This is absolutely wrong in fashion etiquette. We all have and love jeans, but jeans have no place in a wedding ceremony, neither does it fit in a cocktail soiree. When attending these functions, a lady needs a dress
that makes them look polished and glamorous.

Below are three dresses each woman should have in their wardrobes to wear on special occasions;

Sequin Dress

Nothing evokes the spirit of a party, than a sequin dress. But the fact still remains that a sequin dress when not selected well and accessorized smartly can look disastrous.

A sequin dress that is mid length is better than a full one. Dull gold, silver and copper works best. Sequin dresses are glamorous just by themselves and one need to make sure that they do not over accessorize it. Beautiful pumps and a clutch are the only accessories that a woman needs when
wearing a sequin dress.

Lace Dress

If you have a wedding party to attend, there is no better dress than a lace dress. Lace is romantic and soft and especially when it is white. A white lace dress which is mid length, with short ruffled sleeve is one of the best designs in party dresses.  

Pairing a white lace dress, with red peep toes and a
matching clutch, a long pearl necklace and earrings will complete the look.

One Shouldered Dress

One of the best dresses to wear to a special occasion is a one shouldered dress. This dress has made headlines in the fashion runways time and again. They come in different assortment of fabrics like chiffon, organza and georgette which is great to make a dress intended for a party. Raw patterned silk has also been used in one shouldered dress in soft tones like sea blue, lavender, apple green, champagne, rose pink and the finishing has never disappointed anyone.

These colours can look great for a casual party. In fact one shouldered dress has been a favourite design for bridesmaids in weddings for many years, as far
as I can remember. Pair such romantic dress with suede pumps and chandelier earrings for that Cinderella look.

Like any fashionista does, dresses to wear to special occasions should be chosen with care because they add a touch of elegance to any woman who cares about her looks and appearance. Before a woman wears any dress, they are advised to first know which dresses flatters their body shapes.

A dress is not a dress unless one makes the right choice in design, cuts and colour. These three dresses can do wonders on enhancing a woman’s looks when matched with the right accessories, shoes and bag.
