Formal dresses make
women look gorgeous. Women who have the hour glass body shape are lucky
because they can choose almost any style of dress and look good. The
best features of the hour-glass figure are the waist and the curves.
Choose a dress that accentuates your curves! If you have a body type
that does not have too many curves then you can wear an ‘A-line’ dress.
This dress gives the appearance of having curves. Don't wear a dress
that clings to your body. Alternatively you can also choose a dress that has
some detailing like embroidery on the neck. Dresses for the top-heavy
women are halter-neck formal dress. These dresses give appearance of
being in proportion with the lower half of your body. You can also try a
dress that has a slit as it can highlight your top and bottom halves.
Whether one chooses a long formal dress or a short one, formal dresses
make for an amazing style statement if worn it well. |
Below mentioned are
the different styles of formal dresses that you can choose from:
Ballgown – This is a perfect formal dress for those very formal events.
It is a full-skirted dress that depicts grandeur and extravaganza.
Halter Dress – A halter dress is a perfect evening wear dress. It
highlights your back. Apart from this, you can choose the length of your
dress according to the occasion. I would always advise a full length
halter dress which makes women look tall and slender. Also, halter
dresses highlight the eyes, hair and earrings.
Strapless Dress – strapless formal dresses are a best bet especially for
women who are heavy on hips. This is because a strapless dress
accentuates the collar bone and neck while covers your hips and tummy as
it is free flowing towards the bottom.
Empire Waist Dress – This dress is recommended for short women as this
elongates the body. It brings focus to the bust and hides problem areas
of the lower part of the body.
It is important to wear formal dresses according to the body type that
you have. For women who have an apple shaped body, try and choose
dresses that are fit from the bust and free flowing on the lower part of
the body. You can also wear something that is colorful which highlights
the color rather than the pattern or the cuts. For women with a pear
shaped body type, it is important to balance the body by highlighting
the torso. These women should choose the empire waist dress that fits
perfectly with the natural waistline. Alternatively, you can also choose
a straight cut formal dress.
In India, saris can make
any female look beautiful no matter weather she is short, tall, thin,
fat, dark or fair. The same way no matter what an individuals physical
features are, formal dresses give a major elevation to one’s
personality. For men, formal dresses mainly comprises of a formal
trouser, formal (plain or stripes) shirt, a tie, a suspender, formal
black or brown shoes and an overcoat. Many a times people dressed in
formals are termed as “Decent”. So in other words
formal dresses speak an individuals personality.. in many offices, the
dress code is formals.. the reason being that formal dresses reflect
discipline and the personality of its employees which in turn reflects
the company. Formal dress code is applicable mostly to people engaged in
typical 9 to 5 job i.e. white-collar jobs.
For women formal
dresses mainly comprises of business suits, formal tops and skirts, and
unrevealing Punjabi suits (in India). Women have more choices than men
when it comes to formal dressing.
Formal dress code is
also used as school uniform, which in turn depicts the educational
institution. Any person may look dashing, hip, hot etc… in jeans,
t-shirts and other informal dresses but when that person gets into a
formal dress, his appearance and style changes all of a sudden, giving
him a totally different fresh look.
In India, companies
like Vimal, Raymond’s, Grasim are at the top when it comes to formal
dresses. In the U.S there are designer companies like Versace, Armani,
Tommy Hilfiger that rule. In other countries all over the world, there
are companies like Peter England, Van Husuen, etc… that have made its
mark in the international formal dress scene.
T-shirts have printed
messages, Shorts reveal, Tops attract, Jeans hypnotize, but formal
dresses without having any messages or signs just say these words
“You’re the best”.~ Author R. Almeida copyright @indianchild.com.
