Fall Formal Is Coming, What To Wear?
Now that October is here, fall formal is the talk of the town! Questions about what style of dress to wear, what color palette to choose, whether to go short or long and everything in between are top of mind. It’s time to find the perfect dress that captures your personal style! Whether you’re looking for something timeless or with a bit of edge, now is the time to experiment. Most importantly, find something that makes you feel your most confident!
A great way to elevate a timeless dress is by accessorizing! Whether it's statement jewelry, a fun bag or a pop of color in your shoes, there are so many options to take your classic look to the next level. The right details will complete your entire look and elevate your outfit for an amazing night!
First things first, let's talk about a color palette! When it comes to choosing the perfect shade, the options are endless. Leaning into a darker color palette is a great way to capture those fall vibes.
Black: Gives you the option to dress up your look with accessories. Plus, who doesn’t love a timeless black dress?
Navy: A step up from black but not so daring that you can’t still have fun with accessories. Navy flatters a range of skin tones and allows you to have some color without being too over the top. It is always in style!
Brown: A rich chocolatey brown always puts everyone in a fall mood! Accessorize with some gold to add some warmth to the look!
Burgundy: More playful than the other colors and brings a more unique look. Allows you to stand out more with your dress and it’s easy to pair with simple accessories.
Now styles, there are millions of different styles to choose from but here are a few of my favorites that never let me down and are flattering on various body types!
Open Back: There is nothing like a simple dress that has an open or fun back to spice up the dress. This look allows you to effortlessly highlight your features and add some drama to the dress.
Drop Waist: Effortlessly accents your features in a timeless and classy way. Accentuates your torso by elongating your silhouette thus, creating a gorgeous look.
Slit: You do have to be careful with a slit because you don’t want it to be too high and have to worry about it all night. But the perfect height slit adds a touch of edginess and showcases your legs.
Once again, these were just a few styles that will elevate your looks this fall.
Now that we have talked about colors and style, let's look at a few dresses that have caught our eye for the upcoming fall formal season!
