Special Occasion Outfits

If you have a special occasion coming up, and you can't find or decide on what to wear, then you are not alone! It's sometimes difficult to know what is appropriate to wear on formal occasions, and you will still want to look unique as well.

Making the outfit memorable, comfortable and classic is a tricky job. Special occasions usually have a photographer, and so you will want to dazzle in front of the camera as well as looking back on the photos with no regrets.

At the Races

Going to Ascot, Aintree, Chester or Hexham this season? Choose an outfit and don't forget your hat! Look at celebrity pictures at the races, and get advice on how to incorporate the latest trends into your ensemble.

A Black Tie Affair

It's easy for the men to decide what to wear to a black tie affair, but the women have a much harder job. It might say on your invitation what the dress code is, or you could decide on past experiences, or even last years photos from the same event.

 Choose a dress that flatters your figure, and keeps you looking in proportion. Be aware of what knee length suits your shape, and pick a dress that works.

Pretty at Prom

 Prom is a classic time when it becomes really difficult to find the perfect dress. That's probably because you either have the perfect dress in mind but it doesn't seem to exist, or you don't have a clue what will suit your shape.

 There are several places online where you can send in your design for a prom dress, and the company will make it for you. Or you can go to your local seamstress and she will be able to make a dress that fits you out of the fabric you take her.

Runway Style

 If you are going to a catwalk show, then you will want to look fashionable and feel confident. Choose your outfit based on what is comfortable yet sexy. And mix vintage, highstreet and designer into your look.

 Don't forget to work your hair and makeup too. Its important to get a good blow dry in the morning, to enhance the volume and shine of your locks. Instantly update your haircut by booking an appointment for a restyle and color at a top city hairdresser, to give yourself an edgy, modern appearance.

Going to the Chapel

It doesn't matter whether you're the bride or a guest at a wedding, you will want to look amazing and timeless in the photographs. Start by choosing a color and dress shape that works for your figure, then pick some sparkling accessories and jewelry.

Always remember that the bride is the only one who should be wearing white, ivory or cream. And that you should not wear black, unless it's on your feet or asks you to on the invite!
