How To: Black Tie Attire

April 4, 2018

Does the invite say, “Black Tie”? Before you panic, keep reading. We know finding the perfect black tie dress can be difficult… and sometimes stressful. But worry no more because we’re here to help. We’ve polled the office and compiled a list of our top black tie dresses and paired them with easy to follow styling tips. Which look is your favorite?

Blushing Details

Blush is this season’s hottest hue so it’s only natural that style 1289 would make the list. Throw on a pair of silver pumps and your favorite crystal earrings and you’ll be ready to go. We recommend pulling your hair back into a simple ponytail. Keep your makeup fresh and clean with a nude lip.

Black Velvet

Wearing velvet is the easiest way to make a statement at any black tie event. And trust us, style 1302 will definitely make a statement. Pair this dress with pearl earrings and black velvet heels. We recommend styling your hair in soft waves and keeping your makeup soft and dewy (with the help of a warm-toned highlighter).

Metallic Accents

Shine all night at your next black tie event thanks to style 1270’s metallic details. We love this dress because it has a modern romantic vibe. We recommend pairing this style with stud earrings and sparkly heels. Keep your makeup natural with a soft pale pink lip. For extra romance style your hair in a bohemian inspired braid.

Off the Shoulder

Show off your sexy side at your next black tie event in style 1316. Pair this dress with a simple nude sandal and minimal accessories. Draw the attention to your face with a dark smokey eye. Keep your hair down and curly for some extra drama.

Modern Ball Gown

Nothing says black tie sophistication like a ball gown. This season, we recommend wearing a ball gown with a little more personality. We are all obsessed with style 1322 because it is the perfect combination of classic and modern. We recommend pairing this dress with bright red lipstick and classic black pumps. Keep your hair slicked back by pulling it into a low pony or bun.
