Evening and Cocktail Gowns to Remember

Picking out the right evening or cocktail gown for that formal event is often a challenge. Women might find that they are confused about which style is best and what is likely to draw the eye to her fashion sense. Picking out a gown to remember is a key to making the evening memorable.

Body Type

A woman's body type has a large influence on the evening gown that will look best on her. Selecting a gown in the wrong body type means that it will look odd and might bunch in unattractive ways. For example, a tight-fitted mermaid evening gown is best for women who have a small waist while a straight cut gown on the same woman would look silly due to bunching at the waist and above the hips. The most memorable gowns are those that fit the woman well.

Colors

As with the body type, selecting colors that flatter the skin is another important feature of an evening gown or cocktail gown. In general, black or neutral colored gowns are appropriate for most skin types and are a safe choice. For a formal evening, women might want to avoid those bright and daring colors unless it is a perfect complement to skin.

The selection of a gown is a personal choice and only a woman can determine what she wants to wear. The video shows a variety of options to flatter different body types.
