Elegant Dress Ideas Women will likely be in floor length dresses at a black tie optional wedding or event, but you can expect guests in formal cocktail dresses (think chic dinner party, not party dress) too

Natural waist fit

Accessories: Silk or satin lapels and bright-colored socks are a great idea, as well as vibrant cufflinks and pocket squares

For instance, you wont wear your 60s-style over-the-knee boots with a cocktail dress for your mums 50 th birthday ball

Im loving this versatile sheath dress that can be worn in a sophisticated all black or switched inside out to a chic print
