Q & A's
What is an alternative to the little black dress?

The little black dress will always be a staple at cocktail parties and dinners around the world, but to do something a bit different without breaking any dress codes, try deep almost-black shades like loden or navy. Dark colors like these have all the drama of black without black’s seriousness. Choose a feminine silhouette or a ruffled neckline to keep it chic, and the rich color will do the rest—it’s the perfect way to be unique without being off-color.

What are some simple ways to go from work to a night out?

Any basic office outfit can usually be transformed into a stylish evening ensemble by adding a standout piece like a jeweled cardigan or pair of lavish over-the-knee boots. Other pieces are wonderfully versatile, moving with ease from day into night. A ruffled blouse in satin or chiffon paired with slim black trousers is the ultimate in chic elegance and perfect for almost any occasion. Even a combination as basic as a white oxford shirt and dark jeans can be styled for the evening by adding a detail-rich jacket or bold silver jewelry. Remember: dressing up usually only requires a few key pieces and accessories.

What should I wear to a black-tie event?

Black-tie dressing guidelines can vary greatly, depending on the particular occasion. However, the basic rule dictates that the elegance of these events calls for floor-length gowns in tasteful style. First, classic black is always safe and a simple design ensures there will be no talk of a gaudy gown in the fashion glossies next month. Second, select a dress that will showcase your best features and draw attention away from the ones you’re shy about. An elegant black gown and simple accessories will always be your best bet.
