What to Wear to a Christmas Party?

What to Wear to a Christmas Party?

Comment   

If the holidays give you a slew of opportunities to dress up for Christmas parties, there are plenty of different things you can wear. There should be a Christmas flare to your party outfit, without it being tacky or excessive. However, colors and glam -- like red, green, silver and gold, as well as jewels, sparkles and sequins --are definitely appropriate for a Christmas party.

Women
Women typically wear a dress to a Christmas party. You don't have to wear bold green and red. Gold and silver are also Christmas colors and are very elegant for an evening party. Those beaded blue mermaid prom dresses , off shoulder prom dresses A-line are also suggested.

You could wear a black dress with silver or gold beads or sequins. Ruby red and emerald green are more traditional-looking Christmas colors and are beautiful colors for dresses.

 

They also complement gold and silver very well. For shoes, wear stunning stilettos. If you live in a place that's cold in December, you might want to wear tights or warm stiletto boots. You could also choose a sweater or cashmere dress if you're concerned about being cold. For outerwear, consider wearing a full-skirted coat or a faux-fur coat.

Men
Black-tie suit is never wrong.

 

Men can choose a solid-colored button-down shirt that's not black or white. Choose rich but subtle Christmas colors, like forest green, dark purple and burgundy. It's better to choose one Christmas color for your outfit -- red and green together can easily look tacky. Black slacks or khakis match with any color.


 It can be appropriate to wear dark, straight-leg jeans too, depending upon the kind of party. Avoid baggy pants and light-wash jeans. Over your shirt, you can wear a dressy blazer or suit jacket, and you may want to dress it up with a coordinating tie. Also, red swearter, white shirt matches each other. Your choice too.

There is no rule to restrict you, however, fashion is more strict than the rule. So, choose your own fashion style and be stunning.

What is the Difference Between a Dress and a Gown?

What is the Difference Between a Dress and a Gown?

Comment   

The difference between a dress and a gown is largely one of semantics and personal preference. The word "gown" tends to refer to more formal garments, like those worn for weddings, proms or balls. A "dress" can be any one-piece garment with a skirt of any length, and can be either formal or informal. Generally, evening dresses, wedding dresses, and party dresses are more formal. While many gowns are referred to as dresses, like those worn to a wedding or prom, people seldom hear less formal garments referred to this way. For example, a sundress is never a sungown.

All gowns are dresses, but not all dresses are gowns. In earlier English examples from the 16th century onward, the word "dress" referred to both men and women’s clothing ensembles. It might be modified by terms like evening, traveling, riding, and people can still see examples of this on invitations to certain events. An invitation might state that a function requires semi-formal dress or attire, for example. When an invitation states that the occasion is formal, women are expected to wear an evening gown.

When the term is used strictly, a gown is fancy and frivolous wear, with a tight fitting bodice and a full floor-length skirt. Certain close-fitting styles, like the form fitting types worn by actresses to award ceremonies, are still often considered to be gowns. Attending the Oscars, for example, tends to require formal eveningwear for both men and women, though notable exceptions have been fashion disasters of the past.

Another related term is frock. A frock may also be a less formal dress, but may also be an evening or formal gown. The word "frock" is more popular in the UK than in the US for referring to any one-piece garment with a skirt. In current society, long formal dresses, cocktail dresses, sheath dresses are welcomed in party.

An exception to these general definitions is a graduation gown, which is worn over clothing. There are certain graduation dresses for girls to show personality nowadays. A woman might wear a dress under such a garment if she is planning to attend graduation celebrations after the ceremony. Usually, the outfit is flowing and oversized, and it is worn over other clothes, though a few graduates have tried to get away with wearing only the gown as part of a prank or bet. This may be cause for amusement but is considered inappropriate for the event of graduation from high school or college.
