Formal Night

Each part of what you will wear has an effect on the rest of what you will wear, if you are wearing a dress of a dark color then you may want light accessories, silver or glass type of jewelry to enhance your look rather than something that is dark that will just blend making one large color. Shoes should also be matched to the dress, a long dress usually will look better with a shoe with a heel on it, rather than a flat shoe, but this does not mean a heel that is extra high as this will not give you much comfort for the evening.
Rather than a dress that is low cut, you can opt for a dress that has beads or sequins as an adornment to show off your dress, accessories can also help to make the look of the dress one to remember, beauty is not always skin.
