What is Evening Wear?
Evening wear is a type of formal clothing, usually worn to events in the evening. It can also be referred to as "black tie," which refers specifically to men's attire.
In its most basic form, evening wear consists of a tuxedo jacket worn over matching trousers and a bow tie that matches the lapels on your jacket (or cummerbund). The shirt should be crisp white with French cuffs and pleats down both sides of the front placket; you'll often see black silk scarves tied around necks as well, though these aren't necessary for every occasion. For women's ensembles, there are many options available--from long gowns in silk or satin with trains all the way down past their feet all the way up past their elbows!
Men's Evening Wear
Men's evening wear is a little less formal than women's, but it still has its own set of rules. The most common style for men is black tie, which includes a tuxedo jacket with tails and matching pants (or trousers). Black tie can be worn with either white or black shirts.
The most traditional accessories for men are cufflinks and studs; however, other options include pocket squares and bow ties if you want something more modern. For fabrics, most people choose wool because it keeps you warm while also being light enough to move around easily in your suit jacket or tuxedo coat.
Women's Evening Wear
Women's evening wear is a unique style of dress that has its own set of rules and guidelines. This section will go over the different styles, accessories and fabrics you can use to create your own custom look.
For women's evening wear, there are many different options available to you as a designer or consumer. You can choose between long gowns or short dresses; high-necked or low cut; tight fitting or loose fitting; strapless or spaghetti straps; full skirts or A-line skirts--the list goes on! The most important thing is finding something that fits your body type well so that it looks flattering when worn by anyone else who tries it on later down the road (or even just yourself!)
Choosing the Right Evening Wear
When you're choosing the right evening wear, it's important to consider the occasion. Is it a formal event? Or maybe just a dinner party? The type of event will influence what kind of dress you should wear and how much money you should spend on it.
If it's a formal event, then there are some guidelines that can help guide your decision-making process:
-
Find out if there will be other people in attendance who are wearing long dresses. If so, then choose one that isn't too short or too revealing--it's best not to stand out from everyone else at these types of events!
-
Make sure everything fits properly before buying anything; otherwise, all those hours spent shopping could be wasted when something doesn't fit right later on down the road when trying them on again (or worse yet--when showing up at said function).
The Tuxedo
The tuxedo is a timeless classic, and there are many reasons why it's become such an iconic piece of clothing. The history of this formal attire dates back to the 19th century, when it was first worn at formal dinners in America. In fact, some people believe that the word "tuxedo" comes from an Algonquian word meaning "good tobacco."
To this day, men continue to wear their tuxedos for weddings or other special occasions--and they look great doing so! If you're thinking about purchasing one for yourself (or someone else), here are some tips for choosing which style works best for your body type:
-
Choose black over midnight blue if you have fair skin and/or blond hair; otherwise stick with midnight blue as it will complement darker complexions better than black does.* Avoid double-breasted jackets unless they're slim fit because they can make you look wider than normal.* Stick with single vents instead of side vents if possible since side vents tend not only add bulk but also make hips appear wider than normal.
