Ok, girls, it's time to get serious about prom! We need to find a dress first, then shoes, accessories, a handbag, a hair stylist and a makeup artist. Is someone calling a limo company and making a hotel reservation? Yes, there is a lot of planning that goes into prom, but it is worth it because if you plan every detail, you will have the most amazing night of your life! Now, there might be some drama, like another girl might have your same dress or your date brings you an ugly corsage, but stay cool and you will be the shining star of the night!

So, you should already have the dress and considering that handbags are the most important accessory, let's talk about why you need a Christian Dior bag for prom. You might already own a Dior or you might not want to copy the girls that have one, but listen up... Christian Dior handbags are the hottest thing out right now and you need to be most fashionable girl at the prom!

Now that you have decided that you will buy a Dior to complete your fabulous outfit, which one do you choose? One of my favorites is their black evening bag with Swarovski crystals on the chain. Clutches are all over the runways and this clutch is the one that everyone wants. If your dress is pink, you have to buy the Lady Dior in pink. Not only is this bag quilted (like the quilted Tory Burch flat that everyone has), but it comes with silver charms! These are just some of my favs, hopefully you love them too!

If you still need more Christian Dior handbag options, one of the best ways to find them is to go on YouTube and watch the Dior runway shows from fashion week. That's how I find all of the newest bags and you will also see tons of great hair and makeup ideas that you can use when you are getting your hair and makeup done. I hope that reading this has helped you find the perfect Dior handbag for your dress and I know that you will be so happy with your choice, especially with all of the looks that you'll get from the other girls!

My final advice is make sure that you show this article to your mom... as soon as she reads it she will agree that a Dior bag is exactly what you need to complete your outfit!

The Best Prom Handbag This Season is a Christian Dior Handbag!

Why is Ella Moss my favorite clothing line this summer? Its not that it's the most noticeable line to be seen in, it is certainly not outlandish, nor is it the most expensive designer clothing line out there. In fact Ella Moss is my favorite line in spite of these facts. Its style and fit are an understated luxury that fortunately does not take loads of money buy.

It is no surprise that designer Pamella Protzel has created a line of clothing in Ella Moss that allows the wearer to express individuality and a sense of style. The Ella Moss clothing line was inspired by Protzel's life experiences in Los Angeles from early adulthood to the present. The Ella Moss clothing line is a perfect combination of creativity, eccentricity, playfulness, and elegance, and the care each piece is made with is evident in the quality of the clothing. The Ella Moss clothing line showcases a woman's femininity and casual beauty with filmy, soft fabrics that flow over the body and accentuate the curves. The Ella Moss clothing line and designer Pamella Protzel have been showcased in popular magazines like People, Women's Health, Cosmopolitan, among others and stars in Protzel's native Los Angeles are big fans of the line. The Ella Moss clothing line is designed with every body type in mind, giving variety to any shape of woman, rather than making the wearer conform to the garment.

The main reason why the Ella Moss dress range is so popular is because it follows the season's transitions smoothly. No matter what's in style at any particular time of year, you can find appropriate styles in the Ella Moss range. There is literally a style of Ella Moss dress to suit every woman. No matter whether you want a long, sultry dress, or a short, cute girly dress; Ella Moss will have something to suit you. This year women's spring and summer fashion revolves around dress's and so it is at this time of year when the Elle Moss Dress collection is in high demand. As for the 2008 range, the focus is on playful sexy styles.

The colors are bright and light and if you find a particular Ella Moss dress that you like but you aren't overly keen on the color, the chances are that there will be the exact same dress in the color of your choice! As spring and summer is when most people jet off on their holidays, the Ella Moss dress range is perfectly designed to be light, comfortable, and sexy. The only downside to some of this lovely range is that some dresses can only be dry-cleaned. So if you are looking to take them on holiday you should keep in mind you may need to find a dry cleaner while traveling.

You can find Ella Moss for sale online at most luxury women's designer clothing boutiques like http://ww.UrbanMinx.com

Ella Moss, My Favorite Clothing Line This Summer

A major part of our development as a species has been through art. Cave paintings, small carved fertility symbols and jewelry all tell a story of our progress through time.

It's easy to imagine one of our long-ago ancestors picking up a pretty stone with a naturally occurring hole, examining it with curiosity then stringing it on something. One of the things we most certainly have in common with those that went before us is a natural inventiveness and interest in our environment.

I like to think that everyone then was an artist, that music and art were intertwined in their lives. Of course it's hard to know for sure if that's true, but I do know that some of the most beautiful ancient artwork was primitive and honest. It's too bad we can't also hear them sing and know what their music and voices sounded like.

The concept of the world as seen by its most intimate observers was really a snapshot using the materials they had to hand. I think that kind of "photograph" is vastly more interesting than the digital kind we have now. After all, you have to imagine the lives they led, which is already a creative activity.

Adorning one's body is a very old concept. The neck is an obvious place to hang something interesting from; it stays on easily and is positioned in a place where it will be seen by anyone approaching. I expect both males and females wore some type of necklace.

The animals killed for their flesh were thoroughly utilized. The fur was warm and put to use both as blankets and shelter. The bones made wonderful decorative pendants. They were easily drilled and perhaps carved as well.

Before jewelry was favored for beauty and status it must have been more important in a religious sense. And by that I mean as a talisman or just something to ward off evil. As artists gained skill they began to carve wood or bones into more creative shapes.

And then, of course, the utilization of silver and gold allowed even more detailed as well as valuable jewelry. Wouldn't it be wonderful to go back in time and see how the very first pendant using casting methods was created? Was it a "happy accident" or the result of a planned and postulated series of steps? I would imagine it was a little of both.

When I think about these things, it makes me feel connected to my brothers and sisters in the past. Their lives were so different, yet the urge to create something of personal beauty has persisted through the millennia.

And even more interesting is that the same basic forms that were worn decoratively then are worn today. Earrings, necklace pendants and bracelets have adorned our species for thousands and perhaps over a million years. Fashion and art are intertwined. And art is, after all, just another form of communication.

Necklace Pendants - How Jewelry Began

There are many luxury watch brands on the market today, take a look at the likes of Blancpain, F.P Journe and Franck Muller for some of the highest quality timepieces available.

One of the most famous names on the planet that most people recognize is Rolex. Many would question, however, that these would be the best watches to buy for your money. I am sure at some point you have looked at several websites promoting the wonderful timepieces that made them one of the leading names in the field of watches. There are many other watch brands out there worth looking at such as Panerai, Bell & Ross and IWC that i personally prefer in terms of looks and individuality. So what is it that keeps drawing me back to the Rolex Submariner when i am looking to purchase a quality watch?

The Submariner is a line of watches that was first introduced to the public in 1954, though Rolex had started developing them two years earlier. Highly resistant to water, they were mainly designed for diving which is a must for me in my decision making process.

The watch style itself is one of the most widely recognized collections of luxury watches in the world, the Submariner line is still replicated and very well sold to those who cannot afford the original ones. This is another reason that goes in my "reason not to buy" column.That was until they released, in 2003, the Rolex Submariner 50th Anniversary watch which was a limited edition piece to celebrate one of the most desired lines in their history. The Green bezel and Maxi dial are the main distinctive features of this new design approach.

Many Rolex fans, including myself, rushed to get this attractive timepiece as soon as it appeared, mainly because a Rolex watch is one of the most reliable watches in the world. However, the Rolex Submariner 50th Anniversary watches have more than precision and reliability to offer. The green bezel makes them look both stylish and individual. That final touch of green is a quite refreshing element meant to improve the classical appearance of the well-known Submariner. The redesigned dial with more prominent indicators makes one think of the Yacht-Master which is probably the source of inspiration for the Maxi dial of the Rolex Submariner 50th Anniversary watches.

As always, a lot of consideration is put into their design. With the Rolex Submariner 50th Anniversary watches, the hour markers became larger and the minute hand slightly wider. Having more luminescent paint on, these watches are much more visible, especially in the dark. Thus, their initial diving purpose has successfully been enhanced by following the new Maxi dial idea.

The Submariner is undoubtedly a very elegant watch and the features that have been added to the Rolex Submariner 50th Anniversary watches make this line one of the most colorful options for the modern man. It also creeps ahead of watches made by the likes of Panerai and IWC due to the history and the fact that they stand out from the standard Submariners in their appearance.

Mens Rolex 50th Anniversary Submariner Green Watch - Is This The Best Rolex Submariner Watch?

The Saga of Leather and Steel

"Makin' a curve or takin' the strain
On the decline, or out on the wain
Oh everybody breaks down sooner or later
We'll put it to rights, we'll square up and mend
Back on your feet to take the next bend
You weather every storm that's comin' at cha

And I'm heading out to the highway
I got nothin' to lose at all
I'm goin' to do it my way
Take a chance before I fall
A chance before I fall"

That was British Heavy Metal Gods Judas Priest screaming about the immensity of living in a free spirit way back in the early 1980s. And for them, like millions others across the globe, that very essence of freedom and lifestyle was literally synonymous to Harley Davidson motor cycles and accessories.

Just like the bikes, the Harley Davidson boots also became a craze among bikers, MCs and OMGs all over. Many thought that if the Harley Davidson bikes meant freedom of lifestyle, then the Harley Davidson boots reflected the freedom of articulation. In fact, some bike fanatics even went to the extent of saying that it was the boots that made one stand out in a gang, irrespective of the bike he was riding.

Anyone has got to say, there is no point denying the fact that Harley Davidson boots are, in a short phrase, finesse personified. With their metal and leather manufacture, flat heel and rugged soles settled on the pegs, they are any day a man's dream.

Hence, its no wonder that Harley(s) made repeated appearances in popular culture including Marlon Brando's "The Wild One" and later became associated with a number of legendary Heavy Metal bands like Motorhead, Judas Priest, Saxon and Manowar to name a few sparking off a frenzied fan following of the name itself. After all, its all about the "...spirit of the wheels..."

Harley Davidson Boots - A Piece Of Americana

There are plenty of reasons to buy perfumes and colognes. You do not need a reason to treat yourself to one of your favorite designer fragrances. But there are times when you want to give the gift of perfume to someone else. So what do you do?

Buying perfume for someone else can be a minefield of problems if you do not pay attention to some subtle things about the person. It is a unique blend of personality and mentality that comes together to make up a person's essence. The goal is to capture their essence in the perfume bottle.

Buying perfume for someone else begins with observation of what they typically wear. This includes clothing, make-up and their regular perfume and cologne. She may be a body lotion type of person, so you have to keep that in mind, as well as what types of clothing and fragrances are worn during the day, versus at night.

A person who tends to dress-up more will typically wear bolder fragrances. Someone who wears more casual clothing might wear a softer, more subtle fragrance. This will also change if dressing to the nines for an evening on the town. Different occasions call for different scents.

If you still cannot decide on a particular scent for someone, then you can go the sneaky route and ask someone in their household what they typically wear and then find something either similar or buy the exact brand of perfume and cologne they usually purchase. It may not be the most original idea but it could save you money if you were to pick a totally off fragrance that they would not want to wear.

Oh, and one further note. Some people are allergic to more concentrated scents, such as those found in eau de parfum and essential oils, so keep this in mind if you know the person has sensitive skin. You may want to go with a body lotion of their favorite scent instead of the perfume version.

So what if you had to play detective in order to go about buying perfume for that special woman in your life. She will get a lot of pleasure out of the fact that you cared enough to get a gift. It may not even matter if you messed up and picked the wrong scent. If you feel that you got it wrong, then you can always take it back and exchange it for something more appropriate.

Perfume For That Special Someone As A Gift

Frankly, Paul Frank sunglasses veer toward the borderline nerdy. Taking the retro 1950's look to heart this manufacturer is everyday youth oriented fun wear. With names like "not in my air force" these styles give the imagination flight.

Also sporting a creative moniker are "lovers in the backseat" and "my bright future". Perhaps the niftiest of the Paul Frank sunglasses line is "let the good times roll". And that's just what the wearer will do. As you can see, these sunglasses and other products from the Paul Frank line are really fun. Both guys and gals will get a kick out of a pair of Paul Franks.

Let yourself get taken away to a land of 50s comic strips, manly superheroes who can do no wrong in spandex, spunky women journalists and doctors and young sidekicks which catch phrases like 'Holy Toledo'. Because that's the way you'll end up looking at the world through a pair of these lenses. Even the pair called, 21st century digital boy is a retro remake of those classic aviator sunglasses we all know and love.

A bright color palette indicates the style of Paul Frank and his sunglasses. This maker likes to take the every day mundane and twist it around for his designs. It's known that Paul Frank has been collecting vintage sunglasses since he was 14 years old and he's now making vintage sunglasses with his artistic skills. Many of the sunglasses designs are hand drawn by Paul Frank. Even though he's got himself a great fashion house, Frank is still getting down to the nitty gritty work of designing.

Speaking of his designs one of the more eye-catching shades, is his pair of sunglasses sinfully labeled House of Jealous Lovers. They are deliciously dark in a deep maroon shade with wine colored lenses. The curved front keeps them flush to the face to hide any envious glances the wearer may be sending towards a certain attraction.

Every pair of Paul Frank sunglasses is made by hand, using a tried and true method for creating solid, high quality and longer lasting sunglasses.

Retailers will even adjust the pair of Paul Franks sunglasses you purchase to suit your head for the best fit. A combination of Zyl material and wire core insertions inside the temples are what make it so easy to adjust these sunglasses to every customer's head. The metal inserts and plastic frames also make these sunglasses lightweight, so they seem to be barely there at all.

The lenses are made of CR-39 polymers with a scratch resistant coating for those clients who are always dropping their sunglasses. Lenses also feature 100% UV/UVB protection from the sun's rays so you can play in the sun all day long. Also bragging to be resistant to heat, chemicals and other extreme weather conditions these sunglasses claim that the lenses won't warp or blister.

For some extra fun some of the Paul Frank sunglasses feature mechanical metal snaps allowing people to apply interchangeable magnetized logos to the temples of the sunglasses. It's a hoot, as they would say in the good old days.

Women's Dress Sandals - How to Pick The Right Pair?

If you have decided that oversized Gucci sunglasses are the look you want to be seen wearing during the sunny spring and summer months, the only thing now is to make sure you select the perfect style to compliment the shape of your face. If this usually causes a bit of a problem for you, then read on and you will find some helpful tips when making your choice of which sunglasses are right for you.

As we all know Italians are the epitome of chic and elegance so by choosing Gucci sunglasses you are already half way to achieving your desired look and improving your sleek and high class appearance. Many of the styles available are timeless yet still follow the latest trends, assuring you that you will always be on top in the fashion stakes and wearing the very best of quality sunglasses.

Gucci sunglasses, of course, are ideal for those who simply want to wear them for practical reasons too. There are no gender or age restrictions for the people who wear them and they are just as popular amongst men and women and the young and old alike.

Let's face it, what could be more glamorous than a pair of oversized Gucci sunglasses. Probably one of the most all time favorite brands in the world, Gucci boast many celebrity-worthy sunglasses styles this season and people like Lindsay Lohan, Gwyneth Paltrow, Sophia Loren, Jack Nicholson and John Wayne are just some of the well known names who have been spotted wearing Gucci sunglasses of late. They clearly adore their sunglasses whether for shading their eyes from the sun or for being simply placed on the top of their heads as a fashion statement.

And so to the shape of your face .... The Gucci Signature Horsebit Round Plastic Sunglasses are absolutely fabulous for those of you with a square or rectangular shaped face. This particular model is oversized, round shaped and made of plastic as the name would suggest, and sports a certain vintage appeal with the Gucci signature horsebit on the temple for that extra touch of flair. Deep oval frames should be avoided for this particular shape of face.

Moving on to the rounder face - the Gucci Oversized GG Logo Temple Round Sunglasses are the ideal for this shape of face. Jackie Onassis springs to mind immediately when thinking about these sunglasses which are the perfect luxury accessory with the acetate frames and stylish detailing on the temple area.

If your face is long and you have a strong chin you should avoid short, rectangular shaped frames. The frames of your sunglasses need to cover as much of the center of your face as possible as this will shorten the look of your face.

As a general rule of thumb, it is best to choose the opposite shape to your face when selecting your new sunglasses. However, the exception to this rule is that large oval frames usually look great on most face shapes so it is always worth checking out which design of sunglasses flatter the particular shape of your face.

When deciding on color, the overall look you want to create should be visually harmonized, suiting your complexion or the make up shades you wear. Black and tortoise shell are absolute classics and look super on most people.

When choosing your sunglasses for this season, remember, it is essential that your sunglasses help you to look stylish and well turned out as well as offering your eyes protection from the sun. So, this season opt for oversized Gucci sunglasses, and you are sure to look cool and a true and dedicated follower of fashion.

Gucci Sunglasses - How To Select The Perfect Oversized Sunglasses For You

Early time measurement devices were pretty crude and inaccurate, yet provided a method of keeping track of time. Can you imagine today's society existing without an accurate method to tell time? Estimates for first instruments used to tell time date back as much as 5,000 to 6,000 years ago. The first known clocks were the sundial and the water clock. The sundial shows the position of the sun from the shadow cast by the center protrusion known as a gnomon. Water clocks work by measuring waterflow from the containing vessel. Later water clocks also used gears to improve their accuracy. This led to later development of weight-driven clocks sometime during the 13th century. These clocks were large and used on church towers and government buildings.

By the 16th century, advancements had been made by the use of springs instead of weights, allowing for the development of smaller clocks with greater accuracy including portable clocks or watches. Because they were still larger and bulkier than watches we know today, these watches were worn on chains around the neck. They were only owned by the wealthy and symbolized great status for the owner. It was during the 17th century that the first pocket watch was introduced marking the beginning of timepieces for all individuals and were the most often used form of portable clocks from the 16th century until the first wristwatches surpassed their popularity after World War I.

The era of the pocket watch brought great strides in the precision of the timepieces as well as new features. The portable watches worn around the neck were square and boxy. Soon after the introduction of the pocket watch, artisans began softening the look by using slimmer cases and rounding the corners. Ornate designs were engraved on the cases, jewels were used for decoration, and the bearings in the mechanism were diamonds. Pocket watches then and now were often manufactured with a hinged lid to protect the face of the watch. A hinged lid case on a pocket watch is known as a "hunter case". A chain, also called a fob, that attaches to the waistcoat, pants belt loop or jacket lapel is used to secure the watch.

In later years, a second-hand was added and the 19th century brought more manufacturers as the quality and precision continued to improve. During the second half of the 19th century, the explosion in the railroad industry demanded the need for accurate timepieces for safety. In 1887 the American Railroad Association met to define the requirements for railroad watches. Unfortunately, it took a disastrous train wreck in 1891 for these requirements to become widely accepted. However, it was not until 1893 that a set of stringent standards for railroad pocket watches was actually adopted. Pocket watches meeting these standards were known as "railroad-grade pocket watches".

Although their popularity has waned in recent history, pocket watches are still today, coveted heirlooms passed from fathers to sons and daughters and on to to grandsons and granddaughters. Antique vintage pocket watches are sought after by collectors all over the world.

Evolution of the Pocket Watch

Leather lingerie and other clothing can stay beautiful for years. It is important, however, you take some basic steps to protect your investment.

Leather is a natural skin and will mold if it is not exposed to air. So, never store your leather items in a plastic garment bag or airtight container. It is best to place it on a hanger in a well ventilated place and cover it with a cloth or sheet if you are concerned about dust. Keeping it on a hanger will also help the item keeps its shape. If it does get wrinkles and you must use an iron, be sure to put the iron on the lowest setting. Never use steam and put a heavy cloth or other material between the garment and the iron. Be very careful not to overheat your leather or you could ruin the item.

Most cleaners offer professional leather cleaning. This is a good option if you need to have an item deep cleaned or if it has bad stains. This option is not necessary for small stains or occasional cleaning however. You can use a common leather cleaner like saddle soap for this. You can also use a leather polish in between cleanings to keep your garment looking like new. It is safe to wipe down smooth leathers with a damp cloth to remove light dust. However, never expose your leather garment to extreme wetness or put it in a washing machine.

If your leather lingerie or clothing does get wet, allow it to air dry and do not expose it to heat. Once it dries, applying some type of leather conditioner is recommended to ensure it stays supple. If you are concerned and know your leather clothing will likely get wet, you can apply a water repellent as a preventative measure.

Leather clothing is a beautiful addition to your wardrobe and it can be worn any time of the year. Leather is a breathable fabric that is not overly hot if worn in the summertime and provides warmth in colder conditions. With the proper care, your leather lingerie and street wear will provide you with years of 'like new' wear.

How to Care for Your Leather Clothing

Well we're well in to Spring and headed for Summer despite the thermometer lately where I live. So it's time to get serious about what we're going to wear. Are hemlines going to point the way to the economy this year? Things are looking bleaker by the minute on the economic front but the hemlines are really giving little indication as to where we are headed.

Minis are still very much in evidence which is fine by me. Some of the clothes I've looked at are interesting like the boho stuff around and then some are absolutely stunning like some of the Helmut Langs Sunner's, Rachel Roy's and Jenni Kayne's I've spotted.

Summer means beach to me and pool parties and racy swim gear and great pants and shorts. Speaking of which, the move by the denim labels to white is a relief for summer weather.There are Summer weddings galore and graduations and then there are vacations and travel. Of course the dollar and gas prices limit the latter pretty severely but it's not going to stop me enjoying the summer, finding some great clothes and getting a heavenly tan to go with some very sexy party numbers.

The beach and pool arena seem a little static. I've seen little to excite me in the swimwear lines but then maybe I've not looked in the right places and I'll have to try to rectify that. Cover-ups and wraps and skirts to pop on over the bikini or monokini are a little better than the suits themselves. My suits from last year are all trash anyway so I'll have to do something about that anyway.

My nephew's graduation from Annapolis is close by so I'll need something scrumptious for that lovely event. Think we'll go down and spend a week in Maryland just prior.

I probably am going to the Preakness and up to Saratoga too so need more good looking stuff for those. Then there's a couple of Garden Parties that are very dressy and several that are informal and fun too. I'll need an array for them.

I know we'll spend time at the beach house and must get lots of casual stuff for down there. Swimsuits, pants, shorts, summer frocks.

Heavens, I'm forgetting shoes as well. And there are some really exciting high heeled evening sandals to acquire for the parties and weddings. I feel that shoes are really exciting right now, don't you?

So I guess I'm going to be busy! Want to start this week? Let's begin with Nordstrom's in Providence Place. I'll call you later in the week to set it up. Ciao!

Fashion is an important factor to join your way of dressing up, you always want to have the latest trends and innovations. The clothes you wear, is highly influenced by the seasons, may them be fall-winter or spring-summer. For every season, the designs and trends are in constant change, as well as the predominant colors. Another important segment for the creation of clothes is the type of fabric being used. It won't be the same fabric for summer as it may be for winter. The fabric choice determines how comfortable you will feel. These may be cool fabrics for summer, warmer ones for winter and others like natural fabrics, since some people can be allergic to synthetic fabric in some textiles. Some natural fabrics are Hemp, Ramie and Jute, similar to Linen but go through a different plant process.

In spring-summer, fabrics like cotton, eyelet, tropical wool and linen are the most commonly used for spring dresses as well as shorts or beach wear, these types of fabric soak sweat and allow the air to flow in the clothes for a fresher feeling on hot days. Meanwhile for Fall-Winter fashion, obviously the fabrics are thicker to block the air from the clothes and maintain the skin in a warm temperature, these include, wool, leather, tweed and different types of knits that beat cold and hard winds.

One fabric that never goes out of style and you can wear in any season is the jean. You just have to be aware of the cut, depending on the new trends and tendencies. Jean fabric is not only used in pants anymore, there are also dresses, jumpers, shirts and even handbags. Poplin is also a popular choice for shirts in any occasion; wear a classic white poplin shirt with your summer shorts, as well as underneath your wool coat in winter.

Cotton is the principal, most popular fiber used in the world, so cool, breathable and comfortable we may even ask ourselves, what would we do without cotton? Since cotton wrinkles, polyester was added to give it a nice body for everyday use. The cotton fiber is from the cotton plant's seed pod. Silk is another word for sensual or elegance, associated with wealth, Silk is one of the oldest textile fibers known to man. It has been used by the Chinese since the 27th century BC. Silk absorbs moisture, which makes it wearable for summer and also for winter.

It is always important to be aware of the fact that being authentic and unique is the best part of following season styles. You should always be comfortable with what you wear, never letting go of your customs, in every country the styles are different, and these include colors and fabrics in all seasons for every culture.

Fabrics For Every Season

Shopping for formal clothing can be a challenge. Picking the right outfit for an occasion is usually a person's first consideration and this step alone can prove to be difficult. After you have decided what type of outfit you want to wear, finding the right formal clothing at a local store can be a challenge, and if you shop online you will probably find too much to choose from. If you need formal clothing for a special upcoming event, you can probably find exactly what you want online, but you should ask yourself a few questions first to determine exactly what you need.

The first consideration you should take into account is what type of event you are going to. Evening events usually require different formal clothing than daytime events, and some events such as a "black tie" affair require the most formal type of clothing while others such as a cocktail party have more relaxed standards. For the most formal type of events, tuxedos are appropriate for men and gowns and longer elegant dresses are appropriate for women. Formal clothing for a cock tail party or more relaxed formal event can include a suit for men and a shorter dress or cocktail dress for women.

After you have determined what type of attire is expected at your formal event, you should then take into account your body shape and type. Retail stores will probably not have a great selection of formal clothing for plus sizes, unless you have a specialty store nearby. You will be able to find a variety of formal clothing for every shape and size online, but be sure to consult sizing charts and manufacturers suggestions for sizing before placing your order. You should also be sure to order your formal clothing with plenty of time before your event so you can exchange your outfit if you find that it does not fit as expected.

Just because you are required to dress formally does not mean that you have to give up comfort. Nothing can ruin a wonderful night like being stuck in tight itchy formal clothing. It is easy to see if a specific outfit will be comfortable if you shop locally and can try it on, but if you are shopping online you will have a harder time deciding if the formal clothing you are going to purchase will be comfortable. One way to get an idea is to look at what the clothing is made out of. Natural fibers such as cotton are usually more comfortable than synthetic ones, and formal clothing that includes materials that will stretch slightly, such as spandex, will give you more comfort than rigid materials that may be too tight.

One last consideration when shopping for formal clothing is the accessories, and for ladies, hairstyle that you are planning to wear. Men should try to match their accessories such as watches, cufflinks, and ties to the clothing they purchase, or vise versa, and women should consider their purse, shoes, jewelry, and hairstyle when buying formal clothing.
