Summers are here and so is the season of parties. Your niece`s birthday, Weddings, Corporate Events nowadays every event seems like it has a dress code. The confusion that comes along with invitations is not for everyone. I mean what the heck does white tie? And smart casual has to do with the dress etiquette. 

We are going to decrypt the dress codes and simplify the terminologies you encounter with the invitations for holiday parties. No need to spend hours online looking at sexy dresses only to end up not purchasing them since you have no clue where you will have the opportunity to wear them.  

Even when you get an opportunity, not having an attire that is party appropriate makes you drop the very idea of attending the event itself. The dresses we bring to you will definitely turn heads and are suitable for each individual event. But before we jot down the dresses let`s familiarize ourselves with the terminologies.

1. Casual Dress:  When you come across the term dressy casual/ Casual Dress, your mind should always go to a combination of different items (blouses and skirts, shirts and flair pants, jeans and button-downs, casual dresses, and obviously some clean shoes to pair it with) the possibilities are endless. The popular style is often referred to as smart casual as well.

2. Cocktail Dress: These types of dresses are commonly referred to as cocktail gowns and the type of attire that features below the knee and shorter lengths. The outfits are appropriate when an individual has been invited to a cocktail party. It could also work for prom, formal, and semi-formal events.

3. Beachy Formal: The word beach plays a very significant role in defining the attires and silhouettes or else people might show up wearing suits and long gowns. The idea is to wear something nice and elegant yet inbound with the limits of the sand. 

4. Black Tie: It is fairly simple to follow and for women, it usually means wearing night-out long gowns or formal dresses.

5. Black Tie Optional: The `optional` aspect refers to formal dresses that are not ultra fancy and can be paired with jewelry and accessories. Short and long dresses work just fine when it comes to these particular silhouettes.

6. White Tie: This is as formal as it gets. You need to show up in the classiest and fanciest outfit you have. It means wearing floor-length gowns. 

Now that you are familiar with the terminology, each type of event does not necessarily mean it requires a different outfit. You need to make smart choices when it comes to shopping for dresses. Have your picks at an outfit that is world-class, pocket friendly, and delivers just the vibe the event requires.
