Casual.
Casual attire offers you a wide range of clothing choices. 
Your comfort is a priority, and you can opt for shorter, less structured silhouettes or a set of stylish separates. Pair tailored pants with a favorite top, wear a simple knee-length or midi dress, or pull your look together with a beautiful jacket. 
You have the option of completing your look with sandals or flats and accessorizing any way you please.

Cocktail or Semi-formal.
You have a lot of flexibility when dressing for a casual or semi-formal event.
Wear refined separates or choose a knee-length or midi dress with a bit of lace or subtle sparkle. 
Cocktail is about relaxed elegance, and strappy sandals, heels or even stylish flats are appropriate, as are graceful statement accessories that add a bit of drama.

Formal. 
Formal events run a gamut from the more whimsical "creative black tie" to stricter white tie celebrations. 
You have a broad variety of options for both coverage and comfort: Choose between higher or more open necklines, sleeved or sleeveless styles, structured or flowing cuts. 
Select a gown that has subtle shimmer or top with a jacket that adds a touch of sparkle. 
Formal styles are generally paired with heels, but the long hemline can also conceal a pair of tasteful sandals or flats. 
Add a matching handbag and accessorize with jewelry that lets your gown take center stage.

Custom Events.

If an invitation suggests a "custom," "festive," "beach" or other style, consider the season, time of day, and whether the event has a theme or a color scheme.

When in doubt, consult the host or ask a friend for advice.

No matter the occasion and dress code, our collections include everything from chic separates to standout formal gowns, to cover you for any event!
