It can be tricky to style an evening dress, but with a few simple tips. First, choose a long evening dress that is flattering for your figure. If you have a curvy figure, choose black evening gowns with a fitted waist and flared skirt. Choose long-sleeved evening gowns with a dropped waist and a longer skirt if you are petite. Next, choose women’s evening dresses with the suitable fabric and color for your skin tone. Opt for an ivory or champagne-colored evening dress if you have pale skin. If you have darker skin, opt for a rich jewel tone like emerald or sapphire if you have darker skin. It's essential to keep your makeup simple. A little bit of eyeliner and mascara will do the trick. Sexy evening dresses don’t have to be too flashy or dramatic. As for your hair, a chic updo will showcase the elegance of your long evening dress. Sweep your hair up into a high bun or chignon, leaving a few wispy strands framing your face. Finally, accessorize with jewelry and heels in complementary colors.
