Finish your soiree look with the right add-ons
Accessories and outerwear can make or break a formal outfit. The right heels, jewelry, and layers keep you comfortable and polished from arrival to late-night.
Shoes that last the night
- Heels: Block or sturdy slim heels (6–8 cm) balance elegance and stability.
- Pads: Add gel pads/heel grips to prevent slip and pressure points.
- Back-up flats: Foldable flats for late night or long walks.
Jewelry and bags
Match metal tones to your dress hardware. Statement earrings pair well with clean necklines; delicate necklaces with deeper V or sweetheart. A structured clutch or mini bag keeps essentials tidy.
Outerwear
Opt for an evening coat, structured wrap, or sleek blazer. Avoid bulky layers that compete with the dress line. For winter, choose a tailored wool coat; for summer, a light shawl or cropped jacket.
Undergarments
Seamless underwear and slips prevent lines. Use strapless or convertible bras for tricky necklines. If using shapewear, pick breathable, non-restrictive pieces.
Hair and makeup
Keep hair secure (soft waves, sleek bun) to avoid fussing. Makeup: long-wear formulas, set with powder/spray; a bold lip or eye—not both—for balanced glam.
Care after the event
Air the dress, spot clean, and steam. Store on padded hangers in a garment bag.
