Graduation ceremonies, romantic candlelit dinner, promenade ball, parties and gatherings have one thing in common; they are all events that require a particular dress code. It is not only a shame to go to a formal family reunion clad in sweat shirt and jeans; it is also rude as it is an indication that you did not honor the host of the gathering as well as the other guests who made the effort to dress well and prepare for the occasion.

It is good for a woman to have at least one dress she can wear for formal occasions if she doesn’t usually attend gatherings. Yet, for a woman who usually attends parties and gatherings, having just one dress to wear on all those events would not be enough. Of course, for your graduation ceremony, you wouldn’t want to wear the dress everybody had seen you wearing last week during the school dance. As every gathering is different from the other, so should be the kind of dress one should wear for the occasion. A prom night is different from a graduation ceremony, although they are both considered formal events. No lady would want to wear a ball gown on her graduation; otherwise she’ll be the talk of the town, and not in a good way. Thus, it is essential that one should know how to pick the right dress depending on the kind of event she is going to attend to.

As wedding and receptions do not really have a strict general dress code, what you should consider is the motif of the event. Romantic dates on the other hand call for feminine colors. Afternoon parties which are held in a garden call for a dress, may it be plain or printed, with the hemline falling just a little below the knee.
