The Magic of Color Combinations - Guide to Evening Dresses

Most of the expensive dresses are bought to wear in the evening parties. Evening dresses have a charm in them and a good color combination adds much more spark in the dress. Making color combinations sometime becomes much harder and a wrong comparison or a mismatch can spoil the entire beauty. Therefore the color combination should be given the much more attention especially when buying an expensive dress for the evening party. Various seasons have their own colors formals and before deciding a color as well as the dress pattern, one should make sure that this particular style and color goes well with the body type. There are some common colors like pastel shades which can create disaster and should be avoided for a perfect evening party.

The golden beauty look - The color gold is in fashion this season and will be the rage in many of the party scenes. Christmas and New Year is fast approaching and you could be the diva of the evening if you choose the golden color for your evening dress and carry it off well. A golden colored top goes well with a pair of black tights. Avoid teaming it with jeans for the jeans will steal away the glam and glitter of the golden colored top. You could wear a black mini skirt also and couple it with stockings for a more youthful and a trendy look. Wedge shaped shoes or strappy heels that wrap around your ankles will be a good match for the golden brocade look.

Metallic shades - Besides gold, you could try the silver or the copper shades for the ethereal romantic evening. Metallic shades are in vogue now and coupled with the right accessories, they can lend a very unique style to your persona. Gowns in metallic silver with lace work are some varieties of dresses in this category that look great on a toned body. Tops in shades of copper go well with trousers if the evening is going to be a formal one. You could use a shimmering mascara to give a soft look to the eyes. Tunics are also available in the silver range or in grey for a light evening. Avoid bright shades of lipstick. They kill the ensemble. Gold ballet shoes with silver or any metallic shade will complete the look for a perfect evening.

Black and white - This is the most tested and tried combination that has made many a heads turn if worn in the right way. Instead of using these two colors as a combination, try using the colors independently. Black is a very versatile and a flattering color that will suit any body type. If you are little on the chubbier side, black is magical in making you look trimmer. If you are on the thinner side, black flatters your figure. Black gowns, tunics, off shoulder mini dresses and footless tights are great for evening dresses.

White too is fabulous in the form of long flowing skirts. Any shade of white whether it is cream or off white is good for accentuating a curvy figure. Team it up with the right jewellery and you have a show stopper for a party ready.
