But while many of us likely have cocktail dresses knocking around our closets, it's rarer to find a ball gown just waiting to be dusted off for your next black tie event

Keep your accessories minimal

The back of the dress is open, revealing a touch of allure and sophistication

It wont, however, fit into daytime ceremonies easily (with the possible exception of a smart vineyard-style wedding) or be appropriate if its going to upstage the wedding party, so tread lightly

If youre attending a black-tie event or a formal occasion like a wedding or funeral, then stick to wearing black shoes with black pants
