Have you ever wondered, what in the world do I wear in a formal setting? If this is you, look no further.

Fortunately, you don’t have to limit your wardrobe (or creativity) to dress up for a formal event. This post is to help shed a little light unto the things that I think work best for all of those fun banquets, events, awards ceremonies, dinners, and competitions!
COLOR:
Colors are perfectly fine. It is always safe to go with standard black or white, but if you are feeling daring, don’t be afraid to rock a colored dress! You can also add pops of color if you're wearing pants with a blouse or simple piece of statement jewelry.
Recommendations:
Recommendations:
- Red, navy blue, beige, or white dress/suit
- Pastel blouses/button-up shirts to tuck in with a solid-colored pencil skirt
- Gold/silver statement jewelry
TOP:
You can pair a nice blouse with cardigan or fitted blazer, or go with a tucked-in collared shirt. Remember, wearing a brightly colored shirt is always an easy way to make your outfit *pop*!
BOTTOM:
A nice pantsuit, slacks, or knee-length pencil skirt is always ideal. If you’re wearing a skirt, it is highly recommended that you wear either black or nude-colored stockings underneath. If you’re not a fan of pant bottoms, you can always opt for a nice black dress and pair it with a cardigan or blazer!
SHOES:
High shoes or flats? Just be comfortable! I’m only 5’1, so my mom always makes me go for a wedge. But of course, a standard black flat is always a safe bet!
If you opt for the heels, they should be close toed (at least this is the case for interviews and business settings). If you're wearing heels for a recital or party, your toes can show!

ACCESSORIES:
You can complement your outfit with a watch, simple pair of earrings, a statement necklace, clutch, or cute side bag! Just make sure not to go too far with the **bling-bling**- you don't want these accessories to detract from you- you're the star!
Ultimately, wear something that you feel confident in- something that makes you feel empowered, unique, and strong.
