Black Tie work event - help with my look

142 replies

CoconutNoodles · 21/04/2023 11:05

I'm possibly going to a black tie event for work in October in a hotel in London. Need a stupidly amazing dress and I want to feel on top of the world.

The dress needs to be:

1 - understated sexy but no legs on show or cleavage - I like showing shoulders, back, and calves

2 - no patterns or prints - solid colour

3- comfortable enough for me to sit down, walk, dance etc

4 - suitable for kitten pointed toes heels

5- not glittery, shiny, all gold or all silver etc

I will also need to buy a suitable bag and suitable shoes, preferably a style that I can use over and over again

I'm keen on creating a modern / youth / unassuming look yet chic and tasteful.

Please help with links, photos, tips and etc - i missed the opportunity to go last year so this year I want to enjoy to the maxxxxxxx.

Thank you!

Sorry, no help or suggestions on a dress but wow, you're gorgeous! Sorry, I'm aware that sounds a bit creepy but from your criteria for the dress, and the kind of look you want to show, it sounds as if you don't have bags of confidence. You look amazing, beautiful smile and will be able to pull off so many of the dress suggestions on this thread.

Thanks:) ❤️
I rarely go to these kind of events and this one is work related so I want to look formal and not show too much skin.
Also as my budget is limited I’d rather buy something I can wear again and will not look bad in a few years time.

Also I like to be mysterious. I’m single, that is why I want to be sexy but not too sexy, my seduction game doesn’t come from the clothes💃🏻

I would 100% go for a vampires wife dress, they entirely meet your criteria and are gorgeous

This is one which fits your brief.

@Whataretheodds,
What a wonderful dress. Sleek and sexy!

ThaliaLuxurySpa · 21/04/2023 20:35

@CoconutNoodles
You're lovely looking, btw!
With your size and colouring, you could certainly carry off a fairly diverse range of styles.

But hope you find the dress which makes your heart sing.
