FAQ

1 What’s the difference between a black tie dress and a regular formal dress?

Black tie is kind of the dress code where you get to go all out. Black tie calls for floor-length gowns or ultra-elegant cocktail dresses, while regular formal can be a bit more boring. 

2 Can I wear a colored dress to a black tie event, or does it have to be black?

 No, a lot of people wonder if “black tie” means only black.. Yes, but you can pair it up with rich jewel tones, metallic heels, which are acceptable and look stunning.

3 Are there any rules for shoes and accessories with black tie dresses?

Dress Outlet’s beautiful masterpiece goes with all kinds of accessories. Not really, but elegant heels and cute clutch bags. More classic picks like watches and gold jewelry for extra glam, if you want something more classy.

4 What kind of outerwear works best with the dress for colder weather?

You want something that matches the vibe of your dress, maybe luxe and cozy. A faux fur wrap or a soft stole is in such a mood, or try a sleek shawl if you want something simple but chic. We’ve got a bunch of styles like that at The Dress Outlet.

5 How do I pick the right black tie dress if I’m not sure about the dress code specifics?

You really can’t miss a classic long dress in a gorgeous fabric like satin, chiffon, velvet, you name it. We have a ton of great choices at the Dress Outlet. Just pick something that makes you feel good and looks a little extra.
