hollies long cool woman in a black dress The The Hollies' 'Long Cool Woman':

Black can swallow light, or make things look sharp. Either way, what it does, unquestionably, is put the focus on the person wearing it

Elegant and polished, these slinky gowns have simple silhouettes that make them the ideal canvas for all sorts of accessorizing

You should avoid wearing suits that are not black or midnight blue, unless the invitation specifically states Creative Black Tie and you choose a tasteful dark alternative

Semiformal gives you flexibility on comfort, but be sure not to dress too casually

Backless bras with adhesive are great for short wear or smaller busts, while options like transparent-back bras give better structure for longer events or more support.
