Formal gowns are an essential part of every wardrobe, so it's important to choose one that's right for the season and occasion. For example, summer is the best time to try new colors, especially in bright and bold hues. Explore this trend and have fun with formal evening gowns that make a statement. Opt for jewel tones that look great on every skin tone, like electric orange, royal blue or dark pink. Keep the fabrics lightweight with flowy chiffon, ruffles or crepe. In winter, a darker palette is in order. Think navy blue, deep forest green and rich red or burgundy. You'll want to choose luxe wintry fabrics, like velvet, that will keep you warm and complement the cold weather. No matter the season, embrace the romance of a formal event with eye-catching accents like sunburst pleats, asymmetrical hems and lace embroidery. These details add a dreamy touch to your look and are perfect for all kinds of weddings and occasions. Looking for more dress ideas? Shop our floor-length maxi dresses. Want more options?
