Black Tie Attire for Women: The Dinner Jacket's Long Afterlife

Black tie attire for women starts with the level of evening, not a demand to wear black. I trace the dress code from Tuxedo Park to floor-length gowns, chocolate brown, and the dressy cocktail option.

Fall Wedding Guest Dress Edit

A fall wedding guest dress has to handle a cool ceremony and a long evening, so this edit leans on long sleeves, high necks, velvet, satin and jacquard. Dozens of dresses in rich autumn colours, never white or ivory, from SEROYA and Zhivago velvet to Kay Unger jacquard, Badgley Mischka satin and A.L.C. gowns.

The Wedding Guest Dress, Finally Decoded

Wedding guest dresses are easiest to choose by dress code, and this sorts over 200 of them from black tie on. I start with gowns for black tie, then move through sequins, metallics and embellishment.

Black Wedding Dresses for the Bride Who Never Wanted White

Black wedding dresses have moved from rebellion to a perfectly reasonable choice for a modern bride. Courthouse ceremonies, evening receptions and second weddings have all made a black gown feel elegant rather than contrary. These black wedding dresses run from slinky silk to a full satin ballgown.

Plaid, Argyle and the Preppy Revival

Plaid and argyle are back in a more grown-up form. They show up as skirts, knit vests and tailored jackets, with the prep school reference worn lightly. This edit makes the case for a pattern that always seems to return in October.

The Long Sleeve Dress For Weather That Can't Decide

The long sleeve dress covers the arms without hiding the shape, which is why it works on days when the morning and the afternoon disagree. Nearly 250 dresses sorted by how much the sleeve is doing, then by fabric and neckline, then by knit, from Diane von Furstenberg's wrap descendants to Aqua's satin maxi, Ramy Brook crochet and Theory's ribbed merino.

The best black dresses for women cover every dress code, from strapless minis and tank midis to halter gowns and black-tie maxis.

Backless Dresses and the Art of the Open Back

Backless dresses put the interest in the back, with open backs, plunging cuts and cowl drapes that suit a plain front. I go through gowns, jumpsuits and maxi dresses, with Nookie among the gowns.
