A dress is one of the best ways to emphasize femininity, character, status or express your mood. When choosing a dress, a woman strives to create a unique image and stand out from her friends or colleagues. Therefore, choosing a dress to celebrate your own anniversary or a friend’s 30th birthday usually takes a lot of time and begins long before the event.
Fashion tips: a stylist advises how to choose the right dress for your anniversary
When choosing a dress for a celebration, it is important to consider:
- features of the figure;
- own style;
- financial opportunities;
- the scope of the event;
- seasonal trends;
- Are you going to wear the dress in everyday life?
Your body type can significantly limit your choice of styles and fabrics when it comes to purchasing or sewing a dress.
Plus size girls will have to give up fluffy skirts and too shiny textures, so as not to add unwanted volume to themselves. A plus-size figure and short stature, a floor-length dress would also not be a good solution.
Petite girls can choose any model, but it is better to avoid the “second skin” effect and naked dresses. Such dresses may not look flattering on a figure with small breasts or may be inappropriate if you are planning a family celebration.
The “pear” figure requires compensating for the lack of volume in the upper body, the “apple” needs to draw a waist, the “triangle” needs to add hips, and only the “hourglass” can allow for a variety of styles.
Your own style, sense of taste and habits should also be taken into account when choosing an elegant dress. You should not choose dresses with a provocative neckline or revealing neckline if in everyday life you wear closed items. Don't wear heels - don't choose dresses that dictate a stiletto heel or feel free to choose sneakers, fashion allows it.
If you love oversized and loose fit, don’t take tight-fitting dresses that require you to wear shapewear underneath, you’ll be tormented all evening.

Shopping for a fancy dress can be a pain on the budget, so decide in advance what you can afford for the entire outfit, including jewelry, shoes, bag, and beauty. This will make it easier to decide: to sew, buy or rent, mass market or a more prestigious brand, makeup artist or your own skills.
The scope of the event is important if you are a guest. In this case, it is worth clarifying the dress code and the evening program so as not to end up in a ball gown at a disco or, conversely, in an ultra-short mini at a Black tie party.
Seasonal trends are important, but you shouldn’t pay attention to them if you plan to wear the item for more than one year. There are trends that recommend colors that don’t suit you or jewelry that is too large, but they don’t suit “inches.”The autumn-winter season 2021 dictates a love for all shades of green, wine and red shades, black and check, metallic fabrics, glitter, 90s and jeans. Jewelry and accessories are eclectic, a lot of ethnicity, kitsch and classics. This makes it possible to choose a dress for your anniversary that will be easy to move into your everyday wardrobe by adding a simple jacket or laconic accessories.
What current accessories to complement your anniversary dress?
If the dress is laconic, classic and not pretentious, then accessories can add brightness and extravagance to your look. A transparent clutch with bright inscriptions, a colored or unusual shape can match the style of shoes and jewelry, but it may not match, leading its own part in this ensemble.
If the dress is very extravagant, then due to the classic shapes of accessories and shoes you can “calm it down”, making the image softer.
You can choose a total look of the same color, style or designer, but in this case you need to be sure that it will not be bad manners.
It would be a good idea to look at the options for holiday “capsules” recommended by Evelina Khromchenko, Alexander Rogov and other popular stylists whose taste is close to you. This way you can easily select a set that will please you in different situations.
