Selecting what to wear on special occasions can be one of the most challenging decisions for many. Your manner of dressing and the thought that you put into it says a lot about you. The ability to differentiate between what is apt and what is not for every occasion requires impeccable taste and a keen sense of fashion. In this vein, here are some popular dresses that can be worn on special occasions.

1. Wrap dress
A wrap dress is what it sounds like. You wrap it around your body, and the knot of the dress goes around your waist to highlight the tiniest part of your torso. This creates an elongated effect on the lower half of the body, including your legs and thighs. It is perfect for every body type, but is especially flattering and compelling for women who have an hourglass or pear-shaped body. It does not just accentuate your curves, but also adds some that may otherwise not be seen. You can wear the wrap dress on any occasion, such as a party, relaxed lunch, dinner date, or family get-together.

2. Prom dress
A prom night is one of the most memorable nights for many. Prom involves a lot of pictures, entertainment, memories, and fashion extravaganza. Your chosen prom dress should be comfortable, age-appropriate, beautiful, and elegant. Since prom is about a lot of moving-around and dancing, make sure that the dress is up till the calf, so as to not let it get into your way when you sing and dance.

3. Lace dress
There is nothing more sophisticated and elegant than a lace dress. These dresses are ideal for all formal events, regardless of their length. You can easily find a shape and style that matches your preferences and body type. You should bear in mind that the longer it is, the more formal it will look.

4. Cocktail dress
Cocktail dresses are best suited for night parties and gatherings. They can be glamorous, delectable, and chic. They are semi-formal dresses and the perfect “dress-to-impress” attire that you need in your closet.

5. Skater dress
Such outfits are not only for the skater girls; they are ideal for occasions, where it is fine to show off a little leg. They have a tighter bodice and loose bottom. The best thing about these dresses is that you can style them in endless ways to match the occasion.
