“a beautiful thing is NEVER perfect” New Look New Look Black Tie M&S Nars While long black dresses are classic, don’t feel tied down by this. Short black dresses are also acceptable, as well as long colored dresses. Just be sure to choose a more dressy fabric, such as silk, to keep the short or colored dresses from feeling too casual. Accessories should be kept to a minimum; think a simple satin clutch and sparkly earrings. Hair and makeup: Go for a classic chignon, matte neutral eyes, red or burgundy lip.
