News: iafrica.com Lifestyle Column #12

We are only a heartbeat away from the silly season now, and some of my clients are already planning their outfits for the celebrations and parties that take place. The problem is that, if it is not a smart casual dress code - do we really know what we are doing? I wrote this piece as a short guide to getting eveing wear right and you can read it in full if you click here.

Just remember that evening wear can only be white tie (formal), black tie (semi-formal), or cocktail/lounge suit (informal). And all of these have a set of guidelines. This article provides all you need to know about each of them.

Enjoy the parties - and feel free to invite me as I love an opportunity to don my ballgown and tiara!
