A black dress with an embellished collar is not suitable for a formal office dinner or for those that are expected to hold a top job all night.  It just needs to have the right accessories to give it the correct style. Also remember that black is a colour that is not very flattering on some people, so if you choose to wear a black dress it is always important to choose the correct shade of colour.

When it comes to patterns and prints, the trend towards tribal has continued with this style of dress. Remember, tribal is a design that combines elements of both western and eastern styles. Therefore, if you choose a design with a mixture of these elements you will be guaranteed to look good.

Cowl Back Dresses are not only very appealing from the neckline but also make the wearer look extremely feminine. For something different try a cowl back dress with a halter neckline but with a contrast colour.

A red dress with a green or blue halter neckline is an example of this type of colour combination.

Remember, when choosing this style of top, you want to find a style that makes your neck look great. Necklines that are high slits will not accentuate the face and make you look sexier. Instead, try to find one with an empire neckline as this will enhance your face and frame your features perfectly.
