Pick special occasion styles and formal length dresses for black tie weddings. Maxi dresses, cocktail dresses, skirts with pretty tops, or jumpsuits can all be appropriate. Just remember not to wear white, or anything too ill-fitting or flashy. Men can opt for lighter color suits or blazers for daytime; darker suits for the evening.
