Night Out Dresses

The evening women's dresses you will find at Marilyn Boutique vary greatly in designs, patterns, cuts, lengths, as well as colors, prints, styles, and fabrics. You'll find evening dresses including maxi, chemise, midi, wrap, mini dresses with sequins. There are also velvet dresses straight out of a novel and floral dresses straight out of a fairytale. Many animal-printed dresses are available because this print is very dominant this year. Finally, satin dresses, which are among the most chic fabrics, are also featured in the selection of evening wear.

Mini dresses are a very popular length for evening wear, and Marilyn Boutique has an extensive collection in this style. You’ll find designs such as floral, wrap, semi-formal, and sequin dresses. Fabrics include satin, velvet, lace, and lurex. You’ll also find elegant ribbed dresses to pair with shoes and accessories to create stunning outfits.

Above a evening dress, you can wear an outerwear piece that depends on the season, the length of the dress, its style, and the texture of the fabric. If you're wearing an evening dress in winter, it’s a good idea to wear a coat or fur; you can also add a blazer under the coat or fur for extra warmth and styling, known as layering. You might also consider wearing a leather jacket if the texture of the dress allows it. In summer, you can opt for a jacket or a shirt as an outerwear piece, or a knitted cardigan with a loose weave and cool design.

To make an evening dress more casual, you should pair it with very simple accessories, provided the dress can be styled down. For example, a dress with sequins is impossible to wear casually. However, if you're dealing with a satin, velvet, or ribbed dress, which generally have unique textures, you can make it more casual with the right styling. Try pairing it with a more rock-inspired jacket, such as a leather one, or a cardigan that matches the texture of the dress. Opt for flat shoes, such as boots, sneakers, or Mary Janes. Wear a more casual and large bag, preferably in solid, muted tones to balance the shine of the evening dress.

This year’s trends for evening dresses forecast very lightweight fabrics that emphasize the body's silhouette. Another trend is the use of waterproof materials, giving dresses a shinier appearance. Additionally, a strong trend seen in pants, blouses, shoes, and bags is prints, specifically animal prints like leopard or zebra. Bold patterns with color decorate most clothing and accessories, and evening dresses are certainly influenced by this trend.

The accessories you can pair with your evening dress depend on several factors. For a dress with a high neckline or turtleneck, avoid adding necklaces; instead, opt for earrings or bracelets. For a dress with a low neckline, you can wear a necklace, but avoid earrings to keep the focus on the neckline. To add a nice geometric detail, consider adding a belt at the waist to accentuate your curves. If the weather is warm and it’s not too cold, you might also wear a cover-up like a pashmina.

Marilyn Boutique wants every woman to feel comfortable, confident, and joyful, and often, women find these feelings through their clothing. For this reason, a characteristic of the company’s clothing range is that you will find most sizes, including plus size. You’ll find plus size evening dresses with bold prints, designs like wrap, shirt dresses, or lace. So, choose your dress, pair it with accessories, a bag, and shoes to create the perfect outfit for your wardrobe.

To achieve a stunning look with an evening dress, highlight your strong points. If you want to draw attention to your face due to a very striking dress, pull your hair up, wear earrings, and high heels. If you want to emphasize your legs, opt for a mini dress, limit the accessories on the upper part, and wear bracelets on your arm if there are no sleeve details. To accentuate your silhouette, wear a fitted dress, preferably midi or maxi; in all cases, choose high shoes to add length. Also, ensure your outerwear does not overshadow your dress; opt for something elegant but not more dazzling. Finally, in 99.9% of cases, the best bag will be a small clutch.
