Evening wear can be a little tricky to choose. Will I be under-dressed? Over-dressed? Too formal? Too casual? Look tarty? Look too young or too old?
So what should you wear? Well of course it depends on the dress code and occasion, if you’ve been invited out and are not sure the host is always happy to let you know how formal you should go. It also depends on your unique body and what flatters it. There are not really hard and fast rules about necklines and hemlines (but generally hemlines go down a bit with age).

You’re young, your skin is the tautest it will be now for the rest of your life, so this is the time of your life, that if you’re going to show a little skin if you want to. Don’t show all of it all at the same time though, keep it to 2 out of 5 areas (arms, legs, decolletage, back, stomach), so if you’re showing cleavage, and legs, don’t show off your stomach and back and arms at the same time. Cover something up!
Enjoy fabrics with sheen and shine, your skin is smooth, you don’t have wrinkles, smooth fabrics work best with smooth skin. Have fun and remain youthful, avoid anything frumpy which will age you beyond your years. Don’t worry about looking like mutton dressed as lamb, for you are a lamb!
