How many times have you looked into your closet and thought, “I have nothing to wear.” I think most of us ‘woman’ will say this every time we plan to go for a function or night outs. One of the top 10 essentials every woman should have in her closet is a gorgeous evening dress (apart from your black LBD)! I consider a wardrobe essential if I have the following attributes and I advocately use them as my personal rule of thumb:
1. It must be versatile. This is the most important quality of an essential piece of clothing when I choose my evening dress. One key factor in versatility is colour!

2. It has to be of good, perhaps even exceptional, quality. A wardrobe essential makes a statement, and anyone looking should be able to tell that it’s top shelf. High quality also means that it wears well — very important for a garment that you’ll rely on again and again.
3. It should be in a classic style. You don’t want your wardrobe essentials to ever really go out of fashion.

Black evening dress - versatile for any formal function
No doubt having a beautiful evening dress in order to steal the thunder of the evening is every woman's hidden fantasy. There are various occasions where we need to have at least one evening dress for an important event like an award ceremony, formal evening events etc. What is more important - a woman should dress up to create her personal style statement (not just people around you!).
Colours like red make you look fantastically edgy. You can try a red coloured ruche dress featuring a deep V neckline and side cut outs. Such a pattern would be absolutely apt for a grand shindig. The ruche texture looks amazingly unconventional and is sure to make you look like a million bucks.
