The Long Dress Look

(Atlantic- Pacific)

Whether it be a spring formal or your high school prom, every lady needs to know how to wear a long dress. A very elegant staple to any girls wardrobe that can be tricky when it comes down to it. Whether you're picking the dress, shoes, accessories or clutch, every piece of the outfit has to come together in a perfect match made for heaven. I have worn a long dress only on special occasions in my life and with the helpful and insightful fashion eye of my mother and my grandmother, I've (hopefully) been able to put together the "Long Dress Look." Though the entire process can be quite complicated (fittings and finding everything) when you put the gown on, you suddenly become simply elegant and it becomes worth it.

First: The Gown
Possibly the most challenging part to any "Long dress look" is finding the long dress. Finding the perfectly elegant gown that fits can be a challenge but once you find it, it can be amazing. My favorites are below:

Donna Morgan // Aidan Mattox // Eliza J // Black Halo Eve // Oscar de la Renta // Marchesa

Second: The Shoes
For the shoes you want something that is not only comfortable enough to get you through the night but also elegant enough to compliment your dress. Something not to high but not to low is defiantly the way to go, some of the best choices are below:

Aldo Wedge // Cole Haan Pump // J Crew Suede Pump // Jessica Simpson Pump // Kate Spade Pump

Third: The Clutch / Accessories
Once the dress and the shoes have been picked, something to add on and something to throw your phone and lip stick in is the final piece to the puzzle. You want something that compliments your dress but isn't too "match-y." Here are some of my favorites that I can rely on:

Nadri Arrow Bracelet // J Crew Necklace // Toms Marketplace Druzy Stone Earnings // Kate Spade Watch // J Crew Leather Clutch // Kate Spade Clutch // Nina Clutch

What do you think of the long dress look?
Enjoy!
