If you have all these beautiful semi-formal dresses in your closest and think you have nowhere to wear them to, think again. There are plenty of occasions when this kind of style would be perfectly acceptable and fashionable. There are also occasions where a semi-formal dress would not be fashionable, so this is something to think about as well. Here are a few occasions where you could wear those exquisite dresses you are hiding away in your room.
A Fancy Restaurant: If you are desperate to wear one of those dresses, you could always wear one to a fancy restaurant. This is one of the best places to not look out-of-place in a dress. You don’t even really have to have some special reason to go there, you can go just because. Get a group of friends together and tell everyone to dress up! A beautiful dress should never be tucked away in your closet never to be worn again.
An Awards Ceremony: These kinds of ceremonies happen a lot often than you think, especially if you are in high school or college. For college awards ceremonies, they are at least a few of them in the beginning and at the end of every semester. You may even have friends who are receiving an award so it would be a great time to wear a semi-formal dress. Most awards ceremony already has a semi-formal attire dress code, so it’s even more perfect! Have all your friends come with you and support those at your school receiving awards.
A Cultural Event: Cultural events are really fun to go to and are usually happening all the time in larger cities and even in some small cities. Many of them are designed for semi-formal attire and would be a perfect place to go to wear one of your dresses. Not only will you look fabulous in your dress, but you will get to experience a little bit of a different culture for the night!
A Night Out On the Town: If an event isn’t already planned where wearing a semi-formal dress would be fashionable, make an event yourself! Spend a night out in the closest city to your hometown and do some high-end shopping. Check out a few night clubs and bars with your friends and socialize. You could even go all out and make a theme. Have all your friends wear leopard-print dresses, sparkly dresses, or even have some kind of color theme. Or you could all wear matching dresses if you all have one of a similar style.
When people buy dresses for a particular occasion, so often they go unused or they are only worn once. Most semi-formal dresses are relatively pricey, some nearly $80, and it is a shame to only wear it once. You would get more of your money’s worth if you used that dress again for another occasion. Every dress was designed as a special creation by a famous fashion designer and should be used to its absolute fullest.
