Red carpet, opera ball, wedding - special moments in life demand special appreciation. What the respective event means to you, you can show especially through your choice of dress. Especially evening fashion, which is reserved for festive and glamorous days, makes an event unforgettable. Because thanks to high-quality materials, shiny fabrics and elegant cuts, evening fashion always surrounds a special aura and lets its wearer become the true eye-catcher of any event through elaborate details such as sequins, applications or flounces.

Nevertheless, some women often buy evening dresses only when they are really needed. Then, however, the panic is often great - where to get in a hurry a evening dress that looks good, fits the occasion and underlines the own type? Which possibly conceals even small figural weaknesses? The solution is: LODENFREY!

With us you will find the right gown for every occasion: from purist to elegant, from simple to glamorous. Whether you want to appear classic or extravagant - with the evening fashion of the designers represented here you are always well advised. High-quality brands, such as Talbot Runhof, Etro or Paule Ka, deliberately set accents in the clothing. So why not score with designer fashion for a festive occasion?


Which dress code fits at which event?

Even if a woman believes that she will never have the right clothes in her closet, it is not really witchcraft to appear stylish at an exclusive event. There is a suitable wardrobe for every occasion and an individually suitable style for everyone. For evening events in particular, the rule is: come overdressed rather than underdressed. Often, however, the invitation to an event will already contain a note on the dress code. But even without this, there are unwritten laws about what clothing is appropriate for what occasion. In the following, we decode the most common dress codes for you so that nothing stands in the way of your grand entrance.


The festive ball - glamorous in a long gown

Fashionable superlatives are in demand at exclusive evening events such as the pompous Vienna Opera Ball, so here you can shine with a festive gala outfit. Ladies appear in a floor-length, elaborately crafted evening gown in a discreet color scheme, which looks particularly elegant when combined with a stole or jacket and discreet accessories such as long, white gloves, elegant genuine jewelry and a small evening bag. To match the dress, wear closed pumps with a heel of about six centimeters.


Tip for your companion:
Terms such as "big formal suit", "White Tie" or "Cravate Blanche" presuppose a black, single-breasted tailcoat with white vest and white bow tie. A tie or black bow tie, on the other hand, is reserved for the waiter and thus clearly taboo.


The red carpet - Exciting in the modern Cocktail- or evening dress

If the red carpet is rolled out at film premieres or award ceremonies, you have a much greater scope for interpretation as far as the dress code is concerned. Nevertheless, the rule of thumb is: the more elegant the event, the longer the dress may be. A long evening dress is always the right choice for the red carpet, but you can also opt for a knee-hugging cocktail dress or a festive suit. The only important thing is: avoid garish and bright colors or patterns and make sure you coordinate your outfit with your partner's in terms of elegance beforehand.


Tip for your companion: For the gentlemen a Stresemann or dark suit is the outfit of choice - at least if the event starts before 6 pm. After 6 p.m., "Tuxedo", "Black Tie (Optional)" or "Cravate Noir" stand for a dark tuxedo, which is worn with cummerbund, vest and black bow tie or tie. For the lady, only the noble evening gown is suitable, which can be stylishly complemented by a stole or a short fabric jacket.


The wedding celebration - discreetly in cheerful colors

Whether in the private area or officially, a wedding is always a special celebration, to which also the guests should dress accordingly. If a dress code is noted on the invitation, the guests should also dress according to the wishes of the bride and groom. If no dress code is indicated, you should ask the bride: If she wears a floor-length wedding dress, the dresses of the wedding guests will also be longer and more festive. If she has opted for a short dress, you can go for an elegant cocktail dress, a chic silk suit or even a pantsuit without hesitation. In any case, however, the bride and groom are the center of attention at their wedding. Therefore, choose a discreet wardrobe so as not to outshine the bride. The colors white, cream or champagne are accordingly taboo and too dark tones or even black should be avoided.


Tip for your escort: The gentlemen must also remain behind the groom in the elegance of their outfit. If the groom wears a tuxedo, the wedding guest is content with a dark suit, appears the groom however in the tailcoat, it is quite adequate for the wedding guests to wear an elegant tuxedo. As a daytime equivalent for the tailcoat in the evening, it is also customary for the groom, bride's father and guests to wear "cut", "cutaway coat" or "morning dress" at classic weddings until 5 p.m. - traditionally with tie or plastron.




The opera or theater visit - stylish in a sheath or cocktail dress

If it is not exactly a premiere or the Bayreuth Festival, the dress code for a cultural event is not too strict today. So it is not mandatory that you dress up for a visit to the opera or theater, yet it is appreciated especially for evening events. Suitable would be, for example, a cocktail dress with a short jacket, but often you are already dressed in style in an elegant sheath dress with blazer and chic pumps, or a dark pantsuit with a plain-colored blouse.


Tip for your companion: If the gentleman likes it elegant, he wears a suit or even tuxedo, but also a look in casual chic consisting of (black) fabric trousers, plain-colored shirt, jacket and neat lace-up shoes is quite appropriate. Again, to avoid faux pas, coordinate your outfit from the degree of elegance beforehand, especially in the evening.


The elegant dinner - Classically in the small black

All the same whether attendance in the star restaurant, receipt or with an exhibition opening, for meetings with festive character the small black is always a good choice. The different variations range from the classic sheath dress, which looks elegant and representative at the same time, to the knee-length pencil skirt, which - together with a fine blouse - can be worn perfectly at business dinners with customers. High-quality accessories such as high heels or a bag made of fine genuine leather round off the look skilfully and make the little black dress a stylish all-rounder for festive occasions of any kind.


Tip for your companion: he is always well advised with a two- or three-piece dark suit and tie. Plain cufflinks and smooth leather shoes further enhance the look, while large patterns, on the other hand, should rather be avoided. Gentlemen who prefer a more casual look can also opt for modern combinations for less formal occasions, such as jeans, shirt and jacket.


The glittering party night - sparkling in the statement look

If it is not exactly a theme party, you may confidently refrain from the strict dress code when inviting to parties. All that sparkles, glitters and shines is permitted: Whether sexy cocktail dress made of sequins or silk top with leather leggings and high heels - you should make a statement with your outfit. This way you are guaranteed not to be overlooked.


Tip for your companion: Depending on the location, party society and time of year, the options for the gentleman range from a fashionable suit to jeans and T-shirt. Therefore, in case of doubt, it is best to ask the host about the appropriate attire.
