There is always place for nice dresses or ball-gowns, but the fact that women now have a choice of what to wear for formal occasions is a huge step in the right direction. Formal pantsuitscan be worn to many different formal occasions such as weddings, horse races, movie premieres, bar mitzvahs, or the opera.

The styles of evening pantsuits vary from straight legged pants to skinny legs, and the jackets can be short and cropped, bolero style, tailored or long and flowing. The trick with purchasing an evening pantsuit is the same as with any other pantsuits:

• Think about the function(s) to which you will wear the outfit.
• Make sure that you select the correct style for your figure.
• Rather go for a neutral color or black if you cannot afford to purchase more than one evening suit.
• Invest in some quality accessories to complement your outfit.
• Invest in a nice pair of high heeled shoes to be worn only with this outfit.
• Try to find fabrics that do not wrinkle or crease easily.
  

You could make some very solid choices by rather investing in the modern trend of separates and matching them up to form an evening suit than buying a full suit of the same fabric. This way you can mix and match easier and could easily create two evening suits by simply buying one really stunning jacket and two pairs of trousers in different styles and fabrics. Add a few elegant tops of different colors and fabrics and the sky is the limit!

Remember that accessorizing with smart high heeled shoes, nice jewellery, beautiful silk scarves or pashminas, belts and clutch bags can also change an outfit dramatically. Formal pantsuitsare luxury items of clothing so treat them as such and take care of them.

No matter what style of evening pantsuit you decide to buy, one of the most important factors to bear in mind is that you must be comfortable in your outfit, so make sure that the style that you choose does not only suit your body type, but that is fits in with your personality as well, or you will not feel totally at ease when you are at your formal function. A formal outfit does not need to be conservative – if you are an outgoing person, then let that reflect in the outfit hat you choose to wear – you do not have to be afraid to wear color just because it is a formal suit; if your choice of color for an evening dress would probably have been red, as it is a strong color and also your favorite color, then splash out with your pantsuit too!

Formal pantsuitsare also wonderful ideas for the mother of the bride to wear to a late afternoon or evening wedding, as it can serve well for the wedding itself and for the reception later. Try to remain in the general color scheme of the wedding, but this does not mean that if your daughter has decided that her main color is green you have to purchase a green suit. Choose the color according to what you like and accessorize with some shades of green, either in your blouse, or splash out with green shoes and handbag.
