The discussion over the appropriate attire for a black tie event will never cease. And when you factor in the holidays, discrepancies are aplenty.My opinion will never change. Floor length. Period.
Let's do the math. Add up the amount of formal events you attend in a given year. More than 5, less than 5? Maybe just 1? Out of 365 days, the opportunity to go all out is few and far between. Besides, the holidays are special. It is an honor to wear something spectacular, something red carpet worthy. It says, 'I not only value and respect the hosts of the event, I value and respect myself.'
Cost aside, because in all honesty, you can find something beautiful just about anywhere, consignment boutiques included. The key is knowing what to look for. Quite simply, elegance.
So when the invitation arrives for that black tie holiday soirée, save the cocktail dress for the cocktail party. Go for magnificence!
