How to Choose the Right Dress Code for Every Event

Every event or gathering requires a specific dress code. Choosing the right style helps create a look that highlights individuality and aligns with the occasion. Gasanova collections offer refined solutions for a wide range of formal events.

Office Style

Office (business) style is the ideal choice for business meetings and professional settings. It emphasizes restraint, confidence, and professionalism. Classic dresses and tailored suits combine elegance with everyday comfort. Neutral colors such as black, gray, beige, and white dominate this style.

A key element of office style is the classic blazer. Versatile and timeless, it adds structure and formality to any look. In Gasanova collections, blazers play a central role and appear in nearly every season.

Black Tie

Black Tie is a formal evening dress code typically reserved for galas, premieres, and ceremonial events. It is considered one of the most elegant and sophisticated styles. Traditionally, Black Tie includes long dresses with refined silhouettes.

Modern interpretations allow for more flexibility. Classic Black Tie is often combined with contemporary elements, such as asymmetrical cuts or bold design accents. Today, Black Tie is commonly divided into three categories:

• Creative Black Tie — allows experimentation with classic silhouettes and details.
• Black Tie Invited — expects formal attire while offering more freedom of choice.
• Black Tie Optional — allows a choice between a traditional evening gown or a cocktail dress.

Black Tie looks are often completed with refined accessories, such as evening clutches, gloves, or jewelry crafted from precious metals and crystals.

Cocktail Attire

Cocktail attire is less formal yet elegant, making it suitable for parties and semi-formal gatherings. This dress code allows for more freedom in silhouette, length, and fabric choice. Silk tops, shimmering textures, and statement dresses are common elements.

For example, a bold red dress can become the focal point of a cocktail look, adding confidence and expressive energy to the outfit.

Modern fashion encourages mixing styles and rethinking traditional dress codes. Gasanova collections blend classic and contemporary elements, making it easy to build cohesive looks for any formal occasion.
