8 Fancy Dates Where You Can Wear a Gown

In grade school, there are several memorable occasions that give call for formal attire. These magical moments seem to fade as we grow older, usually with no prom or semi-formals to go to as adults. This can leave little opportunity to get dolled up and wear fancy dresses. The fun and glamour of wearing sophisticated gowns and dresses can seem totally obsolete as we grow up into adulthood. But did you know you can still find a good excuse to play dress up and have an enchanting night out. You could get a new dress for these occasions, or even whip out your old prom dress if you’re lucky. If you’re ready for more glitz and glam in your life, check out these fancy date ideas where you can wear a gown.

Wedding

Someone else’s wedding is the perfect time to wear a fancy dress, especially if the wedding is super formal. With a black-tie wedding, just about any style of formal dress with work perfect. The only general rule is not to wear anything more bridal than the bride, so try to avoid white, cream or ivory colored dresses.

The Opera

One of the most formal settings that is still in existence today is the opera. As it was a century ago, going to the theatre is still a high-end occasion that requires formal attire many times. So that old dress collecting dust in the back of your wardrobe can finally get some use.

Fancy Restaurant

A date night with your significant other is a perfect time to get dolled up. A 5-star restaurant will expect, and sometimes even require, formal attire. You can feel fancy and fabulous at a fancy eatery in a classy gown.
