What to wear to graduation: a dress that sits comfortably under the gown, then stands on its own at dinner. Length, neckline, color and comfort, plus what to wear as a guest.

From white tie to semi-formal, each evening dress code asks for a different length and silhouette. What each one means, in one table, and how to dress for it.

An engagement brings two occasions: a photoshoot and a party. How to choose an outfit for each, from color and silhouette to the way a dress moves on camera.
