1. The type of party - Probably the most important factor. Once you know what kind of party it is, formal, casual, poolside, semi-formal, (you get the idea) it'll be a cinch making up your mind on the other essentials!
2. The dress style - This is a huge deal! Know the dress style you're after, and everything else is a breeze. Opt for elegant pieces for formal parties, sequin dresses or satin maxi dresses with a cowl neck and high slit are great choices for that added glam factor. Or go casual, even fancy loungewear for a sleep over party with your best girls!

What are the trending colours and fabrics for party dresses?

White and pastels are all the rage right now. If you prefer a more simple colour palette, go with darker tones of chocolate, emerald and black. Prints are not to be missed either. Floral prints are a classic when it comes to embracing the summer vibes.
