A printed evening dress can look amazing. Of course, it needs to be the right print – a print that makes a statement without overpowering the cut or color of the dress. You don’t want something too loud – you want subtle, beautiful, and flattering.

If you’re wearing a printed evening dress, remember to keep the rest of your outfit simple. Your shawl, shoes and clutch should be solid, and you should wear jewelry sparingly.
