What is an evening dress?

An evening dress is designed for nighttime events where glamour is the dress code. Our collection of evening dresses is designed for every kind of night out. Have an evening black-tie wedding incoming? Showpo has several evening dresses for you to choose from. For the wedding, you should go with a long ball gown made in satin, lace, or silk. It will have you floating across the room and lighting it up in the process. Maybe you plan to head to cocktails on a rooftop bar after happy hour? A sleek midi with a thigh-high slit is chic, flirty, and perfect for showing off a bit of skin. For the Showpo girls who love to turn it up at a party, sequinned evening dresses are a guaranteed show-stopper; they have you shimmering under the lights and in turn, catching every eye in the room. And if you want something timeless and classy for a ballet or a gala? A classic long black evening dress never fails, giving elegance with a hint of mystery.

What to wear over an evening dress?

Showpo evening dresses are stunning simply, but once you’ve added the right shoes and accessories, you’ve cranked the wow-factor up a notch (many notches, actually). When it comes to layering, think cropped blazers, faux-fur wraps, tailored coats, or lightweight shawls that add warmth without stealing the spotlight from your dress. Want full glam? Slip into strappy stiletto heels, grab a cute clutch bag, and swipe on a bold red lip,  instant va-va-voom.

How to style a slip dress for evening? How to dress up a maxi dress for evening?

Got a bright dress you’d rather soften up? Think loose waves, a little gold hair clip accessory, pearl earrings, and barely-there heels; guaranteed you’ll be the belle of the ball. A slip dress instantly feels evening-ready when paired with elevated accessories, sleek heels, and polished beauty touches that lean luxe rather than casual. The best part? Evening dresses are crazy versatile. With just a shoe swap and an accessories change, the same dress can take you from a sunset party in the afternoon straight onto the dancefloor after dark. To dress up a maxi dress for evening, opt for statement heels, metallic jewellery, a structured clutch, and a bold lip to elevate the look instantly.
