If it's too cold for you to wear a summer evening gown on a fall wedding night, but putting on your winter fur makes you feel boiling hot, then this article is for you! Fall is a beautiful season, but its evening events always make us wonder about what to wear to fit its not-so-cold-yet-not-so-hot weather. You probably tried to substitute your evening gowns with other outfits, but you only find yourself ending up either too under-dressed or looking too 'formal'. Today, we've brought you a bunch of style ideas and tips on how to ditch your evening gowns and still look so chic on a fall evening event!
1. Pop up your ordinary fall floral dress with these things
In the image below, notice how casual the dress alone may seem. However, adding red lipstick and heels turns even more heads! Accessories in general can just transform the whole piece, if you pick the right ones. These accessories could be earrings, bags, shoes or even makeup!
2. Integrate satin in your outfit
Satin is a dreamy fabric that gives classiness when used suitably. Whether it's your vest or the top under it, satin will boost your outfit and make it just perfect for an evening event. Another tip is to choose a shade of satin that is so close, or almost the same, to that of the rest of the outfit (pants/skirt/etc).

3. Try an evening suit that fits your shape, it's so trendy!
Just make sure that if you pick a long sleeved/non revealing upper piece, wear it with a skirt. If your vest is open, wear a pair of pants. Remember, knitted/handmade wool-like materials are extremely elegant.

4. Mix and match a pleated skirt with your favorite blouse
Pleated skirts will always be a perfect match for the fall season. When in chiffon, it never fails to add classiness to an outfit. Always remember to pick a matching pair of heels and a suitable blouse, and I bet you'll ace this outfit!

5. If you can't imagine anything but a dress, try this design
Some people are just never convinced that an evening wedding or event can be attended in anything but a dress, and that's totally okay. If you're one of those people, stay keen on picking a design that is almost long sleeved with a skirt that shows the footwear. This photo is the perfect example of how a dress with a very popular fall color, satin material and a shirt-like upper part can be so elegant, especially if it is worn with a pair of strappy heels that look like ankle boots from a distance.

6. Make colors stand out with basics
It's not about about extraordinary designs at all. It's always about how you can dress differently and wisely, even if you pick very basic pieces from your wardrobe. This outfit is a great depiction of this; as you can see, this blogger decided to pick a red pair of baggy pants with just a perfect basic off-the-shoulder top. Also notice how the classic heels added elegance to the overall look.

7. Do this if you decide to pick a vest and a pair of pants
By 'this', I mean that you can play not only with the colors but also with the materials. Again, as long as you choose to stay on the safe side, design wise, then try to go beyond all expectations when it comes to materials. Fabrics with illumination or metallic/sparkly materials always add completion to any outfit even if it's a very simple one.

8. Try the blouse-skirt trick
It may sound so boring to tell you to wear a blouse and skirt for you bestie's wedding night, yes? Well, not really because these tricks will turn anyone head over heels! You can pick any two harmonic shades in satin fabric and form a unique feminine outfit. You can also use your plain black high waisted skirt and pop it out with a patterned, unique blouse and heels, a bag and statement earrings.

9. Make it 'not just a jumpsuit'
Because we know you're probably bored that everyone now wears jumpsuits, we advise you to pick a unique design if you decide to wear one. Make sure it is in a light fabric that won't annoy you, and remember that long sleeves are suitable for the fall's slight breeze.
