A short black homecoming dress is a timeless look that can be dressed up or down, depending on what energy you want to bring to the event

Embroidered, button-down linen or Hawaiian shirts are typically OK for men, but make sure the print is not distractingly bold

If youre eyeing island formal dresses for a destination event, look for elevated details like luxe satins, embroidery, or a dramatic one-shoulder neckline that turns heads without upstaging the scenery

Worn sans-tie, the collar points slide underneath the jacket lapels making it look casually polished when done right

Pair with black pumps and delicate sparkling jewelry for a special night out
