Every occasion has an unwritten dress code. Your outfit should suit the mood of the event, it’s a given! For instance, you may wear a pantsuit to a business meeting, and a sundress to a beach party, but you can’t interchange the two. With so many occasions all the time, constantly buying different pieces of clothing can get expensive. So, we’ve put together five dresses to wear across every occasion. No matter the event, you’ll find a match among these.

1. Lace Midi
An elegant dress you can wear for most semi-formal occasions, a lace midi is a below-the-knees dress made with a laced fabric. The ones in pastel shades are perfect to wear for a special noon family gatherings or a lunch date. Wearing lace makes you feel pretty the moment you wear it. So, this is a must-have for your closet. Simple and classy, you can also amp up your look with some statement-making ornaments.

2. Sheath Dress
We can’t stress on this enough, a sheath dress can be a lifesaver when it comes to last-minute business events. You can complement it with a nice pair of heels and you can get on with your work! Having a sheath dress in colors like grey, olive green, or navy blue to keep things smart and classy. You can wear it to any professional event, be it an interview or even a client meeting.

3. Sundress
A sundress is a top outfit for casual events. You can wear it to a beach party, a day out in the city, and—our favorite—a Sunday brunch. To say it simply, you can wear it to any fun event that requires you to dress up a bit. Depending on your personal style, you can choose between different patterns. Floral print dresses give that cheery spring look and a basic white or yellow sundress is great for the summer.

4. Evening Gown
You may already own one of these, and if you don’t, we suggest you get one right away. An evening gown is a flowy dress, usually made of expensive fabrics. It’s “the dress” to wear for wedding receptions, soirées, and any formal celebrations. What’s more, it comes in variations that you can choose according to your style.

5. Shirt Dress
A shirt dress is a fine choice for casual events. It looks like an oversized shirt that is super comfortable and stylish at the same time. A shirt dress will usually have a collar, buttons, and cuffed sleeves. You can pair it with a denim jacket and some funky canvas shoes to add some personality to your look. Don’t like jackets? Add definition to your waistline by wearing a dress belt around your shirt dress.
