Choosing what to wear to your school formal is always a difficult task, after all it's a significant fashion moment that you'll be looking back on for years to come, so you want to get your outfit choice right.

By opting for the classic colour combination of black and champagne/pearl you are certain to make a stylish statement, both chic and timeless. This will ensure that you don't cringe in five to ten years time when you pull out your school formal pics.

The trick? If you go for a black dress accessorise with champagne and neutral colours, similarly if the dress is pale choose black accessories to accentuate the overall look. In addition look for a dress that finishes at, or just above, the knee. This is a flattering length for all heights and body types - you want to be sure your dress finishes at a point where your leg's width is at it's smallest. Plus be sure to choose shoes with a sturdy heel that will allow you to dance in all night long and enjoy every minute of the evening blister free!
