When you need a new dress, the obvious question is what kind should you buy? You can choose from a seemingly unending list of lengths, colors and styles. But you need to understand that there are some dresses only suitable for certain occasion. For example, wearing a mini dress to work is generally frowned upon. The following is a list of just a handful of the many dress types you will find when you go out shopping for a new addition to your wardrobe.

1. Tuxedo Dresses
Tuxedo dress are so named because they somewhat resemble the tuxedos that men often wear. That resemblance is achieved with buttons on the fronts of the dresses and lapels. They also resemble long blazers, which makes them perfectly acceptable work attire in most offices. Their hemlines typically end above the knee, but they can vary. You can also find tuxedo dresses with or without sleeves.

2. Midi Dre
When you want a dress that can be comfortable while being suitable for various occasions, a midi dress is a good choice. Midi dresses end between your knees and your ankles. To achieve the appearance of a longer silhouette, choose a slitted midi-dress. You can also give yourself more height and accent your chosen dress by choosing a complimentary pair of heals.

3. Shirt Waist Dresses
Shirt waist dresses have collars. They also feature front buttons. The buttons run the length of the dress. They can be accented with ribbon, lace or other embellishments. Shirt waist dresses are typically casual and good for most informal occasions.

4. Sweater Dresses
A sweater dress is exactly what it sounds like. It is a knitted dress that is essentially an elongated sweater. Sweater dresses typically have skirts ending near your knees. They are comfortable and casual dresses you can wear for informal occasions.

5. Tutu Dresses
Tutu dresses are fun and playful. They are reminiscent of ballerinas. They feature gathered tulle skirts. Their bodices are typically form-fitting and sleeveless. Choose from a variety of bodice colors and styles.

6. Shirt Dresses
Shirt dresses or t-shirt dresses are essentially elongated shirts with flared hemlines. They can be t-shirt-like or feature collars and buttons. Both versions are much more casual than many other types of dresses. You can wear them out shopping or when spending time with friends, but they are not recommended for formal events.
