Shop Tadashi Shoji’s Jewel Tone Dresses for Any Event

Tadashi Shoji offers jewel tone dresses for all seasons and occasions. Though jewel tone formal dresses are a favorite for winter and autumn for their deep, rich hues, they will be admired at any formal function. Jewel tone dresses are named after the vibrant colors of gemstones, like sapphires, citrine, ruby, and emerald.

Jewel Toned Dress Styles

Since “jewel tone” refers to the color of the dress, they can be in any style, fabric, or cut. Jewel tone dresses can be monochrome, patterned, or include an embroidered layer over a lining, giving a sheer look. Choose a body-hugging silhouette for cocktail parties, or achieve a flowy look on the dance floor when the jewel tone cocktail dress floats away from the body.

Some common styles include the tea-length hemline and the bow shoulder. A tea-length hemline, which falls at the calf, is appropriate for all ages and events. This hemline allows the shoe to show, unlike floor length gowns so if you just got a pair of pumps you want to show off, this is the style for you! Wear tea length dresses at any formal occasion except for white tie affairs, which require floor length gowns.

A bow shoulder is sophisticated and eye-catching. Fabric gathers in a bow on one shoulder, usually in an asymmetrical design, leaving the other shoulder bare. Sometimes this style will include draping fabric that hangs gracefully down the back or side, creating an unforgettable silhouette. This red-carpet worthy option is lovely for formal dinners and galas.

Jewel Toned Dress FAQs

Have some questions about jewel tone dresses? We’ve got you covered! Check out answers to some of the most frequently asked questions below.

● How do I care for a jewel toned dress?

Follow the care instructions on the label. You will likely need to take your dress to a trusted dry cleaner, or hand wash and hang dry. Remember, a jewel tone is simply the color, not the fabric – so it’s best to follow care instructions according to your dress’ fabric.

● Are jewel tone dresses appropriate for weddings?

Absolutely! Jewel tone gowns are delightful for both bridesmaids dresses and wedding guest dresses. They are especially popular for winter and autumn weddings. These richly colored dresses have a more formal/evening feel, whereas light and pastel colored dresses have a more daytime/casual feel.

● Which jewel tone is right for my skin color?

Colors in the red, pink, purple, and blue section of the color wheel pop against cool skin undertones. Colors in the orange, yellow, and green color section of the wheel pop against warm skin undertones. Keep in mind, you don’t have to dress according to your skin color or undertone. You can also choose a dress color that compliments your hair color, eye color, or makeup. Or, simply pick your favorite!

● How should I accessorize with a jewel toned dress?

Jewel tone dresses pair well with a rich red lipstick and matching gemstones on earrings, bracelets, necklaces, or rings. As for footwear, consider wearing shoes of the same fabric as the dress. For example, pair satin shoes with a satin dress or velvet with velvet. Feel free to mix and match jewel tones that are the same level of color saturation: combine emerald, ruby, and sapphire within your accessories, especially for autumn and winter looks. Of course, bridesmaids should ask the bride.
