If you find your fall social calendar is already stacked, you might be in need of a great evening dress to mark the moment. Black-tie dress codes have become more and more popular for marking a special occasion, for everything from traditional functions to grand weddings to even some over-the-top birthday themes. The problem is, gala gowns aren’t exactly the most versatile item you’ll ever buy; between wedding guest dresses that have to follow a certain color palette to buttoned-up formal events that call for something more traditional, there’s a good chance your gala dress will need to tick some highly specific boxes. That, luckily, is where we come in.

Wherever you are heading, we found options to suit your every need—at every price point. Slinky slips, minimalist halter necks, and satin column gowns are always sure-fire choices when you want to look sophisticated. Evening wear darlings Emilia Wickstead, Galvan, and Halston excel with these silhouettes; though for a floor-length option that’ll feel a bit more relaxed, we found an inky blue Rabanne number that drapes beautifully and won’t look stuffy.

If you need something more conservative, La Double J’s short sleeve lime green midi is formal wear that’s fancy without a ton of embellishments or cutouts. Reformation and Mango make beautiful high-neck options (the former of which includes a full pleated skirt) that won’t break the bank; if you’re feeling spendy, Etro’s pretty V-neck style features a paisley print done in wispy silk. (For more structure: Ralph Lauren’s version of an LBD is a tuxedo dress that’s definitely a fit for polished city fêtes.)

And then there’s the option of going for all-out glamour with your gala dress. Tom Ford’s scarlet one-shoulder design features gold hardware at the waist; Bernadette’s color-blocked crepe gown comes complete with a massive bow; McQueen’s petal pink formal dress is accented with a sweeping train. You have choices, is all we’re saying.

Ahead, shop 40+ evening gowns that will ensure you have a great night out, no matter what your grand plans may be.
