This expression becomes tangible when you choose a formal dress. It's not just about "what looks good," but what makes us feel authentic, confident, and beautiful at that precise moment in our lives.

On this journey, we guide you to discover which dress best flatters each decade, with ideas
inspirational and practical advice to truly shine.

🌸At 20: tulle dreams and the desire to feel like a princess. Your twenties are a time of overwhelming emotions, important milestones, and big dreams. It's an age when you can play with fashion lightly, choosing dramatic, billowy, and flowing dresses that truly make you stand out. No fear of overdoing it: the goal is to make your heart skip a beat, just like on your eighteenth birthday or at a long-awaited event.

👗 Canaris Tip: Choose a tulle princess dress with ruffles, a fitted bodice, and a full skirt, like the ones you see in the photo. Whether it's fuchsia, lilac, or a bright pastel shade, this style is
The very emblem of turning eighteen and those first big parties. Perfect for feeling unique, elegant, and radiant.

Because at twenty, you don't dress to go unnoticed, but to be remembered.

🌺At 30: Decisive charm with balance

At 30 you are in the midst of discovering your own style, but with an extra edge: you learn to balance
sensuality and elegance, grit and refinement. Ceremony dresses become an expression of a
A more self-aware, yet never boring, femininity. Slits, deep necklines, and fitted silhouettes are welcome... but with a renewed focus on harmonious curves.

👗 Canaris Tip: A style like the one in the photo—an embroidered, slightly sheer bustier and a fitted skirt with a deep slit—is ideal for those who like to seduce without exaggerating. Black is intense, sophisticated, and timeless. And that sparkly detail in the embroidery on the bodice? A detail that makes all the difference. At 30
For years, you dare, but with style and moderation. And you choose the dress that tells your story, not the one others expect.

🌹At 40: Style and Confidence

Forty is the age of full awareness. You abandon fleeting fashions and choose what truly reflects your essence. It's the time when femininity expresses itself forcefully, yet with restraint. The ideal formal dresses for this age combine sophisticated lines and thoughtful details, without ever falling into excess.

Balance is key: a deep V-neckline, a bodice crafted with delicate appliques, and a structured yet flowing skirt can flatter the figure and accentuate posture, without sacrificing comfort. And if a slit is present, it's designed to discreetly accentuate, never to show off.

👗 Canaris Choice: A dress like the one you see in the photo—in deep green satin, with an embroidered bodice and center slit—is perfect for those who love to stand out with class. It expresses a mature, assertive, yet always elegant sensuality. Because at 40, you no longer need to ask permission to shine.

🌷At 50: clean lines, discreet beauty
At 50, you discover the pleasure of simple, clean, elegant shapes without excess. No frills, no flashy appliques: just fine fabrics, precise cuts, and a comfortable yet feminine fit. A formal dress at this age is a statement of class: it doesn't need to scream to get noticed.

👗 Canaris Choice: A midi dress in cady or georgette with a crossover neckline and light sleeves, or a long skirt with a solid-color top. The look can be completed with a flowing coat or a jeweled detail that discreetly highlights the look.

🌼At 60+: Timeless Femininity
The woman over 60 is a hymn to freedom. No need to please, just the desire to feel good in her own skin. Formal dresses become iconic, timeless pieces, placing poise, personality, and gentle gestures at the center.

👗 Straight from Canaris: A long dress with light sleeves and a soft neckline, paired with an organza stole or lace shrug. The colors are often pastel or dusty, but even midnight blue or burgundy can add a touch of strong elegance.
