Next, we will tell you the basic and key rules of this dress code, and in addition, we will share with you a selection of day, day and evening dresses with which you will become the perfect guest.
What is a cocktail party?
This term is used to describe festive but not overly formal events. We could talk about a wedding, an event where cocktails and canapes will be served, a baptism, or any occasion where you need to dress elegantly but not formally.
What is the length of the cocktail dress and how long should it be?
The cocktail dress has a midi length., a few inches above or below the knees. In any case, it should be a sophisticated dress with personality.
How to dress for an event with a cocktail dress code: basic rules
Depending on the type of event (and timing), you should keep these tips in mind when choosing your guest look.
- How to dress for a cocktail day. The most appropriate would be to wear a short dress or midi dress. Neither sequins nor the most festive decorations intended for night weddings will do. If a cocktail is for tomorrow, pastel colors and light colors will look great.
- How to dress for an afternoon cocktail. Both bright and cheerful colors are often used (especially in summer weddings). Unlike tomorrow’s celebration, we can already choose dresses made of satin fabric, models with ruffles, puffed sleeves…
- How to dress for an evening cocktail. The famous “little black dress” is the quintessential cocktail dress.
What shoes and accessories to wear to a cocktail party?
As for accessories, hats and hats are ideal for the day, and only hats are the best option for the night. As for accessories, during the day and in the evening you can bet on more spectacular earrings and pendants, while during the day it is better to choose simpler and more discreet jewelry.
Take a look at the gallery, because we have prepared a selection with 15 cocktail dresses and we ordered them according to the type of event which you are going to go for: first there are day dresses, then day dresses and finally evening dresses.
