A cocktail party sounds like fun and frolic, with lots of exotic drinks and appetizers going around. But in its essence, it has a bit more momentous vibe to it. It is not easy to pick an outfit for a cocktail party, and even more so when there is a theme or dress code to stick by. For men, suits and tux take them everywhere from barbecue invitations to gala cocktail parties. But for women, there is a sea of options to choose from.
Here we have tried to decode the cocktail party attire for you, and mentioned some of our favourites to help you choose from.
1. Scoop Neck Floral Cocktail Dress
If the invitation sounds formal and the venue is in some high-end restaurant, you can close your eyes and put your faith on this dress. Black is always a colour you can trust on when it comes to cocktail dresses, and the lace overlay of the dress only makes it even more suitable for the occasion. The scoop neck of the dress is extended by floral detailing on net to the neck and long sleeves, adding a dramatic edge to the dress.
Our tip: Keep the makeup classy, going with the event and for footwear you can slip on the good old stilettos. Cocktail parties are the kind of events where you can wear them without a doubt. A cross-body bag on one shoulder or a box clutch is the perfect accessory to this dress.
2. Dark Green Flower Bodycon Dress
For a dazzling evening cocktail party, match your outfit with the extravagance of the event and go with this sparkling green bodycon dresses perfect for the occasion. The sleeves come till your elbow, and the neck is a high bateau, accentuating the silhouette of your torso glamorously. The black belt around the waist is a lovely addition that breaks the monotony of the green and adds more shape to the frame.
Our tip: Wear it with black peep toes or high heel sandals to match with the black belt. The dress has a unique girly yet sporty look, and you can use that for you advantage by accessorising with a cool wristwatch. Small hoops or danglers are enough as earrings with this gorgeous dress.
3. Dream Drape Golden Lace Dress
Sheer elegance oozes out of this alluring bodycon, with beige undertones and a sheer golden overlay. Perfect for a cocktail party with work people or clientele, this dress will surely turn heads amidst bright reds and blacks. The high bateau neckline, the long glass sleeves, the black ribbon waistband, the lace detailing – the dress ticks all the right boxes.
Our tip: Since the dress has a subtle shade, you can jazz up the makeup with bright pink puckers, big dramatic eyes and an elaborate hairdo. A semi-messy bun would go great with this dress. Do remember your cocktail ring collections, and slip on one or two.
4. Black Chandelier Lacy Peplum Top
Black is always a colour you can bank on when it comes to occasions like cocktail parties. Moreover, peplum two pieces are really in-style. There is no way anything can go wrong with this gorgeous lacy peplum top and floral netted skirt. The dazzling metallic belt on the waist accentuates your frame, and adds a jazz to your entire look.
Our tip: Metallic necklace would go really well with this peplum top as the neckline is high and offers a stark black background for the ornament to shine. Complete the look with a box clutch and blow-dried hair.
5. Fishnet Blue Bodycon Dress
This fabulous dress justifies the saying, ‘looking like a million bucks’. With fishnet detailing in the shoulders and sleeves, and fish scale patterns all the way down to the hem, the aquatic theme is very prominent in this dress. Keep this for the most special cocktail party invitations, because a dress like this is not to be wasted on something less than grand.
Our tip: Keep the hair out of the way to keep your dress in full view. A messy bun is a good option. Big hoops go well with the net shoulders of the dress. Other accessories can be minimal given the vibrancy of the dress. A big cocktail ring will compliment the dress well, but remember to keep the arm bare.
There is never any one perfect dress for cocktail parties, and fashion should always match with what you are feeling that day. But when in confusion, you can trust on these beautiful dresses.
