Cocktail Dress

Cocktail Dress

Having at least one cocktail dress in your wardrobe, however, may give you a dressing option that will be just right when the occasion is a little extra special. No longer limited to a specific hem-line length or basic black, a black and white or brightly colored dress may give you a short formal gown that you can add accessories as you wish, and give you a dressy outfit that you can wear regardless of the season.

Cocktail Dress

While trends often change with each season or year a cocktail dress, by its usually dressy nature, often remains looking stylish even if not part of a current collection. A wonderful fit, flattering color and elegant fabric will likely make your cocktail dress appropriate for parties, weddings, or other special social gatherings.

If your wardrobe is stocked with statement jewelry, print scarves, or colorful shoes and handbags, you may need no more than a simple black cocktail dress to serve as a backdrop for your beautiful accessories. Taking the time beforehand to review your wardrobe and investing in one or more cocktail dresses may keep you ready to dress more formally whenever you need to.
