Tips for styling cocktail dresses
Select the appropriate undergarments: To slim your figure, wear shapewear and a supportive bra. Cocktail dresses in backless, halter, or strapless styles look great with strapless or stick-on bras.
- Accessorize strategically – Statement earrings, a glitzy cuff or clutch, and strappy heels are perfect for dressing up cocktail dresses. Keep accessories minimal with ornate dresses. Let simpler dresses shine by adding flashy jewellery.
- Play with your hair – Fancy yet unfussy hairstyles suit cocktail attire best. Soft curls, a low twist or chignon, or sleek high ponytails complement without overpowering. Add sparkling hair pins and headbands for extra style.
- Consider outerwear – Bring along a pashmina wrap, cropped jacket, or bolero to pair over bare shoulders or arms when out on the town or commuting. Choose cover-up layers that tie your whole look together.
- Choose colours and patterns carefully – Solid colour cocktail dresses in jewel tones, metallics, or neutrals offer versatility. Or make a vibrant splash with vibrant prints and embellished details on your dress instead.
- Mind hemlines and fit – Aim for cocktail dresses hitting around the knee or slightly above or below. Hemlines grazing mid-thigh or higher go more nightclub. And overlong midi hems drag rather than flatter. Tailored silhouettes should highlight curves, not constrain them.
- Tend to shoe comfort – Prioritize Ability to stand and dance the night away in heels over sky-high stilettos unlikely to stay on long. Bring back-up flats or slip-on sandals if worn only for short durations.
