Elegant Cocktail Attire

From black tie to cocktail attire, dress codes are something people don’t talk about enough. Like everything else you wear, the most important part of getting your cocktail attire right is feeling like yourself in what you’re wearing.

Cocktail is less elaborate than an evening dress or black tie, but still more festive than daywear.  The term “cocktail dress” owes its name to Christian Dior, who came up with the idea of an elegant dress that can be worn in the early evening and is suitable for a going out for a cocktail or an apéritif.

Cocktail attire for women is pretty straightforward, and there are plenty of options for every kind of personal style. 

A statement accessory as a clutch is perfect for this occasion. Cocktail parties simply aren’t the time for a huge slouchy tote bag slumped over your shoulder—especially alongside a nice dress. A clutch or a small bag always reads as elegant and refined.

Consider fancy shoes. Whether it be stilettos, kittens or block heels, a little extra lift can be nice when it comes to a more formal event.
