A STYLE GUIDE FOR EVENING WEAR
-
Mastering cocktail attire dos and don’ts: Cocktail attire calls for an outfit that’s less formal than black-tie but more sophisticated than business casual. Opt for a polished look with a chic dress, tailored trousers, or a sleek jumpsuit. However, don't go too casual; avoid denim and overly relaxed clothing.
-
Footwear choices for cocktail parties: When choosing shoes, aim for a balance between comfort and elegance. Classic stilettos, stylish block heels, or elegant flats are all excellent choices for a cocktail party. Remember, your shoes can be a focal point, so consider a statement pair if your dress is simple.
-
Colour considerations for evening dresses: While there are no strict colour guidelines for evening dresses, darker hues are generally considered more formal. However, don't shy away from vibrant colours if that's your style. Just remember to keep the event and the season in mind.
-
Winter cocktail attire options: In the colder months, cocktail attire can be a bit more challenging. However, options like a long-sleeved cocktail dress, a stylish jumpsuit, or a tailored trouser suit paired with a festive top are suitable. In addition, layering with a faux fur jacket or a chic blazer can also add warmth and style.
