The idea of the cocktail dress first originated in a 1927 issue of Vogue, that defined this style as a "short dress that is suitable for formal occasions", as the fashion evolved over time, the definition of cocktail dress is now a little more forgiving. The types of dress you can use may vary in shape and length, but jumpsuits and blazers are also qualified for the occasion. For now, let’s say that cocktail dresses are halfway between daytime looks and evening looks. The classic cocktail dresses
the classic cocktail dresses. Usually they are knee-length dresses, which emphasize femininity, without being vulgar. The goal is to look classy and elegant, but not excessive. They are the classic formal dresses, which you will probably wear a couple of times a year, but they are worth it! We have chosen for you two dresses that represent the classic style: Nina wears an ivory cocktail dress covered with sequins and with long sleeves, loose hair and light makeup, a simple but very elegant look. Ilse opted for a black lace cocktail dress, fitted at the right point, an evergreen. Spring-summer vibes: floral cocktail dresses
what better dress for this season than the colorful and joyful floral one? This pattern is suitable for any type of social gathering, without ever going out of fashion. Obviously, you would prefer to use a floral dress for events that start in the daylight, otherwise no one will see the colors of your beautiful dress in the dark! We have chosen two floral dresses for you, one mini and one maxi, very different but trendy. Lauren opted for a one-shoulder mini floral dress, very tight but not excessively low-cut, and she decided to use a clutch and silver heels, I couldn't have done better.
A feminine touch: maxi cocktail dresses
In particular, those that are narrower at the waist and have a wider underside, simply because they manage to be both very elegant and comfortable. Look at the classiness of maxi dress. She chose a blue one, which is one of the best colors for the summer as it highlights the tan. Her dress is low-cut but not exaggerated thanks to its simplicity. She added a belt to make everything more glamorous. Another thing I love about maxi dresses is that they are so elegant that you don't have to wear heels, sometimes a nice sandal is enough and you are good for the evening. Modern cocktail dresses: the jumpsuits
The beauty of jumpsuits is that they make sexy looks without exposing too much. The cut and the fabric count a lot too, and also how you decide to match the accessories. For example, a jumpsuit which you won’t be able to live without this summer is the satin one: it’s light and comfortable and also very elegant, like the one Danique wears, made with a beautiful pastel pink color and pattern. When it comes to jumpsuits, the first one you need to have in your closets is the black one: perfect for every season and every occasion, it will give you extra body confidence and a feminine empowerment feeling.
