Cocktail chic attire

If it’s a summer party, opt for a colorful dress with bold colors or print. Dresses with puffy sleeves or ruffles are super on trend right now and add a little extra drama to your outfit. Halter, short sleeves, long sleeves, or even spaghetti straps – sleeve length is up to you! Just wear what feels most comfortable. Which color are hot right now in 2022?  Orange, brown and even neon!  Dodo Bar Or Amma velvet mini dress Tip Two:  It's not just about the dress, Jumpsuits are fun too.  You don't have to wear a dress for a cocktail party when there are so many elegant jumpsuits to choose from.  Again, same rules apply- no cotton or anything that looks too casual.  Instead opt for a style that accentuates your body and has elevated details- like a bold color or sequins.

As we know, the right shoe can make your outfit. Similarly, the wrong shoe choice can throw an otherwise perfect cocktail look askew. For such events, a heel is always required – unless your host indicates otherwise. Unlike more formal occasions, your heel of choice does not need to be a stiletto. Block and the now-fashionable midi-heel are also excellent choices. Regardless of your heel-height choice, one rule remains when dressing cocktail – less, is more. If your outfit is your focus piece, make sure to go light with your shoe choice – more tonal shades, less embellishments and simplified styles. Alternatively, if you're wanting to make an impact with your accessories, don't double up on 'drama' with your dress of choice. Pratima Ati, Fashion & Lifestyle Writer Velvet has made it’s way back around and is an absolutely stunning look for a cocktail party. This is another style that really requires little to no accessories. Finish the look off with a pair of strappy heels and a small clutch.
