Between the long and the short dress is the cocktail dress. Elegant as well as chic, this dress has the perfect measure to attend any event. In this article we give you the keys to choose the one that best suits you.
Choose the perfect cocktail dress
- First of all, you must know your body perfectly, your measurements and know what style suits you best: If you have a lot of chest, you will have to opt for a dress with a not very pronounced neckline; If you are very tall, forget about wearing a very short dress because it will look even shorter. On the contrary, if you have very wide hips, rule out ruffles or dresses that add volume at the waist. Although, regardless of the measurements of each one, remember that the most important thing is that you feel comfortable in the dress you choose.
- Remember that if you go to an event or a celebration, you must be attentive to the protocol of the party and based on this, choose the style of the cocktail dress that you are going to wear. Always take into account your style, your personal tastes and, of course, what suits you best based on your skin color, hair and measurements. The ideal is to find the perfect balance between the two.
- The fabric: It is a matter of taste but, regarding this aspect, it is important to know what time of year we are and what the weather is like. There are fabrics that look very pretty but are also very cold, or vice versa: for example, opt for chiffon dresses for hotter times and velvet or plush for autumn or winter.
- As for color, the easiest option is to opt for your favorite color, but you should also be guided by the colors that are worn in the season and in which you feel best. Although the best option is to choose one of the timeless solid colors such as black, white or red; that never go out of style and you can wear it at any time of the year without it being outdated.
