How to dress for a cocktail
- A cocktail is a place to go elegant and sophisticated, it is where we must show our most chic and stylish side. Forget in this case sequins, glitter and show skin. A discreet dress with a good quality fabric and good accessories is ideal for this occasion.
- The length of a cocktail dress must be at the knee or three fingers below it, on this occasion it is not appropriate to wear a long evening dress or an excessively short dress. If you think of a dress with a neckline, you should know that it is better to leave those dresses that show too much for another occasion, this time a less glamorous or flashy look is imposed.
- Black is a color that many women feel comfortable with as it flatters the figure and helps to appear slimmer, however, it tends to be too predictable. For a cocktail party, take a little risk and leave the classic black or gray, try to choose other types of colors, but always without fanfare.
- If the cocktail is in the morning, the dresses with patterns and flowing are ideal, for the afternoon, a single tone is more appropriate. A jacket, bolero or bolero is ideal if the season is cold.
- For shoes, in these cases it is more appropriate to use a medium-heeled pump, and leave those of more than 8 centimeters at home, since you will be on your feet most of the time. Make-up must be discreet and the hairstyle natural, avoiding baroque outfits.
