- Buy cocktail dresses that cut at the knees or higher, long length cocktail dresses should be saved for more formal occasions. You could get away with a longer dress if it is summer and in a chiffon fabric, or has a bold print on it. - This is the perfect time to wear an LBD (Little Black Dress), because it is so versatile and sexy. However if you have freckles, red hair or pale skin, change your LBD to a little brown dress as this will look much better. - Some simple solutions are: For winter, pick a black sweater dress and team it with metallic jewellery and footwear with black opaque tights or go for a deep purple knee length dress with a grey shrug and silver jewellery. For summer, team a pastel strappy mini dress with a slinky darker shrug and costume jewellery or go for a silk moss green knee length dress with a long beaded necklace and brown wedges. - Meeting people is the thing that will be most prominent at a cocktail party, so make sure you feel comfortable, sexy and keep smiling. One great and easy way to do this is to choose the perfect underwear that will give great support. - If the party is on the weekend, then choose dressier fabrics like silk or satin and add a little bit more sparkle. The same goes for an evening outing to a club, hotel or hall. - Think about what kind of occasion it is, and ask other people what they will be wearing, in order to make sure that you buy the right kind of gown. If for example you are going to a do in your local hotel it will be entirely different from that of a party in a neighbours house. - Choose fabric according to season: heavy fabrics for winter (things like wool, denim and tweed), light fabrics for summer (for example cotton, silk and linen).
