Womans Cocktail Dresses
Understanding the Importance of Owning a Cocktail Dress by Robedesoiree
Owning a cocktail dress is an absolute necessity in a wardrobe full of women’s clothes for any fashionable woman. However, elegant Cocktail Dresses are not often cheap and depending on your lifestyle, you may not have a use for more than one. For that reason, most women should invest in one versatile cocktail dress that can be used on several different occasions.
When it comes to the most popular cocktail dresses, the little black dress, or LBD as it is known in the fashion world, reigns supreme. Little black dresses have been around for many decades, but it was Audrey Hepburns dresses in the 1954 movie Sabrina and particularly in her 1961 movie Breakfast At Tiffanys that helped secure the role of the LBD as a staple of every womans clothes wardrobe.
The LBD is the perfect backdrop for women to display various styles of jewellery and accessories. Using the right sizes, styles and colours of jewellery can turn a black cocktail dress from a demure office party outfit to a sassy number fit for any dance club. You can also add a splash of colour with a wrap, scarf or coat, all of which make the dress suitable in both hot and cold weather.
Additionally, the dark colour helps hide any stains and depending on the fabric, can help hide wrinkles and creases, too. This makes the little black dress ideal for long-term wear and perfect to pack for trips. Plus, the dark hue is slimming, which can be a real confidence booster and not only does the little black dress work for many different styles, but also for many different shapes, meaning that no matter what your size, taste or personality is, there is an LBD that is perfect for you.
If you would rather have a cocktail dress with colour, keep to basic colours that will match with anything. Brown, cream, white, purple, blue, green and red all work really well, whilst orange, yellow and pastels can be difficult to pair with accessories and metallic tones depend entirely on the style and exact hue.
Alternatively, patterns can work with the right dress and colours, but keep in mind that the busier and more detailed the pattern, the less versatile the dress is. Therefore, if you would really like a patterned dress, try to use ones created from basic or neutral colours, as if you use a vibrant colour or pattern, it is likely that you will not have the opportunity to wear the dress more than a handful of times.
As for necklines, some of the more popular ones include sweetheart, strapless, scooped, V-neck, turtleneck and halter. For a fun, stylized look, try ruffles, plunging, one-armed, wraparound or heavily trimmed, all of which can transform a simple dress into something a little more outgoing. Common, versatile sleeve options are short, long or fitted and should you go with puffed, ruffled, draping or one-armed sleeves, you will be limiting massively yourself in the versatility department.
It is important to remember that should you be investing in a versatile cocktail dress, it is imperative that you have a matching pair of versatile shoes, too. As great looking as a cocktail dress may be, the wrong shoes can completely change the outfit in a negative way and make your versatile dress not wearable.
