One wardrobe must have is a good cocktail dress, as this versatile item of clothing can be used for a number of situations such as dressing up with accessories for a posh evening do or pairing with a smart jacket for a formal business lunch or dinner. To ensure your cocktail dresses is as versatile as possible you should make sure you choose a classic, long lasting design that will live out a few seasons in your wardrobe.
Cost
If you have a generous budget then it can be a good idea to buy a couple of different designs of cocktail dress, and you might think about having the essential ‘little black dress’ for all occasions and also something a bit more special such as a racy red little number that you can wear out for special occasions when you want to look and feel your very best. If you can only afford one dress then think about choosing a classic design in a durable fabric so that it lasts well, and try and avoid silk and other delicate materials as these are expensive, difficult to wash and can stain easily.
Style
A good cocktail dress should be able to last you a few seasons so try and avoid picking anything too ‘in fashion’ as this will look very dated once the new season dresses have come in to the shops. Choose a flattering and unfussy design such as the classic a-line, empire waistline or straight tube dress, and you can always jazz this up yourself with accessories to make it more seasonal.
