Winter Cocktail Party Style
Figuring out what to wear to a winter cocktail party can be hard! You don’t want to be overdressed, but you also don’t want to be caught dead in a skimpy mini-dress you could have worn as a teenager. The challenge with knowing what to wear to a cocktail party is all thanks to the undefined dress code. These are the unspoken rules to follow to be just formal enough, while still being stylish, of course.
However, knowing how to dress for a winter cocktail party doesn’t have to be some painstaking, stress-inducing task. After all, parties are supposed to be fun and a time to celebrate all you’ve accomplished this year. In this article, you’ll learn just how to dress in glamorous cocktail party attire without looking too formal, or not formal enough.
Winter Cocktail Attire Ideas
Knowing what to wear to a cocktail party, from holiday-themed parties to end-of-the-year celebrations, doesn’t have to be stressful. Follow these winter cocktail attire ideas to look stylish and sophisticated at your next cocktail party.
Glitz and Glamor
A little sparkle never hurt anybody. One way to look stylish, yet classy is to wear sequins or have some sparkle detail to your look. Opt for either a full sequin dress or simply have a portion of your look have a touch of sparkle. I purchased this dress with sparkle thread for a Christmas party this year. If you go for a sparkly top, consider pairing it with a skirt or tucked into a high-waisted pant for a sleek look.
Pick the Right Color
Inevitably, there are some key winter colors that pair well with the season. Colors like light purple, white, gold, red, and green are all classic winter color ideas you should consider when picking your next great winter cocktail dress.
Stylish & Elegant Details
Stay on trend with the latest fashion styles while maintaining an element of elegance at your next winter cocktail party. Corset detailing, feathers, and bows are all gorgeous details to add, without going too over the top.
Different Styles Of Winter Cocktail Dresses
There are so many glamorous winter cocktail dress styles you can wear to your next cocktail party. Here are a few dress styles to consider.
● One-Sleeve Dress: A one-sleeve dress or top is an easy way to make for a unique look at your next winter cocktail party.
● Long-Sleeve Dress: A long-sleeve dress is fitting for the chilly weather of the season. Long sleeves won’t just keep you warm and comfortable, but sleeves add a sleek touch of style to elevate any dress.
● Strapless Dress: However, if you hate sleeves, opt for a strapless dress that is a longer, form-fitting dress that accentuates your curves while still looking classy.
● Midi Dress: If you are unsure of how long your winter cocktail dress should be, aim for a little above or below your knee. A midi dress provides the perfect balance of not showing up in a dress that’s too short or a dress that’s too long and over-the-top for the event.
