Every woman should have at least one cocktail dress that can be worn to any party. Of course, it’s better to have more than one frock, that’s why I decided to create this post and share with you different designs that are versatile and make any lady look special and stand out from the crowd, no matter if it’s a wedding or a fancy party.
I personally like cocktail dresses with open shoulders revealing your back, hands or neckline area. Just make sure, you don’t show too much skin, keep away from transparent skirts, provocative mini skirts or sexy cut-outs. I do recommend to keep the right balance and let elegance control your body. Avoid vulgar or perverse designs, otherwise you gonna look cheap and weird. The color palette can be chosen by your personal preferences, starting from LBDs, blue to red and neon pink colored dresses. Anyway, I do recommend to take a close-up look through these ideas below to choose your favorite cocktail dress for the upcoming event!
A sleeveless beige dress with fuchsia details looks awesome with an evening clutch bag and pointed-toe heeled pumps.
A strapless blush wrap frock with black details is ideal for corporative events. Complete it with pointed-toe cream white heeled pumps and quilted shoulder clutch bag.
The multi striped slim sleeveless dress will be a perfect choice for underlining your beautiful body. Add stiletto black sandals and structured black leather clutch bag.
Turquoise short pencil dress with caged neckline is great for Summer evening parties. Add mannish dark turquoise coat, black heeled sandals and black leather folded clutch.

How To Choose Shoes For A Cocktail Dress
Sometimes it’s quite hard to find an appropriate footwear to wear with your favorite cocktail dress. I think you should always stick to the following rule: wear shoes that match your dress color, or at least one of its colors. Here we see a nice example, where a two-color dress (black-gray-white) matches gray color pumps.
Navy wrap strapless dress with orange details can be a nice choice to be worn with high-heeled sandals. Add orange sunglasses, tasseled dark blue earrings, and vintage shoulder bag.
This one-shoulder maroon purple frock can be used for special events, like glamor party or a wedding. Wear it with neutral beige color pumps.
A green mini sleeveless dress can be updated with black-white gingham print coat. I am in love with glossy black leather Mary Janes pumps.
Sleeveless white pencil dress in red roses print is pretty ladylike and easy to style. Add ankle-strap black heeled sandals to complete this look.
Matchy-match!
Cream-white mini frock with criss-cross straps looks simple and versatile. Add pointed-toe glossy maroon caged pumps embellished with studs.
