Women's Cocktail Attire

Elevate cocktail hour in these chic women's cocktail dresses, perfect for after-work happy hour or a dressed-up affair. Find the perfect dress or jumpsuit for any event, sure to stand out. Our cocktail party collection features mini, midi, and maxi dresses, beautiful silk caftans, elegant jumpsuits, and elevated event sets with unique details, colorful prints, and flattering fits for every woman's style.

What is a cocktail dress?
A cocktail dress is a semi-formal dress typically worn for evening events or parties. It usually falls at or above the knee and is designed to be stylish, elegant, and versatile, making it suitable for a range of occasions. Cocktail dresses can come in various fabrics, such as silk, satin, or velvet, and often feature embellishments like lace, sequins, or beadwork.

Where do you wear a cocktail dress?
Cocktail dresses are appropriate for semi-formal events, such as weddings, evening parties, corporate events, cocktail parties, holiday celebrations, and dinner dates. They strike a balance between formal and casual, making them suitable for occasions where you want to look polished but not overly formal.

What is a “cocktail dress code”?
A “cocktail dress code” is a guideline for attire that requires semi-formal clothing. For women, this means wearing a cocktail dress or a sophisticated ensemble like a jumpsuit or tailored separates. For men, it typically means a suit or blazer with dress pants, but without the need for a tie. The key is to dress elegantly without being overly formal, such as in black-tie or formal attire.

How long can a cocktail dress be?
The length of a cocktail dress usually falls between just above the knee and mid-calf (referred to as tea-length), but can also feature modern takes, such as maxi or midi options, that stay true to the refined yet playful spirit of this timeless dress code. While mini-length dresses can work for certain settings, classic cocktail attire generally avoids floor-length gowns, which are reserved for formal or black-tie events.
