A Guide To Winter Cocktail Dresses
• The perfect winter cocktail dresses are shirt dresses, dresses with long sleeves, sequin & metallic dresses, LBDs & midi dresses.
• Long sleeve dresses are stylish and will keep you warm in winter.
• For extra warmth add a jacket or bolero to your look.
With the days getting chillier and your calendar getting busier its time to start thinking about what to wear to those cocktail parties, weddings and events that are just around the corner. The thought of dressing for a party in winter can be daunting but it is not something to fear as there is always a perfect cocktail dress for any occasion or season, and in winter the addition of a jacket and some jewellery can be a chic way to go.
A long sleeved cocktail dress or a little black dress can be paired with a little sparkle for a big wow. A jacket, a wrap or a bolero can take your look to a whole new level (and keep you a warmer at the same time). We have put together an edit below of winter prints, long sleeves, sequins and bold colour that will keep you warm this winter season. Look your best at all the big events in chic colours and gorgeous fabrics.
Shirt Dresses
A shirt dress is the perfect option for a cocktail dress code. It is chic and sophisticated, and can easily be dressed up or down depending on the event. Wear this style with crystal earrings and a timeless clutch for the ultimate cocktail party look.
Long Sleeve Dresses
A long sleeved number is the perfect choice for when the days get cooler, especially when you have a winery wedding or a fancy birthday soirée to attend. Details and embellishments can take a long sleeved look to a whole new level, leaving you looking and feeling fabulous (and warm!). Whether it be a printed or sparkling sequin detail, it is the perfect element for an elegant cocktail party.
LBDs & Midi Dresses
You can never go past a LBD or midi dress when it comes to styling your look for a cocktail event. Look oh so Audrey Hepburn in a little black dress or a navy midi number – classic and chic. A little black dress can be styled up or down, whether you are off to a casual lunch or you are being invited to a sophisticated affair. For a little arm coverage, it is always a good idea to pair a mini or midi with a wrap or a bolero.
Jumpsuits
Never say no to a jumpsuit – especially in winter. An all in one will keep you feeling comfortable yet chic. A little bit of detail goes a long way and jumpsuits can be accessorised so you can look dressed up. Jumpsuits are becoming more and more popular silhouettes for events. They are a sophisticated trend for wedding guests and mothers of the bride.
Metallic & Sequin Dresses
A party dress never looked so good! Sequin and metallic dresses are available in mini, midi and full length. Black, silver and gold are all fabulous for a classic sequin look but you can also turn up the heat in a jewel coloured sparkly number in deeps reds, vibrant greens and bold blues. A sequin long sleeved dress is also perfect for this winter season.
