The Shopper's Guide To Short Cocktail Dresses
Short cocktail dresses are a party staple for most women these days and despite their length there are lots and lots of occasions when you can wear them.
Cocktail dresses are far from being a dress that's only worn during more formal events. In fact they're popping up everywhere from nights out at the bar, to dinner parties, to a theatre performance!
The role of a cocktail dress is to help you look and feel gorgeous when you're out.There are different kinds of cocktail dresses, so when shopping for them there can be some confusion. Some are more formal than others and we're going to look at some different types and how and when to wear them right here:
Short Skirts Have A Young Feel
Long skirted dresses are usually seen as being more formal and sophisticated.
Of course looking sophisticated is great, but you can sometimes look overdressed especially if you're a young wearer.
The great thing about short cocktail dresses is that they are flirty, yet if they're in a forgiving style, such as A-Line or Empire, they'll flatter any girl's shape.
Team them up with some fun colors, such as classic black or red, or some brighter colors like neon pink and you'll be ready to party.
On the subject of parties, you know that a short skirt is always better as you'll feel a lot more comfortable and mobile as you won't have a long skirt bunching up and getting tangled. This is especially important if you're going to mingling or, even better, dancing!
LBDs Are A Classic
Coming back to the issue of a dress that's flattering, there's probably no better example than an LBD. Come on, I think every girl's got one!
Black is a slimming color, and there's just something so right about an LBD accessorized with some cool bling.
A simple black cocktail dress of any style can be accessorized with some gold or silver jewellery for a sizzling look!
Don't Forget The Legs
Short cocktail dresses are a perfect way to show off your legs. It's a common mistake that girls think they shouldn't be showing off their legs because they're either too skinny or too chubby. In fact with the right shoes and length of skirt you'll have guys drooling over your calves in no time!Luckily cocktail dresses are available in all sizes and even plus sizes will find comfortable and attractive.
Newsflash - curvy girls have great legs, so get them out!
Showing off your legs also has another benefit and that's the ability to wear a wide range of gorgeous shoes or boots!
Keep It Appropriate
When it comes to short cocktail dresses staying appropriate is important. By appropriate I don't just mean wearing the right dress to the right event, but also wearing a dress that wouldn't be considered 'cheap.'
If a dress is too short, or too revealing then you run the risk of looking cheap, and no girl wants that. If you've got any areas which you're not confident about then instead go for a more flattering dress, as if you're spilling out of your dress that is NOT appropriate.
