Cocktail dresses should be sophisticated and seductive because they are intended to be worn out in the evening; while you may feel great in a flowy, airy day dress, you should consider richer jewel tones in addition to the familiar darker colors of navy and black when planning your nighttime cocktail attire.
The main difference among a cocktail dress as well as a regular dress is the use of more luxurious fabrics and decorative elements. As a result, you may be able to narrow down the body type that makes you feel the most at ease. See below for some of the most popular cocktail dresses for the upcoming season.
