What does a Cocktail Dress look like?

The dress code for weddings, evening events, and parties is often cocktail dress, which is sometimes referred to as semi-formal clothes. There are a few things to keep in mind when choosing what to wear to a cocktail party.

To start, length is important. So what length is appropriate for cocktail dresses? They should fall between the ankle and the knee because they are often midi-length. Floor-length dresses typically are only appropriate for formal or black-tie events. Although it has long been believed that short dresses are better reserved for more laid-back occasions, in some contexts, they may also be worn as cocktail dresses.

Next, explore necklines. Avoid wearing anything with a plunging neckline or too many cut-outs at cocktail events. It might be useful to consider if you would feel comfortable wearing something in front of your boss or your grandparents.


Dress Hire In Melbourne

  • Different Cocktail Dress Hire

    1. The Midi Dress

    The midi dress is the cocktail party style that never fails. Depending on the event you're attending, you'll have varying degrees of design flexibility.

    If the wedding or birthday celebration you're attending has a cocktail dress code, you can choose a midi dress with on-trend features like discreet cut-outs and side-split hems.

    Consider wearing a more structured silhouette if the cocktail party is business-related. Consider a design with a statement element, such as an enormous bow or a flowing skirt, for exceptional cocktail events like parties or fundraisers.

  • 2. The Short Dress

    It's recommended to follow the "below the knee but above the ankle" guideline if you're going to a work event, business function, or evening wedding. A short dress might, however, be the perfect choice if you're going to a daytime wedding or birthday celebration.

    We advise considering designs that fall somewhere between mid-thigh and slightly above the knee. The perfect time to wear outfits with an upper thigh cutout is on a girl's night out. Avoid form-fitting styles if you choose a short dress. Choose flowy or ruffled hems as an alternative for a more cocktail-friendly appearance. We adore high necklines and exaggerated puff sleeves for an on-trend finish.

  • 3. The Jumpsuit

    Slip into a jumpsuit for a modern style. Most jumpsuit designs are suitable for a cocktail occasion since they often provide complete coverage. Jumpsuits are the only clothing item where comfort comes second to style, so you'll have no trouble dancing the night away.

    A patterned boilersuit is more appropriate for business or late-afternoon activities, whilst a sleek sequinned type is perfect for birthday parties, weddings, and social gatherings with friends.

  • Why Hire from Closet Space?

    It's important to feel good in your clothing whether you're going to a wedding or a work event. What's challenging about cocktail dresses? They can be expensive and, let's be honest, are often worn only once before being pushed to the back of the closet. Why not hire an outfit to maximise your wardrobe space while saving money? You are also shopping more sustainably if you opt to hire rather than purchase. The benefits are therefore tripled.

    It's time to start shopping now that you know what you want. Discover our comprehensive selection of gowns and formalwear on our website, or have a look at our lovely cocktail items that are available for hire.
