The Perfect Cocktail Look


Stuck on what to wear to your next cocktail event? Let’s face it, it’s these kinds of events where a girl has to dress to impress, but not overdress. You walk the thin line between casual and dressy when it comes to cocktail attire, and the key is finding that perfect balance between chic, comfortable, casual and just drop dead gorgeous.

Here are some tips on putting together the perfect cocktail look:
1. Sheer and lace can never lead your astray. These two fabrics were born to shine at cocktail events whether in skirt, blouse or pant form they will make your outfit a party hit.

2. Sparkle and shine all the time. Anything with a little bit of a twinkle is sitting in your closet right now screaming “please wear me to a cocktail party!” Just make sure you don’t overdo it with the sequins (we’re not channeling Las Vegas here) and you will have the whole party wondering why disco balls ever went out of style.

3. ALWAYS wear a heel. I don’t care if it’s a wedge, a peep toe, an espadrille, a pump or a strappy sandal no cocktail look is complete without those lifts on your feet.
