Cocktail dresses

Make it a night to remember in one of Mytheresa's head-turning cocktail dresses for women. We've selected an impressive array of party formats, in a variation of fits and styles, to meet the obligations of all occasions. For a charity event dazzle in a tea-length Valentino dress, but for a masquerade ball favor a mesmerizing silk number.  

Get the dress code right

Upon acquiring, an embossed envelope that holds an invitation with the writing 'cocktail attire' on, one may begin to ponder what to wear. For example, a wedding will need an entirely different outfit than a corporate event. Moreover, a sit-down meal at a luxury hotel will require more of a dressier look, compared to a party at a certain someone's home. That is why we have formatted a list of formalities and styling options for you to select from.

A black-tie soiree is the absolute personification of a formal get-together. Therefore, cocktail dresses should only be worn if they are sleek and sophisticated. We advocate a designer dress that is either floor-length or falls just below the knee, mixed with fine jewelry to elevate the overall ensemble. Alternately, select your most exquisite little black dress, from the likes of Zimmermann dresses and coordinate with a set of sparkling Jimmy Choo heels and a velvet clutch. 

When attending a business event, opt for a universal style in a red Dolce & Gabbana dress, configured with a set of Miu Miu platform heels and elegant gold earrings. Don't forget to also select a neutral duster coat, as well as a heavenly gold box bag.

If however, it's a theatre, opera, or ballet performance on the agenda, go with a little more sparkle. Have head's turning with spite in a glamorous sequin selection and a set of evening shoes. We suggest admiring the likes of Christian Louboutin or Saint Laurent, who present a quintessential array of gold and silver going out formats.

The most perplexing style question is what attire to wear to a wedding, and the answer is quite simply a cocktail party dress. Unite together, a lace midi or perhaps a floral Erdem option and accessories with chunky jewelry for a sharp appearance.
