EVENING & COCKTAIL

Cocktail dresses are typically knee-length to midi, suited for semi-formal events. Evening gowns are full-length and worn for formal events like black-tie galas, balls and formal weddings. Both can be elegant — the venue and dress code dictate which is appropriate. The invitation will usually specify.

Cocktail dress code typically means knee-length to midi dresses in elegant fabrics — lace, satin, crepe or sequin. Avoid full-length gowns (too formal) and short mini-dresses (too casual). Pair with heels, a clutch and statement jewellery. Black, navy and jewel tones work for most cocktail events.
