What to wear to a cocktail party?
A cocktail party sits between dinner and a gala: you dress for the evening with one refined piece, without going as far as a long gown.
The right moves
- Fabrics that catch the light: satin, silk, velvet, shiny fine knit.
- A midi dress or skirt, or flowing trousers with a dressy top.
- A clutch rather than a big bag.
- Just one strong accessory: earrings, belt or shoes.
To avoid
- Your unchanged office outfit, too plain for the evening.
- Too many shiny accessories at once.
