Cocktail Dresses
Finding the ultimate cocktail dress is about celebrating your personal style. Our collection ensures you feel confident, whether youโre at a rooftop soiree or a wedding. At Myer, we believe your outfit should make you feel sophisticated and elegant, so you can shine at every event.
What defines a cocktail dress compared to other formal styles?
A cocktail dress bridges the gap between daywear and evening gowns. Unlike floor-length gowns, cocktail styles usually feature shorter hemlines. This design allows for movement and a playful aesthetic, making it the standard choice for semi-formal events.
How should I choose a cocktail dress for a daytime wedding?
For daytime celebrations, opt for lighter fabrics and softer palettes. Airy chiffon styles in floral prints or pastels feel celebratory yet relaxed. A midi dress is often an appropriate silhouette thatโs sophisticated enough for a ceremony and relaxed enough for a reception.
How can I make a cocktail dress look more formal?
Elevate a simple silhouette with accessories. Swap flats for strappy heels and add a structured blazer. Statement jewellery such as bold earrings add sophistication. Small details like a polished hairstyle create a chic evening ensemble.
Which fabrics are best for evening cocktail events?
For a polished evening look, choose luxury fabrics that catch the light. Satin and silk offer a beautiful sheen, while crepe provides a structured finish. These high-quality materials ensure you look sophisticated and refined throughout the event.
