It always amuses me to see a wardrobe full of clothes. However, when it comes to dressing up for a cocktail party, you'll find me sitting in a secluded corner of my room, too low to even experiment with the clothes I have, and so infuriated that I, sometimes, end up turning down my plans. What? Why that surprised gaze? If you are a female reading this, you aren't astonished, I know. But if you are a male reading this, don't you know we are the sex that obsesses about what we wear and how we wear? For me, that conventional (always a life-rescuer) cute, tiny, li'l black dress does the trick at most occasions, for I very well know of the fact that when you're clueless about getting into the right clothes, black emerges as the only Good Samaritan to your party-wear lot.
But then, the issue is, till when, and how many times? If you are an avid party freak, you wouldn't want to wear the same color and pattern over and over again - not because people would start noticing, but because you'll no more be confident wearing cocktail party dresses of similar pattern every time you go for partying. So, if you're hunting all over hell for a sexy, chic cocktail dress, here I put forth relevant information with regards to the various cocktail dress patterns that are available in the market.
Rules for selecting clothing don't change with your age, if you've maintained your body. Problem areas stay the same, and hence, you pick up a cocktail dress that flaunts your positive areas. So, whether it is the prom or the New Year's eve, only the correct pick of cocktail attire will accentuate your body.
To start with designer evening dresses and dress patterns, you could wear
knee length dresses for a dinner party, or a short cocktail dress for a jazzy night out. On the other hand, if it's a wedding, the perfect evening wedding attire would be going for a long vintage cocktail dress. Patterns in wedding dresses differ in accordance with your body shape. For example, if you have thunder thighs or you're towards the plumper domain, don't go for skin-fitted cocktail dresses as they would make you feel utterly awkward. On the other hand, if you're
very slim, you could go for dresses with a frilled-pattern. They efficiently accentuate your look, while keeping your sleekness at bay. With that said, here are all the various patterns within the domain of cocktail attire available in the market for you to choose from.
| The Halter |
 |
Nothing's as sexy a cocktail dress as the halter top dress. The best thing about this cocktail dress is that you really don't need to care about your body type, for the halter that goes beyond your neck and ties up, elongates your torso, and creates an illusion of a slimmer you. What's more, you could go for a frock-like pattern if you're a bit plumper, for showing your hips wouldn't look nice. One thing you should mull over while wearing an elegant cocktail dress is that, you need to refrain from showing your bra straps while wearing a halter top cocktail dress, for it looks extremely ugly. What's more, those sleek could go for a thin strap, while those who're a bit chubby should go for thicker straps. |
| The Wrap |
 |
What say about a white silk wrap dress that is timeless favorite? When you wear a silk wrap dress with immense elegance, team it up with high heel stilettos, and apply that trademark red lipstick, you wouldn't want to be neglected, trust me. A wrap dress makes up for one of the most perfect patterns, and a dark color choice such as shades of red, orange, navy blue, and pastel accentuate your look like none other. Note that, if you're a bit plump, wrap dresses could be the best pick to hide your bust line! |
| The A-Line |
 |
Are you one of those that love keeping it simple? Well, some simple patterns such as the A-line cocktail dresses could be your best pick if you're out with friends, or at a wedding party in the day time. What's more, if you love being girly, and prefer giving a dainty feminine touch to everything you wear, an A-line dress in floral patterns could make you look adorable and sexy at the same time. What's more, if you wear an off-shoulder dress at the cocktail party, you don't need anything else, but a li'l bit of make up. Guess what? You're sorted, and all-set to steal the show! |
| The One-Shoulder |
 |
I'm already jealous! If you're in possession of toned arms and collar bones, I wouldn't refrain from calling you one of the luckiest females on the face of this earth. Dude, you could have any supermodel's nose to grindstone if you know how to flaunt your curves and toned arms and legs. Hey, the quintessential one-shoulder cocktail dress pattern is yours! Go for the Goddess dress pattern if you're out on an official dinner party, or simple pick up a cool one-shoulder dress for a friends-night-out! Wear gladiator sandals with such a dress, and whoosh! Be ready to witness some lusty glances at the party (just kidding!). Make the most of your toned figure, and certainly avoid wearing this dress if you are a fuller-figure! |
| The Sexy, Li'l Black Dress |
 |
The above four might make up for different patterns, but there's nothing that can stand a chance against the sexy black dress that's a must-have wardrobe essential for every woman who believes in herself. There's a thing about black. You wear a black dress one fine day, and people wouldn't recognize it when you wear it again. That's the best thing about the black dress. Nothing can make you look sexier than this kind of a cocktail attire. It doesn't ask what kind of party you're going to attend, what time of the day is it, or what kind of gathering are you expecting. You wear it, and you're safe. Fetch a black dress of any pattern, it's bound to look sexy on you. Wear it with boots, stilettos, flats, or anything! Suits you, trust me. |
You know, there's a thing with these cocktail dress patterns. You really need to look for the type of body you have. It's a tricky situation, if you ask me. While the correct pick of the evening dresses would make you look exceptionally sexy, a pick gone wrong could turn your look into a total disaster. Whatever be it, it's ultimately upon you as to how would you pick up the cocktail dress that speaks volumes about you.
