TIPS ON COCKTAIL DRESSES
Cocktail dresses are a woman’s outfit that usually displays a shorter length and worn when one is invited to a cocktail party. Cocktail dresses are suitable to be worn on events like prom, homecoming, or other semi-formal or formal gatherings. It comes in different sizes, length, styles and designs but the most popular choice is the “little black dress”.
Some people receive invitation to a party and have no clue on what type of dress to wear. It is when the fear of over or under dressing for the occasion begins to set in. When using an invitation as a clue, you’re more likely to dress casually if the invitation is through email or by phone. If the invitation arrives through the mail, chances are you may need a cocktail dress. Below are few tips you may follow in choosing your cocktail dress in accordance to your body shape:
Pear or Triangle Shape
Women with pear shape have slender and often elongated torso, small bust, with hips and thigh proportionally larger than the torso and waist.
Throw the tight skirt away in favor of an A-line skirt or empire waistline style of dress to de-emphasize the lower part of your body. Add padded shoulders to balance the top and bottom. Select a two-tone dress with the lighter or darker color above the waist and the darker tone below the waist.
Hour Glass Body Shape
This body shape has small bone structure; bust and hip are proportionally larger than the waist.
You are lucky to have such figure, as most women aim for it. Having this type of body shape, you will not have a problem on what area to hide or what area to flaunt. You can just wear anything you like because you have the perfect shape to carry anything. And to show off your wonderful curves, you may opt for body hugging cocktails.
Straight or Rectangle Type Body Shape
This body shape includes a boy-shaped figure, with few visible curves from the shoulders through the hips.
For women having straight or rectangle type body shape, highlighting your waistline when choosing your cocktail is the best way to look sexy and sassy. For this, it is great option to choose top in wrap or surplice style which helps gives definition to the waist. Or consider wearing a coordinated skirt and top, instead of a one piece cocktail dress. You might also consider wearing a cocktail suit with peplum jacket. If you want to wear a dress, include a jeweled or sequin belt, or tie a festive ribbon to cinch the waist, this gives definition to your straight body contour. Avoid tube dress or boxy jackets which will only add no definition to the waistline.
Round or Apple Type Shape
A body shapes larger-than-average overall ample appearance, except that lower legs may be slender. Apple shaped women carry most of the fat around their abdominal region. The attributes of a round or apple shape figure are large bust and waist, but narrow hips.
Resist the urge to wear loose, shapeless and ill-fitting clothing. If you got a round body shape in plus size, you will be pleased to know that a lot of manufacturers today are creating fashionable clothing in your size, than it was in the past years. But take note, you may choose a dress material that drape rather than fabrics that hang or clings to the body. Emphasize your bust with a V-neck dress or you may draw attention to your face and neckline by wearing jewelry. In addition, if your lower legs are shapely, wear some interesting shoe.
Inverted Triangle Body Type
Women having this type of body have broad shoulder with narrow waistline and hip.
This is the only body shape that needs visual tricks to augment the lower body. You may wear a dress with a flare skirt. You may also wear or try to wear an unusual hemline or perhaps an asymmetrical hemline. Moreover, if you wish to wear a cocktail pants suit, your body type can wear wide legs or pants that flare at the bottom. You can also draw attention away from your top by wearing an interesting pair of shoes.
Above all, the most important tip you should remember is to “wear your clothes, but do not let your clothes wear you”. If you are constantly fussing with your clothes, then your clothes are wearing you. The clothes you wear should be carefree and stress free. Also, keep in mind that it is all about style so cultivate your own style. If your personal style varies from what you have read above, that won’t be a problem at all, so long as you wear it with confidence.
