We all should have a good, easy cocktail dress or two in our closet. We never know when it will be needed. Perhaps work is requiring us to attend some fundraiser. Or perhaps you just got invited to an engagement party. It can be both fun and nerve-wracking to find a good cocktail dress. We want to make sure it is something we can wear again and again. Luckily, I’ve got you covered with 4 easy cocktail dress ideas. These types of dresses are great and can often be worn again and again.
I also love finding new places to buy my dresses. I also especially love finding new plus-sized dress options. While I am not plus-sized myself, I often hear my plus-sized friends complaining that there are not as many options out there. Or that the options they do find often look frumpy. And no one wants frumpy. That’s why I’m glad I stumbled upon Kiyonna, an online women’s clothing retailer specifically offering sizes 10-32. Here are 4 easy cocktail dress ideas as modeled by the lovely ladies of Kiyonna. Even if you’re not plus-sized, these types of dresses are ones to keep in mind when shopping for that perfect cocktail dress.
1. The wrap dress
A wrap dress looks so elegant. The best thing about a wrap dress is that it can double as a work dress. It works in both situations so well!
2. The lace dress
Lacey dresses are also perfect for dates. And we all need a good date night dress in our closet, right?
3. The elegant neckline dress
A dress with a becoming neckline is just perfect. It creates this elegant look and it’s also unique. I don’t know about you, but I love wearing things that not everyone else is wearing. These two dresses are bound to be the only two in the room.
4. The classic maxi
I love a good maxi. Like the wrap dresses, maxis are also perfect to wear to work. Here are a few I absolutely love.
Finding that perfect cocktail dress can be difficult. I hope this has provided you with some inspiration. Here are a few of my tried and true tips when looking for a good cocktail dress:
- Buy it in your color. I mean that color you love and know you look great in!
- Can you think of at least 5 accessories that already go with it?
- Will it go with black or nude heels? If yes, perfect!
- Will you be comfortable in it?
What do you want in a perfect cocktail dress?
