Dresses You Absolutely Need for Your Next Cocktail Party

The New Year is underway, and it’s time to start planning your 2021 wardrobe. What will you be wearing to this year’s cocktail parties and other social gatherings? If you don’t want to be stuck in last year’s styles, check out this list of stunning party dresses that are the must-haves from our collection.

Layered Maxi Length Dress

Cocktail parties, while not black-tie affairs, do call for a certain amount of class and sophistication—and our layered maxi length dress with a crisscross tie has that in spades. The layered, pleated skirt of this dress gives the illusion of a gown near maxi length, but with sides high enough to show off your legs. This asymmetrical look is a unique and eye-catching twist on the traditional cocktail dress, which would fall around the knee.

The back and neckline are also gorgeous, exposing just enough décolletage to let you feel sexy while still keeping it classy. The deep V neckline and crisscross straps provide a touch of understated sex appeal to take this gown to the next level. If you’re looking for a new “little black dress” to wear to parties this year, this dress is a must-have.

Maxi Length Velvet Dress

If you want something a bit more high-class, our maxi length velvet dress with V-wire detail is precisely what you need. It also comes in a sophisticated black, but this floor-length gown is best for those events where you want to feel like a star. The luxurious velvet material adds sensual texture and visual interest and will surely make you one of the best-dressed women in the room.

If you’re worried about the maxi length being too stuffy, don’t you fret; this gown still shows off plenty of skin. The high slit will give everyone a peek at your gorgeous legs as you work the room. And the V-wire neckline beautifully emphasizes your bust while showing off your neck and shoulders. If you’ve got some fancy affairs on your docket for this year, you’ll need this gown in your closet.

Bodycon Dress with Open Back Design

Want something a bit more suited for your everyday parties and get-togethers? The Bodycon dress with an open back design is just laidback enough to wear to a dinner party but fancy enough for a cocktail party too. The slim fit hugs your curves, and the long sleeves and most neckline balance out the short hemline, keeping it appropriate for a wider variety of parties and gatherings.

But don’t worry about looking too uptight. Just turn around, and everyone will see the open back design that adds significant sex appeal to this dress. Available in black with either white or gold trim, this dress will have you rethinking just how sexy a long-sleeved dress can be.

Scrunched Satin Tube Dress

The previous three dresses in this list are primarily black, but if you’re looking to add a bit of color to your party dresses, consider the scrunched satin tube dress from our catalog. The texture and sheen of the satin scream sophistication, but that panel of sheer fabric keeps things sexy and visually attractive across the middle. With a short hem and sleeveless design, you’ll feel like a million bucks at any party you attend.

Give your wardrobe a makeover this year by adding some stunning and sophisticated cocktail dresses to your closet. As life slowly works its way back to normalcy, you can look forward to wearing these fantastic dresses at the cocktail parties and celebrations you’re sure to attend.
