A cocktail dress is considered semiformal and typically falls just above the knee—suitable for many late-afternoon and evening events. The term emerged in 1940s France to describe women’s dresses that were designed for parties and gatherings where cocktails were served.


Cocktail dresses come in many colors and styles, including the timeless little black cocktail dress, elegant cocktail dresses for wedding guests, and long-sleeve cocktail dresses for cool-weather dinner parties. Whether you’re attending a work party, prom, or wedding, a cocktail dress is a fashionable and comfortable outfit made for dancing and mingling with other guests.

The way you style your cocktail dress depends on the occasion. Make it formal with dazzling jewelry, or dress it down with a casual jacket. These accessories can adjust the look of your dress instantly:


  • Shoes: A cocktail dress puts your feet on display, so choose shoes that match the vibe of your dress. For example, strappy sandals and flirty heels are ideal for a summer cocktail dress.
  • Bags: Small bags accent cocktail dresses without overwhelming them and are roomy enough for a few essentials.
  • Jackets and wraps: On a chilly evening, outerwear keeps you warm while accenting your outfit. A faux fur or silk wrap pairs perfectly with a wedding cocktail dress, and a leather jacket gives an edge to a red cocktail dress.
  • Jewelry: Necklaces, earrings, and bracelets instantly make any formal cocktail dress more glamorous. Add sparkle to a black cocktail dress with a pair of diamond earrings or a tennis bracelet.


The sellers on Etsy offer clothing in every style and size, including plus-size and petite cocktail dresses. Looking for something extra-special? Some shops can customize their cocktail dresses to fit your measurements or event theme.
