HOOK THE COCKTAIL DRESS:

6 Effortless Tips

Choose a style that enhances your shape by adding curves where you want them and creating a gorgeous silhouette. Curve enhancers? A deep ‘V’ neckline which creates a focal point at the waist, making it look smaller. Ruching is also a great curve inducer whether at the waist or sides of a dress. And of course, a belt, sash or waistband at the waist creates curves.

Add a touch of bling with eye-popping sparkly earrings, necklace or bracelets (but not all three if you are going for understated elegance).

The days of color matching your handbag and shoes with your outfit are well and truly over; so up the ante with a silver or gold purse, or go all out with a vibrant color. Nude/skin tone colored shoes are all the rage and I love this look. Make your legs go on forever in a nude or metallic pump for optimal impact.

Look for glam embellishments that set your dress apart from the rest and add that ‘wow’ factor. Lace inserts, sheer panels, beads, bows or ruffles all add to the personality of the dress.

What is your style sensibility? Lace, flounces and bows in paler shades suggest femininity and romance, while sharp, minimalist styles suggest trend-setting, effortless style. Gun metal gray, black and deep maroon suggest sophistication and elegance, while vivid colors and unusual shapes say cutting-edge creativity and élan.

Gold and silver offer a range of tones that can lift your energy and elegance levels into the stratosphere. If a solid base of either of these colors in your cocktail dress is too much for you, then try a bold stroke with sequins or beads, or add distinctive touches of jewelry to enliven your look and add sparkle.
