Cocktail dresses are basically smaller versions of an evening dress. In terms of material and cut, the cocktail dresses are not as elaborate as a classic evening dress. Nevertheless, the dresses have a chic look and can be worn for many special occasions. Unlike an evening dress, a cocktail dress usually ends either just above or just below the knee.

Women’s fashion: Cocktail dresses Video Guide
The inventor of classic cocktail dresses is the legendary Coco Chanel. The world-famous French fashion designer invented the “Little Black” in the 1920s. This dress is suitable for a special occasion and for occasions where a classic evening fashion is not prescribed. Coco Chanel designed the dress mainly for the numerous young war widows. Thus the classical evening fashion was supplemented at this time by a further highlight. At the beginning of the 20th century there were many formal conventions. In the context of these cocktail parties were popular social meetings in the form of a private and rather casual round. They usually took place in the late afternoon, immediately after normal working hours. For this reason, the classic cocktail dress is not as elaborate or glamorous as a classic evening dress. In direct comparison to normal daywear, a cocktail dress is much more upscale in style and much more feminine. At the latest in the 50’s the cocktail dress finally prevailed as a classic. The big success was fired by the movie “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”. In this classic, the enchanting Audrey Hepburn wears a little black at a cocktail party.
Most cocktail dresses have a less figure-hugging cut and no deep neckline. Thus the clothes allow a lot of freedom of movement and offer a high wearing comfort. An appealing cocktail dress does not necessarily have to be black and simple. It looks elegant and timeless in many other colours. In direct comparison to an evening dress, the cocktail dress is much more versatile and can be worn on many more occasions. Women wear the dresses at a casual standing party, dinner or a small reception, among other things. A cocktail dress cuts a fine figure at a summer garden party in combination with ballerinas or light sandals. The cocktail dresses are also suitable for larger performances. In such a case, the dresses are worn in combination with a high-quality jewelry, with high-hooked shoes or with a petticoat. The combination with optically matching accessories creates an appealing and fashionable overall picture. The cocktail dress even looks elegant and noble in the form of a simple dress when worn with matching accessories. Popular accessories for cocktail dresses are pearl necklaces with matching earrings, a small evening bag or pumps that are not too high. A dress with a wrap-around look or with a rather asymmetrical cut looks particularly successful. Optimal companions for a not so mild evening are a bolero jacket or a soft and wide cashmere scarf.
Regardless of which accessories a cocktail dress is combined with, every woman will enjoy a classic cocktail dress. The wearers profit from the timeless and elegant look and wear the cocktail dress for almost every occasion. Many women do without classic evening dresses and prefer to wear cocktail dresses instead. This is mainly due to the beautiful feminine shape and the great freedom of movement. The relaxed and casual spirit of the time comes to meet the modern and timeless cocktail dress. The current designers show many models made of velvet, silk and tulle. Cocktail dresses can be decorated with lace and flounces or worn in a more muted color such as olive. Other popular forms are cocktail dresses with a softer line, such as with tulips or voluminous pump skirts.
