HOW TO DRESS FOR A COCKTAIL PARTY

 

Last week I attended another formal event - a British Cocktail Party on the occasion of the birthday of HM Queen Elizabeth II. We have even received an official Thank You letter from Buckingham Palace!

The dresscode for a cocktail party is fairly clear:

• An elegant short dress
• No evening gowns, no summer beach dresses
• Length from just above to below the knee
• Popular materials include silk, satin and chiffon
• Any colour
• A LBD is appropriate, however not desired for a Cocktail Party

Letzte Woche hatte ich eine weitere Einladung zu einem offiziellen Empfang - eine Britische Cocktail Party zu Ehren des Geburtstages von HM Queen Elizabeth II. Wir haben sogar ein offizielles Dankesschreiben aus dem Buckingham Palast erhalten!

Natürlich kann man ein Kleines Schwarzes tragen, aber so sehr ich den Stil liebe, so sollte man es zu einer Cocktailparty auch gerne mal im Schrank lassen, es gibt genügend andere Gelegenheiten, es auszuführen.

Der Dresscode für eine Cocktailparty lautet:

• etwa knielanges, elegantes Kleid
• bevorzugte Materialien sind Seide, Chiffon oder Satin
• nicht zu steif und formell, also keine Abendkleider
• ruhig etwas Farbe, vor allem im Sommer

Meinen deutschsprachigen Leserinnen empfehle ich einen Besuch auf Claire's Blog Countess Claire, die einen sehr informativen Post zum Thema Dresscode Cocktail geschrieben hat!

When I saw one of my dear blogger friends, the gorgeous Alexandra of Rhymes With Fashion wearing this stunning silky shift dress, I knew I had to introduce her to my readers. Doesn't she look amazing in this bright blue dress which is a perfect example of a cocktail dress?

I have been following Alexandra's blog for quite a while and love her unique style - feminine and often a bit edgy, always with a big smile and certainly never boring. Please visit her at Rhymes With Fashion.
