Easy Sophistication with a Black Cocktail Dress

If you’re heading to a black tie wedding, a sophisticated awards ceremony, work function or other occasion that calls for a touch of sophistication, you can’t go wrong with the fantastic range of black cocktail dresses which are available online at the moment. Many people shy away from black cocktail dresses over the summer but paired with some smokey makeup, a tan and some bright accessories; you can have the ultimate sophisticated look which you’ll be able to reuse again and again. We give you the lowdown on the best ways to work black cocktail dresses this summer.

Keep it Cool and Go Short

Black cocktail dresses put you at a disadvantage when the sun’s out, as the colour tends to attract the sun, which can leave you feeling hot and bothered. If you’re going to be at an outdoor function, stick to a shorter style which will help keep your legs cool, which will help you out when battling the sun. Black cocktail dresses featuring voluminous skirts, strappy details and even lace styles are perfect for the summer, so take a look at the large number of short black cocktail dresses which are available.

Go Glamorous in Maxi Lengths

If you really want to make an impression, nothing beats sleek, sweeping black cocktail dresses. If you’ve ever wanted to feel as glamorous as Angelina Jolie, long black cocktail dresses are certainly the way forward. Worn with simple accessories, long black cocktail dresses with fishtail details and sweeping trains will give you that Hollywood chic vibe that will make you feel a million dollars.

Pretty Lace Details

If you can’t bear the thought of going for complete black this summer, you can lighten things up with lace black cocktail dresses instead, featuring nude, cream and white details which will keep the look sophisticated but on a slightly more summer friendly scale. Black cocktail dresses with hints of lace are a major trend right now, so take you pick from maxi, mini or midi black cocktail dress lengths to work the look at any occasion.

Be Daring with Sheer and Cut Outs

There’s no better time than summer to show off some skin, so if you’re brave enough to bare, there are some fantastic black cocktail dresses available to do this effortlessly. Remember to keep in mind where you’ll be wearing the dress, sheer and cut out black cocktail dresses may not be suitable for every occasion but if you’ve got it, why not flaunt it. Avoid overdoing it with black cocktail dresses by keeping the rest of the look simple and understated.

Cover Up With Sleeves

The good news for ladies who may not be so confident about showing off their arms this summer (as well as those with dodgy tan lines…), is that there are a large number of long sleeved black cocktail dresses available perfect for covering your arms and maintaining a sleek and sophisticated look. Whether worn in lace styles or with a cool one shouldered detail, you will be sure to find a sleeved look which works for you.
