Dresses to Impress for the Modern Woman
The history of cocktail hour begins with the start of the modern working woman. Fitted yet modest for work, cocktail dress styles were refined for the appearance of classic office workwear. But with the difference of finer materials in satin, chiffon and silk. It's the perfect dress designed for office work or presentations, before taking on a night out on town.
Ladies' cocktail dresses have evolved today to offer more flattering form-fitting cuts, knee-high and midi lengths, and statement-making details that will break the ice for any event.
The Cocktail Edit

Summer Cocktail Nights
Spring and summer nights are more glamorous with a stylish ladies' cocktail dress and a martini in hand. Lightweight but quality fabrics keep you comfortable as temperatures rise in every summer cocktail dress, and delicious details add interest to turn heads. Exude elegance in a high halter neck, play up the charm with flirty floral prints or draw more attention to the waist with belted dresses. When you're dressing for cocktails, you're allowed to be more dressy but also to have more fun.
Ladies' Cocktail Dresses for Colder Nights
For cocktail parties and events that take place on breezier days or nights, slip into an Australian cocktail dress with long sleeves. Made for the weather, mini dresses with long sleeves balance the look on the eye. Then slip on sheer or flesh-toned stockings and pumps to stay warm.
A maxi or midi dress can also make an effortless choice to cover your legs with more length. Pair with a nice jacket, and you're set for drinks no matter the weather.
