In this latest Editor’s Pick of new fashion, we take a look at Cocktail Party Wear in Autumn 2020. The statement sleeve is still a strong trend, whether you go for a cold shoulder or a balloon sleeve. Another key trend for cocktail party fashion are cut outs. Colour-wise, black remains strong for evening as a classic night time choice but deep red is very on trend. For a more relaxed evening look, why not team a knit dress with high heels for a glam-luxe look. Whatever your style, there’s a look to take you to the party.
OFF THE SHOULDER TULLE TOP
I don’t know about you, but I love separates for evening wear. I think you can’t go past pants teamed with a nice top, especially in a gorgeous decadent fabric such as mesh or tulle. It’s a little bit sheer so it’s sexy yet has sleeves so you feel a bit covered up, in between seasons. I teamed this Black Mesh Ruffle Off The Shoulder Top with my own classic black straight leg pants and black high heels. I would grab a black clutch purse and in this mesh top you are ready to party.
LEATHER LOOK
Leather has been a classic fashion staple since the 60s and it’s laden with sex appeal. Get the drama (without the high price tag) in this leather-look Black PU High Neck Organza Puff Sleeve Mini Dress, with a high neck to keep it chic, and organza puff sleeves to stay bang on trend.
CUT AWAY DRESS
Fancy a bit of wine? How about this Wine One Shoulder Tie Side Midi Dress, in a one shoulder style in an elegant yet super comfortable to wear soft knit fabric with a tie side detail. It’s a really nice below the knee length, with flattering side ruching, and a single long sleeve. You can wear it back to front if you prefer the sleeve on the other arm. Try it with a wine coloured lipstick and black or nude heels for a drop-dead evening glam look.
GREY KNIT COLD SHOULDER DRESS
Stay on trend with a knit jersey dress with statement sleeves and a cut out to tick all the boxes. When you want to look dressed up, but not over the top glam, this Grey Cold Shoulder Cut Out Jersey Dress might be just the ticket. The long-sleeved jersey dress is totally easy to wear, with cold shoulder cut out detailing and a belted waist to pull in the waist of the loose fitting sweater dress. Dress it up or down with trainers or flats, or heels for night. It’s up to you, this dress will work either way for you.
