The cocktail dresscode

Whether you’re meeting the girls for Friday night drinks or attending a stylish reception, cocktail dresses are an essential in any woman’s wardrobe. From ladylike lace to draped chiffon or bonded mesh, at THE ICONIC we have a range of chic cocktail dresses catering to all tastes and styles. Traditionally, a cocktail dress for events and special occasions falls to a midi-length hemline at the calf or above the ankle, in line with typical cocktail attire for women.

For a classic look

Forever timeless, a lace dress in classic black or white is an elegant choice for cocktail events, best worn with elevated accessories. A little black dress is eternally popular in women's cocktail dresses, serving as a foundational piece which works year-round, whether it’s a minimalist slip, strapless design or long-sleeved LBD. Meanwhile, cocktail dresses for wedding functions can incorporate a voluminous or pleated skirt for regal glamour.

Bright and bold

Make a statement in bold hues, such as fiery red, cobalt blue or pink cocktail party dress styles. Artful prints enliven your look with expressive energy, while asymmetric elements, applique and sparkling embellishments add standout appeal. Pare back your wedding cocktail party dress or special event outfit with understated heels to let the dress shine. If dresses aren’t for you, jumpsuits make an equally dressed-up alternative in cocktail party wear.

For contemporary appeal

Invest in a well-tailored dress for a refined ensemble. THE ICONIC is home to an expansive collection of ladies cocktail dresses from renowned names in designer labels. Browse premium fabrications, polished cuts and sculptural silhouettes.

Cocktail Dress FAQs

What is a cocktail dress?

A cocktail dress is usually an occasion-appropriate midi dress, falling to the knee, calf or ankle. Cocktail dresses are often made from more luxurious fabrics than their casual counterparts, such as satin, silk, lace, brocade or chiffon.

What's the difference between a cocktail dress and an evening dress?

A cocktail dress code is usually semi-formal, compared to a formal or black-tie dress code, which usually refers to maxi-length evening gowns reaching the floor.

What are the most common colours for a cocktail dress?

A black cocktail dress is one of the most popular choices, thanks to the enduring fashion trend known as the ‘LBD’. Metallic and jewel-toned shades are perfect for evening events, while cocktail gowns for wedding and daytime events can be chosen from trending seasonal colours.
