<-h2->Cocktail dresses for every occasion<-h2-> Cocktail dresses live in the gap between a work event and a proper night out, and our curated collection of them runs through midi and knee lengths in black, emerald, burgundy and deep navy, in satin, velvet and textured woven fabrics. Lined properly and weighted well, they read as occasion without the commitment of a full length gown. Keep the styling calm: a plain court shoe, a small clutch, one piece of gold jewellery at the ear or the wrist rather than both. A black cocktail dress with a heeled sandal and a drop earring covers a winter wedding, then swaps to a flat leather look boot and a longline coat for a Christmas party. For date night, a velvet midi with a fine chain necklace and a slim shoulder bag needs nothing more. Pair the satin skirts in this collection with a fine knit if you would rather build the look from separates. Midi, knee, satin or velvet, the edit covers every invitation in the diary.
