Unraveling the etiquette code of

events

can be even more difficult than coming up with the right style.

Concepts such as

'half etiquette' or 'cocktail style'

are not as illuminating as the person handing out the invitations thinks, no matter how good their intentions.

There are definitions in the world of fashion that do not give rise to confusion, see

'little black dress'

, that short black dress that cannot be missing from your wardrobe.

However, the idea of ​​a cocktail dress is somewhat more diffuse.

However, it turns out that the cocktail dress is often the best option to be the best dressed guest.

According to

protocol

, long dresses are worn at night weddings, while

short

ones are best seen at daytime ceremonies .

Halfway between one and the other stands the

midi dress

, but it is not the only one.

What is a cocktail dress and when to wear it

The

cocktail dress

is, broadly speaking, a

short party dress

.

It is positioned halfway

between a mini and a midi cut,

because while the midi often reaches mid-calf, the cocktail dress always oscillates

at knee height

, sometimes a few centimeters higher or lower.

It is characterized by being the right point between a

very formal design

and one that is

too casual

.

Precisely for this reason, it is very suitable for

mid-dress

or more relaxed events without becoming casual.

It is also aimed at

late afternoon occasions,

ideal when it is too late for a short film and too early for a feature film.

Communions and baptisms, graduations, social events in general with a

neat touch

, work celebrations and

evening weddings

are the favorite occasions to wear the cocktail dress.

It is also a very flattering

type of dress

for all heights and silhouettes.

Regarding the

cocktail dress trends

for the season, those with a crossed pattern that stylize the figure are especially popular.

Ruffles

, gathers and pleats are also very fashionable in terms of shapes.

While in terms of

colors

, the most vivid share the limelight with pastel tones.

The prevailing patterns of the season are

flowers

and polka dots for very chic and sophisticated guests.
