One Shoulder Cocktail Dress
A sophisticated and original outfit will be one in which there is a noticeable asymmetry. Usually a cocktail dress with this style is made in the shortest length. One shoulder can be completely covered, and options with one long sleeve are also popular. A woman in such a dress will intrigue and fascinate with her appearance.

Cocktail dress in a casual look
Thinking practically is the main goal in choosing a cocktail wardrobe for the fall-winter season 2017-2018. As a rule, we are faced with the problem of “one-time dress”, but we don’t want to hide a cocktail dress until better times. A slip dress is just the case when you can kill two birds with one stone: choose an elegant look for a party, and put together a stylish outfit for every day. What will you need? First, a plain turtleneck to match the dress for a monochromatic look. Secondly, massive boots. Yes, yes, powerful platforms, an abundance of rivets and lacing, fur trim - all these details, which, it would seem, are absolutely polar in style, will clearly not be superfluous. And, of course, to complete the look, we are not afraid of combinations with voluminous coats, yeti fur coats and leather jackets.
Bust cocktail dress
In first place among evening cocktail dresses for the summer is the classic bustier dress. There are no straps in it, the length is mini, the skirt can be either full or straight cut. This outfit is the height of attractiveness, irresistibility and femininity. A woman in a bustier cocktail dress will amaze everyone around her.

Lace dress
You can add tenderness and romance to your look with a light and incredibly mesmerizing lace cocktail dress. Today, models of lace dresses, in which the bottom layer is contrastingly different from the top, are gaining popularity. This will allow you to see the lace in its full glory; the pattern will also highlight all the woman’s advantages and create the image of a gentle lady.

Asymmetrical cocktail dresses
A dress with asymmetry should be chosen by a woman who has any figure flaws. An accent in the form of different lengths of a cocktail dress will hide all the imperfections and at the same time reveal the prominent parts of the figure. This season, dresses with asymmetrical hemlines are a popular trend for many fashionistas.

Cocktail dresses: fall-winter fashion trends
First, it is worth noting that a cocktail dress has nothing in common with an evening dress. In the classical sense, such a product should be above the knee length, and also without sleeves and a collar. Over time, standards have changed and designers have introduced alternatives. Today it is believed that a cocktail dress should be knee-length or midi-length. Due to this, it looks more elegant.
In the autumn-winter season, not only classic dresses will be relevant. Products with translucent inserts, lace, various embroidery or appliqué look much more interesting. Thanks to such details, even the simplest, laconic black dress will acquire special charm and elegance.
When choosing such an outfit, it is very important to pay attention to the quality of the material used for sewing. We recommend choosing natural fabrics that are pleasant to the body. However, there should still be an admixture of synthetic threads. After all, they contribute to the fact that products retain their original appearance for a long time. The most popular will be jacquard, tweed, silk, satin, velvet and others.
As for the color scheme, in the cold season it will be quite varied. Classic black, red and white colors remain on trend. Therefore, if you are in doubt about the choice, then feel free to purchase one of these options. Gray and beige also look very stylish. By purchasing a dress in this color, you can create absolutely any look.
For those who are looking for a brighter wardrobe item, we recommend paying attention to the dress in terracotta, dark blue, marsala, and emerald shades. They suit any type of appearance and color type.
It should be noted that prints will be especially relevant in the autumn-winter season. For example, a classic floral pattern on a dress will help add a touch of romance to your look.
Confident girls who know exactly what they want to achieve should take a closer look at animal print.
The real hit of the coming season is metallic shine. Therefore, a golden or silver dress is a must-have for every fashionista!
