Cottage Core

The cottage core trend experienced a recent boom after the hit netflix series Bridgerton. It has inspired some gorgeous, floaty, feminine cocktail options that make perfect wedding guest looks!

Floss

Waist floss & spaghetti straps are still an on trend and an elegant option when it comes to 2021 cocktail dresses. Choose a contrasting colour to your skin tone to really make the strappy details pop.

Statement sleeve

Don’t be afraid of sleeves on a cocktail dress. Especially in colder climates they can come in handy and there’s never been a better time to get playful with your sleeves. Whether it’s a bouncy puff sleeve or a longer mutton or bell sleeve, you can get creative with shape and texture.

Cut Outs

Get playful with a variety of cut out styles on offer. Cut outs were a hot trend last season but they are more popular than ever. Especially waist cut outs that show off the sides.

Embellishments

Fringing, ruffles, metallics & beads allow for fun and embellishment. Bring a bit of personality to your cocktail look with playful texture and eye catching features.
