Party attire at its core, cocktail dresses are versatile, playful, and always stylish. They first landed a spot on the fashion trends lists over a century ago, quickly becoming a wardrobe staple for Flapper-era party animals. Since then, cocktail dresses have withstood the test of time — and today they strike the perfect balance between formal and semi formal dress codes for evening events and special occasions.

While cocktail dresses for weddings do lean more on the formal side of dress codes, that doesn’t mean you can’t incorporate some personality to your look. With no rigid rules, you’re free to play around with colors, prints, textures, and silhouettes. After all, the best cocktail dresses are equal parts classy and fun.
The answer is simple: YES! Weddings are the perfect opportunity to break out one of your favorite cocktail dresses and get glammed up. Plus, cocktail dresses for weddings can easily be dressed up or down with a few key accessories, making them perfect for everything from a black tie affair to a dressy casual beach bash.
However, it’s still important to check the dress code on your invitation before adding a new dress to your cart. If the dress code is anything less than semi formal, you may want to bench that cocktail dress until your next formal celebration.
