Anytime you need a cocktail dress, everything in your closet suddenly seems unworthy. Let's face it, if we're going to a fun event, it's really special to get to wear a new dress. So for all those cocktail parties you've got to attend this season, pick up a new dress (or two). It'll make getting dressed to go out that much more fun.
Right now, our favourite dresses are patterned and romantic but still a little sexy. We're also loving brighter colours and unexpected patterns, just to make sure we're keeping it interesting. Plus, sparkles are always a good idea. We love these 12 dresses because they're so versatile. You can go to any kind of party in these dresses, and you're guaranteed to make an entrance. It's the season of cocktail parties, so you're going to want to shop these picks before they're gone!
