Cocktail Dresses For Under $100

cocktail dresses under $100

If there is ever a dilemma over what to wear, the cocktail dress would be the attire that gives most women a headache.

Can any dress be worn as a ‘cocktail’ dress? How formal does the ‘cocktail’ attire have to be?

A cocktail dress needs to be dressier than a smart casual dress, but not as formal as an evening dress. It’s perfectly acceptable to wear a dress above the knees or opt for a maxi-dress number.

As I always say to my clients, it’s better to be overdressed than underdressed.

Many end of year parties and functions will call for guests to wear a cocktail dress. Finding a dress that will suit the occasion when you have kids can be a little difficult, so we’ve done the scouring for you. And all these come in under our budget of $100.

A cocktail dress is an essential staple in a woman’s wardrobe and I believe women should have at least two dresses to call on should the need arise to avoid making a rash buy.
