Party dresses are notoriously difficult to shop for. Trying to consider different seasons, occasions and dress codes whilst finding your dress is almost impossible and leaves you excessively limited on choice. But your seemingly futile search ends here! Here are 10 party dresses that you can wear to any and every occasion; summer, winter, wedding or birthday, look no further.
Everyone knows that a little black dress is a wardrobe essential. A classic look and therefore perfect for any occasion, day or night. The style is so simple that although there are endless high fashion, designer black party dresses out there, it’s just as easy to find something plain and cheap that still achieves a classic and classy look.
Shop the look:
Ideal for summer with sandals or flip flops, but looks just as good in the colder months with a pair of chelsea boots, a midi dress is always a good idea. It’s such a versatile style that can look casual or formal with a simple change of shoe or accessory. A midi dress can be worn to a summer wedding or a Christmas party so you’ll never be without a party dress.
Shop the look:
There are so many different types of wrap dress. For something more formal, try something long sleeved, but if you’re shopping for a summer garden party, a short sleeved wrap dress is exactly what you need. The criss crossing front of a wrap dress makes a simple and easy dress much more interesting.
Shop the look:
Strapless dresses usually seem like a very summery look, but again, with the right jacket and accessories can be perfect for both a beach party or a wintery dinner. Similar to the wrap dress, a really simple and easy dress made strapless just gives it something more. Pair with trainers for a casual event, but wear with heels and it instantly becomes much more formal. The straight line of a strapless dress is very flattering and gives you more freedom with jewellery, like a statement necklace.
Shop the look:
If you’re not comfortable with the more revealing style of a strapless dress, try something backless instead. You keep that fancier element of the dress, but you can maintain a higher neckline. Wear your hair up with a backless dress to really show off the interesting cut of it.
Shop the look:
Either match the summer flowers or remind yourself of them in winter with a classic floral dress. If you want to mix it up with a pattern, floral is an easy way to go. Great for casual parties or choose a darker floral for the evening. A floral dress is an effortless outfit – one of the most perfect party dresses for any occasion!
Shop the look:
If you’re looking to mix up your plain dresses with something a bit more out there than a floral, try a print dress. A patterned dress paired with plainer shoes and accessories is great for occasions to change up your usual looks. Whether it’s polka dots, animal print or cherries like this one, printed dresses are a great choice.
Shop the look:
A similar classic look like the little black dress, but this one is definitely easier to dress down for daytime occasions. Absolutely perfect for weddings and daytime parties but worn with heels and some statement jewellery, a white ruffle dress can look classy and formal for the evening.
Shop the look:
A slip dress is so adaptable for all occasions! The silky material makes it formal and elegant, especially when paired with heels. However, throw a simple white tee underneath for more of a pinafore dress style outfit that looks much more casual – perfect for daytime events. Such a versatile option to keep in your wardrobe for any party!
Shop the look:
Sparkly dresses are usually confined to a formal, evening setting but really they can be great for any occasion! Pair a sparkly dress with some white trainers to make it more casual, and switch them out for heels for an evening party. An underrated style that looks great at any occasion!
