Cocktail Dress
Already the perfect length, many mini dresses are automatically an excellent choice for cocktail hour. A little, black, body con with chunky jewelry and eye catching pumps is of course, a classic. Heels are only one option, a nice chunky sandal or subtle slides can go equally well with a cocktail dress. Those on the petite side hoping to elongate their legs can choose a flat in a matching skin tone color that will get the job done. Lacey materials, metallic colors, and plunging necklines are all hot mini dress fashions that are perfect for cocktail parties.
Blazer Mini
The blazer mini is a hot trend that can work in situations where you want to seem a bit more professional, without sacrificing your personal style. This is also an option when you need to be a bit more formal. Mini doesn’t have to mean informal. You can dress it up with stilettos or dress it down with knee highs. Wearing nothing under the blazer dress is appropriate and sexy but a slip dress or knee high boots can also add a nice touch.
Sleeve or No Sleeve
Most mini dresses have spaghetti straps or are sleeveless. Be sure to look for styles that have short sleeves and even long sleeves as well. These can add a whole new dynamic to the mini dress look. A long sleeve tunic can look great with patterned tights or even leggings if bearing your legs is a little out of your comfort zone. There are even one shoulder and one sleeve mini dresses that add a unique feature to your look.
Fitted
The fitted mini dress is perfect for all occasions. A fit and flare is a classic look that you can pair with bold accessories and a clutch. Even a cute pair of low tops and a head scarf would be a way to dress it down while staying fashionable! A wrap vest dress is a timeless take that lets you highlight your legs while keeping it simple and classic. A scarf or a cropped jacket would be the perfect accessory if it’s cold out but you still want to go for the short look. An open, oversized jacket would work nicely too.
Flowy
Some mini dresses are tight and fitted. These have a little more flow. Movement can be added via ruffles or a cascade. FLowing doesn’t automatically mean casual, some styles are beaded and sequined. Side details or a draped cowl neck can also add some flow to keep things light and sexy. You can add a belt for a little structure and more carefree dresses pair perfectly with a floppy sun hat. Short rompers, fit here as well. Pair them with sandals and sunglasses as a great way to capture the carefree boho look.
Many of these dresses can be dressed up or down. The right makeup, shoes and accessories can make the same dress work for many different occasions. No matter what mini dress style you choose, showcasing your confidence is always in style!
