Oh Wise One asked:


I’m female looking to meet men, and I am going to attend a singles holiday party in a pub sponsored by an online dating service and the dress is “cocktail casual.” Describe what that means to you.

    Cocktail casual usually means dressy casual, a nice outfit, not too formal or too casual. No long gowns, and no jeans. It’s a fun and flirty look. When in doubt, it’s better to be slightly overdressed than underdressed.

    A knee, or slightly above the knee, dress. A knee, or slightly above the knee, skirt and blouse. Pants with a dressy top.

    Since it is a holiday party for singles, I would stay away from the little black dress, which many women will be wearing. You want to stand out from the crowd, and get noticed in whatever colors and styles complement you the best.

    if you watch “girlfriends” they are always dressing cocktail casual. Nice lacey top, slacks and some heels you can also wear jeans but dress it up with like a gold chain belt. Have fun and I hope you find someone nice.

    Lacy camisole with a nice jacket(slim lined as you do not want it to compete with the wide leg) and a pair of wide leg dress pants of a slinky material. When you walk, the pants will flow, looking feminine without the billowy dress. If it is at night, black pants and jacket and the camisole should be maybe a red, or a deep burgundy. Shoes? Your choice since you could wear boots or heels with the pants. Not too dressed up, but it will look nice. The lacy camisole just peeking out of the jacket will give you the feminine look without looking trashy and will certainly attract attention. Have fun!

    A little black dress is a safe bet.
