Cocktail Attire, by Definition
In the simplest terms, cocktail attire is what you would wear to a nice party that hasn't quite reached the level of formality or stuffiness of black tie. The standard outfit is a shorter or midi-length dress, but separates are fine, as are trousers (non-denim). The general vibe is dressed-up but still fun, so you could do sparkles or a massive butt ruffle. You need examples? Here we go.
