What is Cocktail Attire?

Here's how to decipher a party invite dress code that says "cocktail attire"

Question: What is cocktail attire?

Answer: When the dress code on an invitation reads, "cocktail attire," it suggests a dark suit worn with a tie (a navy or charcoal grey suit is best) for men, and a shorter, party-ready dress for women, such as a little black dress or even dressy separates like a skirt and blouse. Cocktail attire is less dressy than "formal" attire, and much more casual than "black tie."

There is a playfulness and festive attitude implied with cocktail attire, which is why you'll often see it on invitations for holiday parties, weddings, receptions, class reunions and anniversary celebrations.

More Ideas For Cocktail Attire For Women

These days, dress codes and attire suggestions aren't nearly as limiting as they once were. Cocktail attire for women can encompass a broad range of looks that of course includes the classic little black dress, a more festive or colorful dress with a print/texture, or a pairing of a top and bottom.

The best way to determine what kind of cocktail attire you should wear is to consider what you think the host might wear, and go from there. If your host is older or rather traditional, go with a look that is more classic—but don't be afraid to have fun with accessories and shoes. If your host is creative and stylish, echo that vibe and wear something trendy like a pair of silky jogger pants, a cashmere turtleneck and pointed-toe pumps.

Different Types of Cocktail Dresses

Cocktail dresses come in many varieties and hemlines now, too. Your only guidelines should be that for a true cocktail party, your hemline should hit below the tips of your fingers when your arms are at rest, and should not go so far as to skim the floor. Knee-length, midi and mini dresses are all acceptable.

• The Little Black Cocktail Dress: It can be both timeless and trendy—there's no reason not to have more than one in your closet for a variety of occasions.
• The Embellished Cocktail Dress: These dresses tend to be more trend-forward, but they are by far the most playful and festive cocktail dresses.
• The Lace Cocktail Dress: Lace dresses are the most feminine and potentially proper style of cocktail dresses—perfect for Easter Sunday, daytime weddings and even date night!
• The A-Line Cocktail Dress: We love the flirty, glamorous silhouette of an a-line dress, they can be strapless, cap-sleeved, spaghetti strapped—you name it.
• The Long Sleeve Cocktail Dress: This is a trendier, fun style of cocktail dress, but it can also be incredibly elegant in a longer, midi length.
• The Strapless Cocktail Dress: If you've got an hourglass figure or shoulders you love to show off, a strapless dress is a dressy, pretty option.

More Ideas For Cocktail Attire For Men

For men, the cocktail attire dress code hasn't changed much in the past few decades. A suit is required, but how you wear it can vary. Our best advice (as mentioned above) is to consider your host and hostess, as well as the venue of the occasion.

A more traditional or older host may prefer that male party guests wear dark suits and ties, and probably a classic solid-color shirt.

If your host(s) is/are younger or more creative by nature, feel free to relax the requirements a bit. Keep the dark suit (and make sure it's expertly tailored to fit you), but feel free to add in a trendier element such as a knit tie, a pocket square, a printed shirt or colorful socks. We suggest wearing lace-up brogues/oxfords or loafers as a rule, and make sure your grooming is up to snuff, too. This is not an occasion to test-drive that whole "sneakers with your suit" look they often promote in magazines, nor is it an occasion to wear a t-shirt under your suit jacket.

When Is Cocktail Attire Usually Required?

Depending on your lifestyle and the stage of life you're in, you may not attend events that require cocktail attire all that often.

Most commonly, cocktail attire is requested at weddings, holiday parties, retirement celebrations, school reunions, anniversary and engagement parties. The key word is of course, party. Cocktail attire is meant to be worn for fun, dressy events that are celebratory in nature.

One more tip to keep in mind? Any time an invitation lacks a dress code (which they so often do in 2016), you're better off being overdressed than underdressed, as a rule. If you have any doubts, reach out to the host or hostess for advice.

Grumpy Old Man: a change from the Moscow Mule

THIS PAGE MAY CONTAIN AFFILIATE LINKS. PLEASE READ MY DISCLOSURE.

I’m not sure why this cocktail got named the Grumpy Old Man. It doesn’t seem fair, since it’s absolutely charming and that’s one thing grumpy old men are not. Maybe it’s the cure for being a grump? That could be.

This drink adds a healthy portion of bourbon to a glass of ginger ale and lime juice. It tastes wonderful, especially with a spicier ginger ale such as Vernor’s (my personal favorite). If that one is too spicy for you, Canada Dry has a nice, mild flavor.

I think of this one as an alternative to the Moscow Mule. The Mule has vodka instead of bourbon, and ginger beer instead of ginger ale. But both drinks have the flavors of ginger and lime. This one, of course, adds all the notes of whatever bourbon you use. Gentleman Jack gives you a nice, smooth flavor. No. 7 works too, and offers a little more punch. Any bourbon you like tastes great with ginger ale and lime.

In my humble opinion, this drink is more interesting than the Moscow Mule because the bourbon adds more flavor than the vodka. Of course, if you don’t love bourbon, you may feel differently. But it’s worth a try, especially since the ginger and lime are the dominant flavors.

If you want to make it really special, try serving it in this gorgeous antique copper finish Moscow Mule mug. Or you could go for a more traditional style copper mug.

If you like this drink, try the Naughty Gnome. It features Vernor’s with Captain Morgan Spiced Rum. That’s two ingredients that have hints of spice, so it’s a drink guaranteed to wake you up.

This is a drink that was made for unwinding at the end of a stressful day. Two ounces of bourbon relaxes away a lot of tension, while ginger ale and lime refresh you. You can enjoy this one along with just about any meal. Try it with these Balsamic Glazed Steak Rolls from TBSP. Fish Parcels with Ginger & Spring Onions from Fuss Free Cooking would be delicious with it, too.

You can also enjoy this drink with a nice salty snack – pretzels, nuts, or maybe asiago cheese crisps.

Grumpy Old Man Drink Recipe

The Grumpy Old Man cocktail features bourbon, lime juice and ginger ale. It's a lot like the Moscow Mule, but with bourbon instead of vodka. This gives it more flavor, and you may find you like it even better.

3 min Prep Time

3 min Total Time

1. Put ice into an old-fashioned glass.
2. Add the bourbon and lime juice , and then top it off the rest of the way with ginger ale .
3. Serve with a straw.

When I picture my perfect Memorial Day -- meaning the Monday proper, after most of us have had our share of barbecue beers and whatnot -- what I'd really like to do on that day is sit on a porch, in a nice, big, comfy chair (rocking, or Adirondack -- I'm not picky) and spend the afternoon reading a good book and sipping on something wonderful.

Mehr als 60 Damen folgten am 29.6.2015 der Einladung von Frauenlandesrätin Mag.a Doris Hummer und Vizepräsidentin der Wirtschaftskammer OÖ Mag.a Angelika Sery-Froschauer ins Bergschlößl in Linz.

Ein wesentliches Ziel der Frauenpolitik in Oberösterreich ist, Frauen beim Schritt in Führungspositionen zu unterstützen. Dazu gehört vor allem die nachhaltige Erhöhung des Frauenanteils in Aufsichtsräten. Im Vergleich zur Vorperiode, in der 11,93 Prozent aller vom Land OÖ nominierten Aufsichtsratsmandate mit Frauen besetzt waren, liegt der Wert nun bereits bei rund 33 Prozent. Diesen Trend möchte Frauenlandesrätin Mag.a Doris Hummer auch in Zukunft weiter konsequent verfolgen.

Möglich wird das auch durch ein spezielles Weiterbildungsangebot für Frauen: Das Programm „Frauen in Aufsichtsräten“ vermittelt und stärkt die Kompetenzen, die potenzielle und aktive Aufsichtsrätinnen benötigen. Ziel ist es, Mut zu machen und Frauen auf ihrem Karriereweg zu unterstützen. Zentrale Aspekte der Unternehmensaufsicht, die Finanzwelt, juristisches Know-how und Selbstmarketing sind einige der wichtigsten Inhalte, die von Trainerinnen und Trainern vermittelt werden, die weitgehend selbst Aufsichtsratspositionen besetzen.

Seit 2010 gab es drei Lehrgänge mit 40 Absolventinnen. „Als Frauenlandesrätin geht es mir hier um Chancengleichheit. Weil ich eine regionalpolitische Verantwortung habe – und es wissenschaftlich bewiesen ist, dass Unternehmen mit gemischten Teams wirtschaftlich erfolgreicher sind“, betont Doris Hummer.

WKOÖ-Vizepräsidentin Mag.a Angelika Sery-Froschauer meinte dazu: „Derzeit werden nur 14,3 Prozent der 2.525 Aufsichtsratsposten in OÖ von Frauen besetzt. Diese Zahlen zeigen uns, dass Frauen nach wie vor in wichtigen Entscheidungsgremien unterrepräsentiert sind. Deshalb ist es wichtig, Frauen zu ermutigen im richtigen Moment ‚Ja‘ zu sagen und Karriereangebote anzunehmen. Es gibt eine Vielzahl erfolgreicher Frauen, die für Top-Positionen in der Wirtschaft in Frage kommen.“

Zur Stärkung der Frauennetzwerke in Oberösterreich luden das Frauenreferat des Landes Oberösterreich und die Wirtschaftskammer Oberösterreich zu einem gemeinsamen Sommer Cocktail bei der LIMAK Austrian Business School. Bereits dreimal führte diese gemeinsam mit dem Frauenreferat Oberösterreich auf Initiative der Frauenlandesrätin Mag.a Doris Hummer einen eigenen Lehrgang für „Frauen in Aufsichtsräten“ durch. Auch die Wirtschaftskammer Oberösterreich fördert mit einem Kompakt-Workshop Frauen in Aufsichtsräten.

Geballte Frauenpower an der LIMAK

Bei schönem Wetter nutzen die 60 Damen die Zeit für ausgiebiges Netzwerken im Park des Bergschlößls in Linz. Geladen waren neben den Absolventinnen der Lehrgänge „Frauen in Aufsichtsräten“ des Landes Oberösterreich und des Workshops „Aufsichtsratskompetenz Kompakt“ der Wirtschaftskammer Oberösterreich, auch Funktionärinnen der Wirtschaftskammer und Unternehmerinnen.

In jeweils 15 minütigen Impulsreferaten gaben die Vortragenden viel Stoff für weitere Diskussionen:

• Christine Hödlmayr-Gammer sprach über ihre Erfahrungen als Unternehmerin und Aufsichtsrätin.
• Dr. Josef Fritz ist Geschäftsführender Gesellschafter der Board Search GmbH und unterstützt Unternehmen bei der Suche nach Aufsichtsrät/innen. Er sprach über die gegenwärtige Professionalisierung des Aufsichtsratsgremiums.
• Dr.in Ingeborg Rauchberger gab schließlich einen amüsanten Einblick in die Kommunikationsformen der männlich dominierten Welt der Aufsichtsräte.

I just got paid $6784 working on my laptop using these simple steps leaked on this web page. Make up to $85 per hour doing simple tasks that are so easy to do that you won't forgive yourself if you don't check it out! Payments are paid every Friday! Here is what I've been doing Rich45.ℂOM

58 is my kinda girl. Beautiful and fit and Ohhhhh those hips!

Most of these women are my kinda girls.

A couple of things…. First I would definitely follow in the footsteps of the kitty in #17, next I would Zip on over and help #40 with her purchase, and finally I would probably finish myself off …. *sighs* Forever alone

Oh and #30 sweet googily moogily who is she? I can ssee she's some kind fo public person but I'll be damned if I can figure out who she is

That would be Jill Tuck.

Consider the visible claw marks and the single anterior lobe on the interdigital pad.

#39, #50 wow stunning

#40 would love to unzip this tight dress

All I could think was, "Waaaaaait for it!"

They took the picture just a few seconds too soon.

Would be pretty damn hot if she wasn't bending down so awkwardly. Looks like she's holding in a shit, kind of detracts from the sexiness for me.

#51 double points for not wearing a bra

#53 is Jenni Lee. Very NSFW. Not that I would know, but I heard she is amazingly hot in her movies.

Indeed…I heard that too.

#3 dafuq? get your eyes check bro XD the rest of your picks are well enough LOL

Model and designer Lina Posada.. Oh yeah!

i second that, that girl needs to eat. skinny is one thing, she is full unhealthy now.

The amount of visible ribs is TOO DAMN HIGH

I bet even your fat ass can see your ribs in that position. Idiots.

You are correct sir.

Dude she is damaged goods. I mean Bieber for god sake

And, she can't drop a couple of hundred (assuming she has no health insurance) at a dermatologist and have that nasty-ass mole hacked off her tit. WTF?

To bad for you she is a lesbian

Amen. Who is she?

sarina valentina nsfw

#5 #7 #18 #40 The only thing better would be seeing the dresses crumpled on the floor at their feet. Damn, ladies!

#18 looks like victoria rae black. NSFW but best T in the bizz…

I am most certainly not VRB, thankfully.

#4 great, #40 oh my ……, #47 find the right one now, #55 so so so cute

Yes it is. Eva Green

#8 appears to be "Amiee" from a photographer by the name of Carl Docksteader. All his "female form" work looks stellar! My hats off to him …..

Here is a link to the other photos of "Amiee" on the photographer's site.

Check your farts for queefs, dude.

#46 is jessica burciaga, former playboy model
