How to Pick a Party Dress

Picking the right party dress for an event can be fun, but there are all sorts of short party dress style choices available. With events ranging from birthday parties to prom to work parties to date nights, it’s easy to wonder what kind of party dress you should choose for each. No need to scratch your head over creative dress codes. Simply keep a few versatile party dresses in your closet, and you’ll be set for any occasion! Here are the top three types of party dresses that look great at a variety of events:

1. Teen Party Dresses: Teen dresses are youthful styles with on-trend details. Fun and flirty or sleek and captivating, teenage party dresses come in a variety of styles for every event on the social calendar. There are casual teen party dresses that are great for birthday parties or after prom parties, modest designs for graduation or bar mitzvah ceremonies, and semi-formal styles for sweet 16’s and homecoming dances. Depending upon the event, add accessories to kick up the wow factor for an unforgettable look.

2. Work Party Dresses: Work party dresses are fun for socializing with coworkers after hours, but they are also business appropriate so that you can maintain a professional vibe from day to night. Nailing a business casual look is easy when you choose a knee-length lace cocktail dress or a simple a-line party dress with a high neckline. For business formal attire for dinner or holiday parties, you want to appear professional, but with a stylish spin on your look. A classic knee-length red lace party dress is beautiful for a work holiday party, while a long-sleeve wrap party dress is figure-flattering and totally appropriate for a night time business dinner. Of course, you can’t go wrong with a black dress, the classic day-to-night style that takes you from work to an evening function with ease. When choosing a dress for work-related parties, be sure that the cut of the dress doesn’t reveal too much. You may look fabulous in a sexy plunging v-neckline or a mini skirt, but it’s best to stick to a modest style to ease your stress when making small talk with the boss, coworkers, or clients.

3. Sexy Party Dresses: A sexy party dress is one that enhances confidence, leaving you feeling bold and feminine. From curve-hugging silhouettes to statement backs, there are so many sultry design features that can make a party dress sexy. Decide which features give your confidence a boost, then pick your favorite styles. There are sleek bodycon club dresses, as well as backless short party dresses for bachelorette parties. Dazzling short sequin dresses and red hot mini party dresses for date nights or dinner parties. When your event calls for a captivating, confidence-inspiring look, you’ll want to step into a sexy party dress.

Whether you want to accent a favorite feature, feel empowered, or be comfortable in your own skin, if you’ve got the confidence, we have the party dress. From casual to formal events, this collection has the ideal party dress for you in the finest fabrics, colors, and up-to-the-minute styles. When it’s time to party, it’s time to shop PromGirl.
