Short dresses come in a variety of flavors. From mini dresses that flirt with your mid-thigh to knee-length dresses that land exactly where you’d expect—yep, the knee—they’re all about showing off a little leg.
Short dresses come in a variety of flavors. From mini dresses that flirt with your mid-thigh to knee-length dresses that land exactly where you’d expect—yep, the knee—they’re all about showing off a little leg. A mini dress really shines at a party, especially something with long sleeves to balance out the skin you're flaunting. That's not a rule though. A strapless mini dress can still be elegant, especially with a chunky necklace and tights. Backless and halter top styles also love a party. And let's not forget the iconic little black dress for cocktails. If it gets chilly just throw on a party-appropriate jacket or blazer. Weddings, proms, and grads are other occasions where short dresses are a right of passage. Whether you’re going for white, black, hot pink, red, or anything in between, find the one your date will never forget. For summer, try soft and breezy materials like satin, silk, and of course linen. Floral patterns are a no-brainer for spring and summer—perfect for garden parties. Lace, eyelets, and ruffles? Yes, please. For fall and winter you'll probably want to opt for a mini sweater dress, something crocheted, or even some in tweed. For the Christmas parties in your calendar a sparkle mini dress or a little something with sequins will put you in the holiday spirit. Velvet can work too, whether its green, red, or classic black. So go on, add a few to cart. It’s practically a public service.
