5 Cocktail Hour Dress Codes We’re Trying On Our Next Holiday

Unsure what to wear in the evening when you’re on holidays? Glean some inspiration from these breezy but polished looks …

Little and large polka dots

We love a print clash, but those who struggle with combining multiple patterns will favour this hack: choose the same print in different sizes for a more streamlined look. 

A pleated dress with flip flops

That ‘dressy’ dress you bought for a summer occasion? You can absolutely wear it on holidays: the key is in the styling. Dress it down by teaming it with flip flops and add a softly structured or slightly oversized bag as a final flourish.

Nightwear as cocktail attire

Underwear as outerwear has never been bigger than it is this season. Let the fashion crowd’s obsession with bloomer shorts, lace-trim dresses and sleek camisoles influence what you wear for an evening tipple.

Earthy-toned linens

Alongside the prerequisite linen trousers for daywear, we’re making space for linen dresses in organic shades like tan and khaki. This mini dress by & Other Stories is a chic case in point.

Bodice silhouettes

When it comes to excellent summer dresses, the silhouette of the season has to be a smocked bodice shape. Even better if it comes with an interesting sleeve and in a sunshine-ready white shade. Add statement earrings and a leather sandal to jazz it up for eveningtime.
