Why Retro Occasion Dresses Work for Parties?
Unlike modern party dresses, vintage-inspired cocktail dresses have their own retro charm. Here are some reasons why you should pick vintage-looking party wear for your next cocktail party or evening out:
- Vintage-inspired occasion dresses have their unique appeal, as unlike modern fashion pieces, they are not common and are not owned by every second person.
- A vintage-style evening dress commonly comes in designs like flared skirts and waist-defining looks that look flattering on different body types.
- The look of even a simple vintage-inspired party wear dress is enhanced with retro accessories.
- They have timeless glamour for every night event, be it a cocktail party, formal event, or as evening wear.
- Vintage style party wear dresses have flattering fits that help accentuate natural curves with structured bodices and flowing skirts that suit many body types
How can You Make the Right Choice While Choosing a Vintage-Inspired Nightwear or Party Dress?
Here are some tips for you to shop for the right piece at Collectif London for your party:
Pick the right silhouette
Vintage dresses come in different silhouettes. So firstly, make up your mind on the type you desire. Is it a pencil dress or a swing dress? Because swing dresses give drama while if you prefer elegance, a pencil dress would be perfect.
Decide on length
Just below the knee or longer hemlines? What do you prefer? Pick the former one for a youthful, energetic look, while longer hemlines are good for an evening gown feel.
Prints and fabric
For evening parties, you must pick deeper and richer tones in velvet or satin finish. On the contrary, for day parties, novelty or polka prints will deliver fun.
Necklines and sleeves
Go for sweetheart necklines or off shoulder ones with cap or puff sleeves for retro charm.
How can You Style Your Vintage-Inspired Nightwear Perfectly?
You do not need any fancy accessories for styling your retro wear. It’s just about the right balance and detail. If you are wearing a swing dress, a clinched waist belt with pearl jewellery would suit. On the other hand, for an evening gown, pick a structured clutch. Pencil dress looks can be enhanced with retro heels, a satin shawl, and bold lipstick shades. To further accentuate your look, try styling with cat-eye sunglasses or floral hair clips.
If you want to step back in time and love the idea of vintage-inspired party wear, explore the stunning range of Collectif London vintage-looking dresses. Drawing inspiration from classic 40s and 50s-decade silhouettes, the brand’s huge collection has something to flatter every figure. Be it a special occasion, cocktail party, retro-themed party, or vintage-inspired party wear collection, at Collectif London is sure to elevate your look.
