Hidden Cocktail Gems That Are Often Overlooked

 

Glamorous cocktail dresses come in all sorts of styles. However, when it comes to wedding guest attire, there are a few rules to follow. While we love all the shine we can get, some weddings call for something a bit more subtle. But just because you’re turning down the sparkle, doesn’t mean you can’t come across other spectacular hidden gems.

 

Our particular favorite is the VALENTINO Black Crystal Chain Minidress. Easy to style and versatile for seasons to come, this dress can be worn over and over again. Similarly, the CHIARA BONI LA PETITE ROBE Madama Off-Shoulder Draped Midi Dress is another wonderful, more subtle cocktail dress. This one is especially great for those looking for a more elegant, chic ensemble. Regardless of your go-to taste, these two glamorous cocktail dresses are worth taking out.
