Whether you’ve got a wedding to attend in the coming months or have another formal occasion in the books, when something calls for “cocktail attire,” finding the right summer cocktail dress can be a task you’d rather save for someone else.

However, once you’ve learned the official dos and don’ts of the vague dress code, finding an appropriate dress is simple. After all, we know you’d rather be spending that time sipping margaritas and mojitos rather than searching for what you’re going to wear.

The main rules of cocktail dressing are to keep your dress between the mini and midi length and avoid anything that’s too revealing. Combine these two, and you’ll have a stunning look that’ll turn heads while also keeping you within the dress code.

Ready to start shopping for your next summer soirée? We rounded up our favorite cocktail dresses so you don’t have to. Check them out now.

In these dresses, we guarantee you'll enjoy those warm summer evenings and feel ultra chic doing it, too.
