Wondering what are the latest trends and designs in cocktail dresses? Short, mid thigh cocktail dresses are the most in vogue now.

To look sexy and sophisticated in short cocktail dress, you need to choose a dress that is classic and chic. Since a short cocktail dress allows you to show off your legs, therefore avoid wearing a dress that shows too much cleavage. A dress should always look balanced. So a short dress should ideally have a modest neckline.

One of the best designs in short cocktail dress is the draped mini dress in jewel tones like aubergine, amethyst, emerald green and ruby red.

Look for mini dresses with draping at the shoulders and bust area. Slight embellishment in the form of hand sewn beads and crystals or even sequins is quite trendy. Draped dresses are excellent for camouflaging problem areas like small bust, wide hips or jiggly thighs. A draped dress where the pleats are just over your bust area can make your hips look smaller.

When you want to make a statement, choose a short cocktail dress with origami details. These types of dresses are structured and take inspiration from architecture. Pleats and folds around the bust, shoulders and skirt, makes origami dresses very alluring. One of the best designs in short origami dresses is a bubble dress with petal-like pleats and folds in the skirt. Colors that are in fashion for such dresses are white, turquoise, aubergine and dusty pink.

One of the best designs in short cocktail dress is the tiered Grecian dress. A tiered Grecian dress is mid thigh length with free-flowing ruffles. These dresses are usually made in chiffon and organza and you can choose from a lighter color palette in ivory, mint green and slate gray to a more vibrant color palette of electric blue, emerald green and fuchsia. Choose from one shouldered to strapless Grecian tiered dress for a unique look. Due to the use of ruffles and pleats, a Grecian tiered dress is one of the best petite cocktail dresses.

Summer cocktail dresses with short hemlines are quite fashionable and you should pair them with matching shoes and jewelry. A well-tailored short cocktail dress with a good silhouette will help you look your best at a cocktail party.
