I'm female looking to meet men, and I am going to attend a singles holiday party in a pub sponsored by an online dating service and the dress is "cocktail casual." Describe what that means to you.

Cocktail casual usually means dressy casual, a nice outfit, not too formal or too casual. No long gowns, and no jeans. It's a fun and flirty look. When in doubt, it's better to be slightly overdressed than underdressed.
A knee, or slightly above the knee, dress. A knee, or slightly above the knee, skirt and blouse. Pants with a dressy top.
Since it is a holiday party for singles, I would stay away from the little black dress, which many women will be wearing. You want to stand out from the crowd, and get noticed in whatever colors and styles complement you the best.

Lacy camisole with a nice jacket(slim lined as you do not want it to compete with the wide leg) and a pair of wide leg dress pants of a slinky material. When you walk, the pants will flow, looking feminine without the billowy dress. If it is at night, black pants and jacket and the camisole should be maybe a red, or a deep burgundy. Shoes? Your choice since you could wear boots or heels with the pants. Not too dressed up, but it will look nice. The lacy camisole just peeking out of the jacket will give you the feminine look without looking trashy and will certainly attract attention. Have fun!

if you watch "girlfriends" they are always dressing cocktail casual. Nice lacey top, slacks and some heels you can also wear jeans but dress it up with like a gold chain belt. Have fun and I hope you find someone nice.

positioned on the black pantyhose and the closed-toe footwear. I are conscious of that is a social gathering, yet this theory is a mistake. each and anybody interior the place of work continuously recollects the the guy who had to a lot to drink or the guy who threw up interior the timber. If this somewhat is a conservative crowd, i imagine you replied your human being question with techniques from which include this, then you truly might want to gown slightly more advantageous buttoned down. in case you opt for to positioned on the stockings and the open toed footwear, then discover some guy to have dinner with the subsequent day.
