If you don’t feel like experimenting, wear the simplest combination of a cocktail dress and sky-high heels, but make sure you choose a statement dress that will pop out. Although black is always a good choice, avoid wearing your LBD – cocktail parties can be kind of stuffy, so why not brighten them up with a pop of color?
