Is a short dress appropriate for a cocktail party?

Yes, short cocktail dresses can work for cocktail events, especially when styled with festive accessories. Pair them with bold heels and a statement coat to stay warm and stylish. Styles with a mini-length may be extra short so try silhouettes like a skater, asymmetrical, or a dress romper if you are concerned with length.
