Add a lucky shade to your dressed-to-the-nines wardrobe with these green cocktail dresses. Flirty skaters, demure shifts and standout maxis dominate this vibrant collection. Now will it be emerald, olive or mint?
Make a statement with green cocktail dresses
If you’re planning on catching a special someone's eye, fitted cocktail dresses in green are the way to go. Layer a micro bandeau top in a busy pattern over the top to add extra interest to your look and pair with chunky wooden sandals for modern boho vibes. Styles with pleated skirts do retro with ease. Just add kitten heels and a cropped cardigan for a vintage Hollywood aesthetic. Or take on the trend for ruffles in a dress with flutter or flute sleeves - perfect for engagements or big birthdays - and add embroidered mules to hit another trend. Beaded dresses bring effortless glamour to black-tie events. Go maximalist with glitter-embellished heels or pare the look back with glossy nude courts.
Green cocktail dresses: made for bridesmaids
Whether you’re coordinating your squad for the ceremony or letting them loose to experiment with a varying colour palette, cocktail dresses in green will have all your bridesmaids looking picture perfect. Dramatic long lengths are ideal for following your big entrance down the aisle - choose dresses with full tulle skirts for maximum impact. The soft hues in this selection are ideal for a spring wedding; these lighter tones are especially great for toning down the sultriness of a femme-fatale shape like an off-the-shoulder green cocktail dress. Keep the accessories to a minimum - pearl earrings and a delicate posey of marigolds are an apt choice - and add a blush pink lipstick and block heels for a feminine flourish.
