When did white start going out of style? It's my personal belief that it's because women think white makes them look fat. White is a fabulous color that looks great on all women. It's ridiculous. White cocktail dresses look amazing. They do not make anyone look fat. Check out Kim Kardashian on the red carpet. Does she look fat? And they look even better with the right accessories and shoes.

White has many different meanings, most people associate white with purity. White also means light, clean and energy. Aside from all of that, white is just plain stunning and elegant. It's disappointing that more women don't wear white cocktail dresses.

A cocktail dress is usually at or above the knee, but sometimes it can include longer dresses. They're worn to Christmas parties, weddings, proms, homecoming, cocktail parties, fancy restaurants and, of course, The Red Carpet. A white cocktail dress would stand out amongst the trendy red and black dresses, however, it's inappropriate to wear a white dress to most weddings. Some weddings the brides, bridesmaids and grooms are all in color, therefore, white is perfectly fine. Be sure to check with the bride to be sure wearing white is appropriate.

The hottest styles of dress right now are the one shoulder dress. They're showing up everywhere, but that doesn't mean they'll be hot a year from now. If you're interested in wearing a dress that's really fashionable, it's best to search for the hottest trends by recent Hollywood events. While many people think it's celebrities that develop trends, it's actually the designers for the stars that create the trends. People become aware of the trends because celebrities are photographed so often. Another great place to find trends is by perusing fashion magazines. These dresses in both of these categories are out of reach for most women, however, one of my favorite sites, Edressme.com, recreates more affordable styles of the same dress. If you're looking for a style you saw recently on the red carpet, Edressme.com is the website you'll want to visit.

A white cocktail dress doesn't have to be starkly white, although that's quite beautiful. White has many shades; including off-white, cream and ivory. Every shade is beautiful and perfect for any formal affair that one might need one. Doesn't anyone love the famous annual Hollywood White Party? That party is one of my favorites of the year. All the stars decked out in their cocktail party clothes and all of them wearing white. It's a beautiful thing to see. There isn't any pink or purple parties (though there should be!). White is chosen because of its purity, its contrast and its elegance.

For prom and homecoming, any number of white cocktail dresses will be gorgeous. Something short and sweet with a flare skirt in either silk or satin is a popular choice. If you want to be a little different, try a chiffon dress with a halter neck. Halter neck styles don't seem to ever go out of style, much like sweetheart necklines. The babydoll dress can look really pretty or really babyish (pun intended). It all depends on the style of the dress. Be sure to get a few opinions on whether you're wearing a dress that looks amazing or if in fact you look like you put your nightie on. It's really easy to look like you're wearing nightgowns with white chiffon. Form fitting dresses are another great style for prom, but quite racy. Be careful you don't show too much skin. The object of any dress is to be sexy not tacky, right? Prom is one occasion where a long white cocktail dress might be more to your taste. Those are also available.

Weddings are a tough area to wear a white dress at all. It's really only appropriate if the bride, groom, bridesmaids and groomsmen are not wearing white at all; or if the bride requests their guests to wear white. I'm dying to see the bride that has a white party wedding; i.e. everyone wears white, including the guests! Remember that the wedding day is about the couple getting married and walking into their wedding in a white dress is an insult.

Christmastime is a perfect time for white cocktail dresses. After all isn't Christmas the time of angels in white and silver ornaments? Many people choose not to wear white after Labor Day. Thank goodness that etiquette rule is long passed. Today white is a gorgeous color for a Christmas party. The only problem is choosing a short dress and ending up with two popsicles for legs. To this I say: wear a long coat and get inside fast! =)

White is just too beautiful to relegate to only a few months of the year. It's perfect for all occasions and I hope for your next event, you'll choose a stunning white cocktail dress.
