Typically,\u00a0they&#8217;re\u00a0mid-length dresses that go down to your knee, although a little longer or shorter is also common. So, you may be wondering if they can be even longer. After all, it\u00a0doesn&#8217;t\u00a0seem practical to wear a cocktail dress to a Broadway play if\u00a0it&#8217;s\u00a0negative four degrees outside, does it?<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">So, can cocktail dresses be long? Well, the short answer is that\u00a0it&#8217;s\u00a0complicated, but\u00a0don&#8217;t\u00a0worry,\u00a0we&#8217;ll\u00a0get into it in more detail below.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 aria-level=\"2\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Understanding Cocktail Dresses<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;335559738&quot;:360,&quot;335559739&quot;:120}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Cocktail dresses are what we call\u00a0<\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">formalish<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0dresses. They technically tend to go down to the knee, although some are also mid-length dresses.\u00a0Ultimately, their\u00a0goal is to blend casual with formal, and this results in a semi-formal vibe\u00a0that&#8217;s\u00a0perfect for a fun night out at a restaurant or bar for cocktails \u2013 hence the name.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Therefore, if you want something in between black tie and jeans, a cocktail dress is a good place to start.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Aside from cocktail dresses being mid-length semi-formal dresses, they also have some other features. Most cocktail dresses are made with high-quality materials, like satin, and the\u00a0colors\u00a0are often powerful and bold.\u00a0What&#8217;s\u00a0more, many cocktail dresses can be paired with\u00a0jewelry\u00a0for even better results.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 aria-level=\"2\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Can Cocktail Dresses Be Long?<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;335559738&quot;:360,&quot;335559739&quot;:120}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Yes and\u00a0no. Ultimately, it\u00a0depends on your definition of long. As in, your cocktail dress should never be ball gown length, but sometimes\u00a0it&#8217;s\u00a0okay to have it go down to your ankles. However, this is usually the longest a cocktail dress can be. If your cocktail dress is any longer, unfortunately, you may find that\u00a0it&#8217;s\u00a0too classy for the event\u00a0you&#8217;re\u00a0attending.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">For these reasons, you need to focus on looking for cocktail dresses that are around the knee for most situations. And if you want to go a little longer,\u00a0it&#8217;s\u00a0okay to go down to your ankle.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 aria-level=\"3\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Can Cocktail Dresses Be Short?<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;335559738&quot;:320,&quot;335559739&quot;:80}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Cocktail dresses also\u00a0shouldn&#8217;t\u00a0be too short.\u00a0There&#8217;s\u00a0a fine line when it comes to cocktail dresses, and that line tends to be right around the knee. For this reason, while they\u00a0shouldn&#8217;t\u00a0be too long, cocktail dresses also\u00a0shouldn&#8217;t\u00a0be too short.\u00a0Essentially, you\u00a0should avoid a dress that\u00a0doesn&#8217;t\u00a0go\u00a0very far\u00a0past your butt.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">A little bit above the knee is fine, sure, but going too short will take it out of cocktail dress territory.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 aria-level=\"2\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Tips for Choosing a Longer Cocktail Dress<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;335559738&quot;:360,&quot;335559739&quot;:120}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">If you plan\u00a0on going\u00a0with a longer cocktail dress, we have a few tips that can help you out.

Unfortunately, the longer the dress, the more it feels less like a cocktail dress and more like a ball gown.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 aria-level=\"3\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Add Length Elsewhere<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;335559738&quot;:320,&quot;335559739&quot;:80}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">If\u00a0it&#8217;s\u00a0the cold\u00a0you\u2019re\u00a0worried about,\u00a0don&#8217;t\u00a0worry, because you have some\u00a0additional\u00a0options. For example, you can always wear a coat over your cocktail dress and remove it when you arrive at your destination. You can also add length to the sleeves or other areas of the dress.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 aria-level=\"3\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Choose the Style and Material<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;335559738&quot;:320,&quot;335559739&quot;:80}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">When shopping for a cocktail dress, and this applies to all of them, you need to choose the right materials. Cocktail dresses should be high in quality, and flashy\u00a0colors\u00a0can help you turn more heads without adding length \u2013 if\u00a0that&#8217;s\u00a0what\u00a0you\u2019re\u00a0going for.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">However, a satin black cocktail dress with some nice\u00a0jewelry\u00a0can make any cocktail dress pop. You can also get even more creative with style, so dress length\u00a0isn&#8217;t\u00a0the most\u00a0important factor\u00a0to consider when choosing a cocktail dress.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 aria-level=\"2\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Can Cocktail Dresses Be Long?

At the end of the day, yes, you can go a little longer than the knee. However,\u00a0it&#8217;s\u00a0important to understand the \u201ca little\u201d part. This is\u00a0due to the fact that\u00a0anything past the feet is\u00a0likely going\u00a0to look more like a ball gown.
