The invitation says cocktail attire and says nothing about a dress. The Cocktail Outfits collection holds 99 Luna Fashion House pieces for a cocktail invitation: dresses, jumpsuits, blazers, blouses, pants, and knitwear. If you already know you want a dress, the 35 cocktail dresses, $550 to $770, have their own page. Every piece is designed and made in Europe and ships from California.
Choose the outfit, then the coat
- If you prefer pants, start with the 8 jumpsuits, $550 to $695. The Jody Lace Jumpsuit in black, bordeaux, or midnight green ($550) has a lace bodice and wide legs to the floor. The Aria Jumpsuit in Black ($595) has a mesh yoke and cap sleeves.
- Any coat length works over wide legs. Our Iris Short Tailored Coat in Deep Black ($770) ends above the knee and suits the Jody and the Aria alike. For an evening arrival, choose the Lucy Wool Coat in Black ($910), which ends at the knee.
- For a blazer with pants, you can choose from 18 blazers, 14 blouses, and 6 pairs of pants here.
- The 2 coats in this collection are the Emma Light Coat in teal and in silver floral jacquard ($880). Both end at the knee, level with most of our cocktail dresses.
We make the coats as well as the dresses and jumpsuits, and every dress and jumpsuit page names the Luna coat that fits its hem. For the dress code itself, read what cocktail attire means for women, and for pants, cocktail attire with pants for women.
Questions before you choose
What is cocktail attire for women?
Cocktail attire means a dress between the knee and mid calf, a dressy jumpsuit, or a blazer with evening pants. It sits between business dress and black tie. Invitations use it for events that begin in the early evening.
Can I wear pants to a cocktail party?
You can. A jumpsuit to the floor in an evening fabric is correct, and so are tailored pants with a blazer. The Jody Lace Jumpsuit ($550) has a lace bodice. The Aria Jumpsuit ($595) has a mesh yoke and cap sleeves.
What coat goes over a jumpsuit?
Wide legs leave you free to choose any length. The Iris Short Tailored Coat in Deep Black ($770) ends above the knee and closes with a full front zip and a buckled belt. The black Lucy ($910) ends at the knee and has a faux fur collar.
Where are the cocktail dresses?
The 35 cocktail dresses, $550 to $770, have their own page, called cocktail dresses. That page groups them by length and sleeve and pairs each one with a coat. Start there if you have already decided on a dress.
What should I wear to a cocktail party in winter?
Choose a deeper color and a coat that reaches the hem. The Jody Lace Cocktail Dress in bordeaux or midnight green ($550) ends at the knee. The Emma coat in silver or teal floral jacquard ($880) ends at the same height, so nothing shows below it.
How do shipping and returns work?
Orders ship from California within 1 business day. US shipping is free, and transit takes 2 to 5 days. US returns are free within 30 days, so you can try the whole outfit at home first.
