Are you looking for a nice dress for your next cocktail party or even a formal event? If you are bored with all the costumes or sexy dresses that you see everywhere at cocktail parties, you will probably like what I am going to talk about today, the cloak dress, something unique and beautiful. The coolest and most obvious feature of a cape dress is the fact that the cape dress covers your arms without actually having sleeves. To show you how to style it, I have gathered some really nice cape dress outfit ideas and I am going to show you now.
Black cape shift mini dress with strappy heel
A cape dress is something very unique and beautiful in itself. To build a great looking outfit, you don’t have to complicate things at all. Just wear a nice pair of shoes and an optional necklace. As an example, you can wear a black cape shift dress with black strappy heels for a simple yet elegant look.
Navy Cape Sheath Midi Dress
For a slightly more casual look, you may want to choose a pleated shoulder cape dress. For example, here is a dark blue cape midi dress that looks nice and casual. Just pair it with light pink open toe heels to complete the outfit in a feminine way.
White cape shift dress with light pink heels
If you want to look beautiful and stand out at a cocktail party, you can either wear something very sexy and fanciful, or you can wear something refreshing counterintuitively. For example, you can wear a white cape shift mini dress with light pink heels for a feminine and refreshing outfit.
Blush Pink Lace Mermaid Dress
As you have seen from the previous outfits, it is very natural for fashion designers to turn a cape into a mini or knee length cape dress. Having a maxi cape dress isn’t that intuitive, but even so, this particular blushing pink mermaid dress is a rare and beautiful exception. Just pair it with a silver open toe ankle strap to complete the outfit.
Black semi-sheer cape mini dress with V-neck
If you are familiar with cocktail dresses, you should already know that the fabric or texture of the dress makes a huge difference. For example, if you want to look feminine and elegant, a black mini cape dress with a chiffon V-neck is a good choice. Team them with black suede strappy ballerinas for a particularly elegant touch.
Royal blue cold shoulder dress
For those of you who go to cocktail parties a lot, it is much more fun to have a variety of styles rather than sticking to the same black cocktail dress every time, even if the black dress suits you well. Here is a cocktail dress that looks really bright and should create a new style for you. It’s a royal blue cape dress with a cold shoulder. You can simply pair it with white heels to complete this eye-catching outfit.
Navy Deep V Neck Wrap Cape Mini Dress
Here’s a more mature look. At first glance, it is also like wearing a navy suit. It is actually a very classy and elegant navy cape mini dress. You can simply pair it with black open toe heels with ankle straps for a simple and elegant way to complete the outfit.
Red cape shift dress with black ballet heel
Looking minimal or simple doesn’t mean you can’t be eye catching. One way to really shine, among other things, is to wear something light, like this bright red shift dress. You can simply wear it with a pair of black ballet flats and a statement chain to complete this minimalist and attractive look.
Blue mini dress with open strappy heels
Sometimes the subtle difference between a decent outfit and a good outfit is in some subtle details. One detail that you need to pay attention to is how the shoes are combined with the dress. As a good example of wearing the right shoes, a pair of blue strappy sandals is selected to go with a blue mini cape shift dress.
White chiffon pleated maxi dress with silver sequin details
While this pleated white chiffon maxi dress is likely not formal enough to be worn as a formal wedding gown, it should be perfect for wedding photos. The dress has some silver sequin details that make it more elegant and attractive. Simply combine the dress with silver, open toe heels and you can take great photos.
