It's cloudy. It's windy. There's a tornado. It's a hundred degrees and humid. What a perfect day for a cocktail party. My Fashion Goddess Rule # 23 is -- fancy shalt not outweigh comfort. Make sure you own or invest in a solid selection of cocktail dresses for every climate.
Cloudy/Overcast
If you feel pretty confident it's not going to rain, go with a sunny color or cheery pattern. Photographers and film directors actually prefer cloudy and overcast weather because the lighting is more flattering for all skin tones and types. You'll want to capitalize on this. Night Moves' cocktails dresses are vivacious.
Rainy
I cannot stress this enough: if rain is in the weather forecast on the night of your event, wear black. If you wear white it will be ruined and if you wear a color, you will risk the dye bleeding all over everything.
Hot & Humid
When it's hot and humid, you'll only be comfortable in next to nothing. Whatever you wear should be strapless, short, and lightweight. It should be uncomplicated, easy to get into, and easy to get out of.
Don't make the mistake of wearing something elaborate. Sequins are out. And so are lots of jewels. These accessories, though gorgeous, will feel like a coat of armor in hot and humid weather.
