Best Cocktail Dresses
Photographer: Claudia Knoepfel and Stefan Indlekofer Stylist: Patrick Mackie

It’s always cocktail hour somewhere, which is to say, it’s time to get your outfit together. And the look of the moment is short and glammy, with a certain alt-rock sensibility inspired by the ’90s. Yes, that seemingly not-so-long-ago decade whose white sneakers and baggy jeans have already re-infiltrated our day wardrobes has now made its way back into evening-wear, rendering over-the-knee socks and slip dresses layered over clingy knits cool again. Wear them with sleek ankle boots and stacks of minimalist jewelry—and don’t look back.
