Dressing for casual parties held in backyards or at rooftop bars can be difficult. Nail the dress code with one of our long sleeve mini dresses. Easily styled up or down with footwear, this dress is a wardrobe essential. Opt for metallic finishes for something more statement-making, or choose classic black for a classic appeal. Layer this style of party dress with a faux leather jacket or shearling coat and you're ready for any outdoor gathering whether it's with family or friends. 

Whether it's for the festive season, someone's anniversary, or 'just because', a cocktail party usually calls for an elevated look. Guests at cocktail parties or formal dinner parties usually opt for dresses or suiting. Try our sleek bodycon dresses with corsage detailing for a trending edge. Stick with chic black for a vintage glam appeal or opt for a bright colour if you want to make a bold impact. Team with strappy heels and an elegant updo for a complete look that will wow both guests and your hosts, alike. 

Deciding what to wear to your own birthday party can be daunting, you want to make a grand entrance, you want to feel confident and comfortable, and you usually want to elevate your look so it is differentiated from your everyday style. We suggest party dresses or maxi dresses in a signature Forever New floral print. Exclusively designed by our expert team in Melbourne, Australia, these prints will help you make a statement. Feminine, unique, and flattering to many age groups, our floral dresses will help you enjoy your special night. 

A workplace function or dinner calls for a sophisticated outfit that strikes the balance between cocktail attire and party dress. We love a luxe knit or bodycon dress with a simple yet fitted silhouette. Choosing a midi dress with long sleeves can offer more coverage, perfect for workplaces that observe a stricter, more corporate dress code. For something more floaty and feminine, a classic wrap dress is always a great option. Style your outfit with statement jewellery or embellished heels and you're ready for the best dressed list.
