It’s easy to see why this dress is one of SIMKKAHI’s best-sellers; layers of open-weave lace make it a true show-stopper. Designed with a midi length, high scoop neckline, and cap sleeves, it’s a stunning option for events where you want a statement-making look that’s not overly revealing. The texture lets some skin peep through, but the lining won’t show too much.

If you’re looking for a classic addition to your party-wear, this dress is unbeatable. Crafted from a luxe knit, the simple silhouette features a leg-baring mini-length, and a gathered waist accented by a gold-toned ring. The high scoop neckline and short sleeves lend a hit of timeless T-shirt-influence — so while it’ll be right at home at a cocktail party, you can still style it for more casual parties.

Designed with a delicate kitten heel, these sandals will be your go-to party shoe. They add enough height to read as dressy — so you can wear them for evening affairs — and since they’re not sky-high stilettos, they can handle an evening of dancing, or be styled for a daytime event. Crafted from gorgeous leather, with an adjustable ankle strap, these will be a part of your party looks season after season.

The mango yellow color of this stunning strapless number will turn heads, but the hand-gathered drape will have you reaching for it every chance you get.

Shaped like an artichoke, this clutch brings a touch of whimsy to your party look. The gold-toned finish brings in a high-end element — think chic, rather than kitsch. A removable snake chain offers you the option of styling it as a wristlet, so you won’t lose track of it in a crowded room.

One of the many advantages to this midi skirt: Since it’s a separate and not a dress, there are loads of ways to style it. It features an opaque lining that hits mid-thigh, and a sheer organza overlay that extends to the middle of the calf; hand-applied beads and crystals deliver light-catching edge. For a cocktail party, try it with a bandeau and heeled sandal — or with its matching top.
