When Can I Wear a Short Dress?

Short dresses are comfortable and chic for a variety of special occasions. Dance the night away in a cute a-line short dress at a wedding reception, or sip cocktails at a fancy restaurant with friends while wearing a v-neck short formal dress. Strut down to the club dance floor in an alluring cut-out short party dress, or shop the day away with your gal pals while wearing a lace short casual dress. For a look that is sure to enhance your radiance at a holiday celebration, try a jewel-accented short semi-formal dress or a sequined short cocktail party dress. Show off your moves at prom in a fitted curve-hugging dress or a modest short prom dress, depending upon your personal style. A classic little black dress is always just right for a night out on the town. This timeless wardrobe staple is perfect for nearly any occasion and flattering for most body types.

Whether you're attending a formal dance, a wedding, or a casual evening out with friends, you can find the ideal short dress right here. Stand out wearing a unique short print dress, or make heads turn when you walk by in a sexy v-neck short dress. You will be the envy of the party in a sheer-embellished dress, a lace-bodice dress, or an open-back short formal dress. Need something a little less formal? Shop the midi semi-formal dresses, short day-to-night dresses, and casual short dresses for a refreshing day-to-day look. At Simply Dresses, you will find just the right short dress for each occasion and any budget.
