What to Wear with a Cocktail Dress: 5 Coats and Wraps for your Winter Party Dress Let’s talk about what to wear over a cocktail dress. Fall weddings are a big thing, of course, and soon we’ll be attending holiday parties! (I know, it’s hard to believe.) For this post, I’m going to be addressing coats and wraps that you intend to take off at your event. Toppers to wear with a cocktail dress are a whole different topic because they really have to go with the dress you’re wearing. Coats/jackets/wraps that you will remove when you get to your event give you a little more leeway, but you still want to look appropriate for the formality of the event.
