Semi formal doesn’t mean complicated, it simply means polished without being over the top. That’s exactly what you’ll find in our collection of semi formal dresses. Each piece is designed to give you that effortless “put-together” look while still feeling comfortable enough to enjoy the night.

Think about the moments you actually need a dress like this: a friend’s wedding where the invite says “cocktail attire,” a school dance, a holiday dinner with family, or even a work party where you want to look chic but not too formal. These are the kinds of occasions where a semi formal dress shines.

Our selection covers all the bases, from semi formal cocktail dresses you can wear straight from happy hour to an evening out, to semi formal wedding guest dresses that feel special but not overdone. You’ll see airy chiffon midis, flattering A-line gowns, sleek wrap styles, and even a touch of sparkle with sequins or lace if you want a little extra glamour.

Not sure where to start? A midi-length dress is always a safe bet. It’s elegant enough for most events and easy to dress up or down—heels and statement earrings for night, or flats and a soft shawl for day.

And because style isn’t one-size-fits-all, we’ve made sure to include petite and plus size semi formal dresses in silhouettes that flatter every body type. Empire waists, wrap cuts, and flowy skirts are just a few of the details that make these dresses feel comfortable, flattering, and easy to love.
