what color combination is better for an evening/cocktail style dress? red and white, or black and white? why?
Black and white is timeless and classic, as long as it’s not overly done. You can end up looking like a prisoner. On the other hand, with red and white you’re probably going to look like a candy cane. My suggestion: Stick with solid black, red, or white and accent with gold, silver, copper, etc.

I saw black and white because of the "little black dress" myth (or is it fact). My favorite color is red, but I think the combo of red and white reminds me a little too much of the Canadian flag. Best of luck.

There are too many variables to make a decision.
Black and white can be very dramatic. It also suggests class and style.
Red and white combinations are probably thought to be more casual, friendly, open, and exude sexual confidence.
So it depends on your coloring, the occassion, and what image you wish to project about yourself.

Black & white is fab, especially if you have black hair.

it depends on what your going for and how much color is in the dress. if its a red dress w/ white accents or black w/white, also depends on the style of the dress. if it has an empire waist i would wear red, but a more natural waist maybe black, depends on length too. there are so many different cocktail dresses that you could probably find one to suit your needs. also depends on which colors look best on you. every dress looks different on different people, find the one you like and rock it!!!
