Holiday Party Dresses


Holiday Party Cocktail Dresses


It’s essential for every lady to own a few key pieces that are suitable for special events. The most versatile of these is a cocktail dress that can be worn for every occasion, from weddings to holiday parties. Put simply, a cocktail dress is a knee-length party dress. If it’s a formal evening event, a cocktail dress needs to be well tailored and accessorized with stunning jewellery and a clutch. For a more casual affair, try opting for a loose dress, such as a shift style rather than a tight-fitting design. Then, match your dress with simple yet chic accessories, such as pumps or sandals and a chain-strap bag.

Semi-Formal Holiday Party Cocktail Dresses


A cocktail dress is a very versatile piece that can be suited to many occasions, semi-formal events included. Gorgeous and sleek, this dress type never goes out of style. When it comes to semi-formal holiday parties, opt for a knee-length tailored cocktail dress. Adding accessories like a faux fur, statement earrings or pointed-toe stiletto pumps can give it a semi-formal vibe.

Sexy Holiday Party Dresses


Make a lasting impression this season in a sexy holiday party dress. To nail this look, reveal just the right amount of skin in one area of your body, such as your chest, arms or legs. To ensure you still look chic and sophisticated, we recommend opting for a dress that’s simple yet stylish, such as an off-the-shoulder design. When it comes to selecting a colour, a black or red dress are both classic choices.

Holiday Dinner Party Dresses


Heading out to a dinner party demands an incredible outfit that’s equal parts style and class. So, if you’re looking to create a stylish holiday dinner party outfit, consider opting for a chic evening dress. In particular, a style that finishes just above the knees and shows off your arms is a fantastic option. Also, look out for sophisticated yet playful design details that will enhance your appearance. You can add some personal touches in the form of stylish details, such as very subtle cut-outs, a strapless design or light fringing. When it comes to colour, white and black are best for creating a good impression.

Elegant Holiday Party Dresses


A formal holiday party calls for an elegant dress. While cocktail dresses can be a good option, long dresses tend to be a better choice. Choosing a refined dress that features a simple and feminine silhouette in a dark colour, such as navy blue or black, will help you nail the etiquette of sophistication. Just make sure you select a quality dress with a timeless appeal. An elegant function is no place to wear cheap designs or the latest crazy trends. Instead, stick to classic designs and styles that won’t date.

Formal Holiday Party Dresses


If you have an event that specifies formal attire, you should go for a long gown. A dress that fits well and is made from high-quality material makes a fantastic option for formal holiday parties. Darker colours like black and navy tend to be very flattering and suit all skin tones, making them stunning options for all women. If you choose to wear a dark dress, consider opting for one with exciting details to allow your style to stand out from the crowd. Just make sure that you pair it with sleek accessories for a suitable appearance.

Plus Size Holiday Party Dresses


Today, there are many beautiful plus-sized party dresses for women. Curvy women no longer have to wear weirdly shaped clothing. Instead, they have a number of choices that can enhance and complement their figures. To nail the look, just choose a dress that flatters your shape and shows off your stunning curves, such as those with a cinched waist. After all, the key to a flattering garment comes down to fit, not colour. Also, go for materials with substance and structure; they will provide support and coverage.

Maternity Holiday Party Dresses


Although maternitywear has improved since the days of shapeless muumuus, the offerings for stylish, bump-friendly holiday party attire are still limited. You want to dress in a way that is both comfortable yet still stylish! It’s important during pregnancy to know your body and play to your strengths. For some expectant mothers, an a-line can be a very attractive choice. For others, empire waist designs which accentuate the bust and glide over the stomach can appear especially flattering. Regardless of what you’re wearing, the one party trick you’ll have in your back pocket is a natural glow.
