Best Holiday Party Dresses and How to Style Them

The holidays are full of friend and family gatherings—whether you’re prepping for a big family dinner, a holiday party for work, or a while elephant gift exchange with friends, one of the best parts of prepping for a get together is deciding what fun, holiday party dresses or outfits you can wear. So when deciding what to wear for the holidays, flaunt what you’ve got and have fun with it!

If you find yourself wondering what to wear to a Christmas party or family get together, look no further. No matter what events you have on your calendar this year, you can’t go wrong by incorporating modest clothing into your holiday ensembles.

Fancy Yet Subtle

Deep purples are just the ticket for standing out without being the center of attention. It’s a beautiful color to incorporate into your wardrobe this time of year, and will quickly become one of your favorite go-tos. Our A-Line Tulle Dress is all the rage. With a flattering yet comfortable cut and modest length, this holiday party dress follows the embroidery craze while going a step further to make it elegant. Add your favorite pumps and you’re sure to impress.

On the other hand, there is something so timeless about black and white during the holidays. You can’t go wrong with this elegant, black and white dress! Fitted and featuring an incredibly flattering silhouette, you’ll quickly find that this is your new go-to holiday party dress for your fancy holiday parties. Put some curls in your hair, pair it with those bold red heels and some gold jewelry and you’re ready to go!

Classy Yet Comfy

What goes great with turkey? Mustard. Our dress in floral mustard gives the perfect burst of color to blend in nicely with the fall decorations. If you’re looking for something to help you dress up while still staying comfortable, this is the dress for you. You can easily wear it all day, maintaining a sense of ease while still looking absolutely fabulous. Show off that figure with this slimming waistline that flows without clinging.

If your gathering is more casual, then a pair of wide leg pants might be just the ticket. Wide legs are trending, and a high waist will hide the after-feast bulge. These mustard-colored pants are a holiday favorite, and are easily paired with a comfy sweater or fancy blouse for an easy holiday look. Add a jean jacket and mid-ankle booties to any outfit for added fall style and you’re good to go!

Christmas Style

With Christmas right around the corner, it’s time to start planning those perfect party outfits. A pop of color is the fad this Holiday season, the perfect thing to consider when looking for a Christmas party dress. Iconic red and green Christmas colors can add a Holiday twist to just about any outfit.

Nothing says Christmas more than red. You can’t go wrong in a sleek red holiday party dress. We love this bold red dress because it is so easy to style up or down, depending on where you’re going. Make it casual with sneakers, or go fancy by throwing on a belt and some gold jewelry. Don’t forget to break out those swanky red heels you’ve been saving. They can easily transform any outfit into a holiday classic with this go-to color.

Garnished With Green

We can’t touch on classic holiday hues without talking about the color green! Varied and subdued are the green themes to go for this holiday season, and the perfect color to incorporate into your Christmas party outfit ideas. It’s easy to throw a sage tote over your shoulder, or add a pistachio scarf to your neck to accessorize any warm sweater dress. Warm up with green layers—wearing a simple outfit with an olive cardigan or pea-green corduroy jacket is an easy way to add some subtle yet elegant holiday flare.

Classic Velvet

We are seriously loving all the velvet pieces coming into style, and what better way to incorporate this elegant fabric than during the holidays? This cream-colored velvet bell-sleeve dress is the perfect holiday party dress for that swanky event you have on your calendar. Pair it with some heels and use this as an opportunity to apply some classic red lipstick. Put all of the night’s necessities in a clutch and you’re ready to celebrate!
