With the year coming to an end it only means one thing: holiday parties. And with that comes all the chaos (and fun!) of many a glamourous evening. Maybe your month is family reunion-filled and simple, sleek dresses are the M.O. Perhaps you are a creature of the night and need a dazzling look to glimmer in the dark. You may be in a circle where theme parties are on the menu and in need of just the right outfit to match the vibe. Whether day or night, this month will be celebration filled. For any occasion you may find yourself in, there is no doubt that the question on everyone’s mind will be what to wear.
If there is a time to pull out all the stops, a holiday party should be it. The right dress will have you in the festive mood, ready to celebrate the gifts of the past year. Richer materials, bolder colours, embellished fabrics—there is no such thing as too much. Back again to steal the spotlight, sequins are the powerhouse of party dresses. Iridescent and dimensional, the reflective detailing will have you sparkling with joy. Another luminous alternative? Opt for a metallic fabric to take centre stage. Those looking for extravagant yet unconventional detailing should look no further than donning feathers. Feeling confident and want to push the envelope? A shorter dress may be just what the doctor ordered.
The rush of the season and its endless planning may be stressful and a little help when it comes to wardrobe preparation goes a long way. We’ve put together our favourite party dresses, in hopes of making your holiday-induced fashion decisions a little easier.
