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.

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.

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.

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.
