The holidays are officially in full swing, and while you’ve got plenty of items on your holiday checklist, for many people, the most important thing is what they’ll wear to all the events they attend. While you may have some shopping to do for new dresses this year, you can add a few to your list to Santa. Keep reading for all the dress styles you need this holiday season to celebrate in style.
Sequined Mini
The holiday season is the one time of year when you can dress head-to-toe in bling and sequins, and nobody will bat an eye. Ring in the New Year with a sparkle in a sequined mini-dress. Whether you go strapless or thin spaghetti strap, a sequined mini is a must-have and pairs perfectly with metallic heels and a glass of champagne.
Velvet Maxi Dress
Velvet fabric has been having a moment in the fashion scene for a couple of years now and doesn’t seem to be going anywhere. Whether going to a Christmas party or a celebratory dinner with a loved one, elevate your aesthetic with a tight-fitting velvet maxi dress. Velvet is a heavier material, so dark colors like deep green, burgundy, or black look best. Top your look off with some silver wedges for a Y2K look.
Ruffled Sleeves
If you’re a girl who likes to go big or go home, take advantage of the trend of ruffled sleeves this year. A smocked chest dress with ruffled sleeves can make a beautiful statement, whether printed or solid. With the oversized look of a ruffle sleeve, you’ll want to make sure you rock this trend with a shorter-length dress. Consider your height and determine if you need women’s petite dresses or standard. The whimsy of the ruffled sleeves goes hand-in-hand with the magic of the holiday season.
Pretty Pearls
Aside from sequins, pearls are another embellishment with which you can have a lot of fun. You’ve probably seen pearls on footwear this year, from cowboy boots to heels worn by brides. Pearls symbolize wisdom and good things to come, which we all want to bring into the new year. You can go with a long dress or short, all-over pearls or subtle detailing with them, but this is a beautiful trend with Bridgerton vibes. And, of course, the whiteness of pearls compliments the snowy weather during the holidays.
Metallic Fringe
The holidays are all about celebrating, and depending on how fitted your dresses are, you may not want to partake in some of the delicious food at the events you attend. The metallic fringe dress, with its movement, and the body of the fringe, are very forgiving while keeping you on trend and looking amazing. This is a great style to wear in a midi or maxi length with a pair of black heels. The great thing about a metallic fringe dress, whether gold or silver, is it is one-and-done, and you don’t need to worry about jewelry.
Silk Midis
With everything Y2K still in trend, the silk midi, and maxi dresses we’ve been wearing all summer work this holiday season beautifully. Whether you have a cocktail party or heading to just a girl’s night out in your hometown, a blue or champagne-colored silk midi dress is the way to go. These slip dresses are simple on their own, so adding a big gold cuff and a pair of fun heels brings your look full circle.
Leather Dresses
Perhaps the most versatile dress style for the winter months is the black leather dress. Leather is an iconic material, but everything leather is in trend now. Black leather mini dresses and even midi styles cinched at the waist look incredible. Ring in the holidays with a powerful vibe by wearing black leather. You can even dress these outfits down with a pair of white sneakers and still win best dressed.
While it feels great to wear light floral dresses during the summer, making stunning fashion statements in the winter and during the holiday season puts everyone in merry spirits. Take the guesswork out of this one part of the holidays by splurging on a few of the Styles mentioned above and ask Santa for the rest!
