Holiday party season is almost here, and the hardest part is often figuring out what to wear. Is it dressy? Casual? Somewhere in between? Here are five easy outfit ideas that cover almost every party on your calendar, from the office get-together to New Year's Eve.
1. The New Year's Eve showstopper
Best for: New Year's Eve, cocktail parties, a night out
When the invitation says "dress up," go for sparkle. Our Sky Blue Sequin Backless Mini Dress has a fitted cut, delicate straps and an open back that's made for photos at midnight. Add pearl gold hoops and let the dress do the rest.
2. The formal party or holiday gala
Best for: formal company parties, galas, winter weddings
For something more elegant, the Backless Halter Ruched Bodycon Maxi Dress has a halter neckline, flattering ruching and a floor-length mermaid hem. Keep jewelry simple with thick brushed gold hoops, and throw our plaid lapel coat over it to stay warm on the way in.
3. The little black dress
Best for: office parties, dinner parties, when you're not sure how dressy it is
You can't go wrong with a little black dress. Our Deep V-Neck A-Line Mini Dress has a flattering high waist and comes in sizes S–3XL. Dress it up with heels and gold jewelry, or dress it down with tights, boots and a camel jacket.
4. Sparkle and denim
Best for: casual get-togethers, ugly sweater parties, girls' night
Not a dress person? A sparkly top with great jeans is just as festive. Pair our Black Sequin Dolman Sleeve Knit Top with Judy Blue wide leg jeans in bone and boots. It's comfy enough to wear all night and still feels dressed up.
5. Cozy and casual
Best for: family gatherings, Christmas morning, low-key nights in
Some holiday parties are all about comfort. Try a chunky cable-knit sweater with jeans and our fuzzy-lined slip-on clogs. For Christmas morning, our Santa bamboo pajama set is soft, festive and made for photos by the tree.
Don't forget the gifts
Heading to a party with a gift exchange? Our Cozy Gifts collection has easy picks like faux fur knit slippers, spa gift boxes and plush throw blankets. For stocking stuffers, check out our beanies, claw clips and dainty jewelry.
