In years past, November and December calendars would be chock-full of holiday parties, office gatherings, and black-tie events. We’d get dressed up in our finest party dresses and sleek suits, sometimes even taking our packed calendars for granted. This year parties are ramping back up, and it’s hard to believe we ever could have wanted to skip an event. And since the many gatherings among friends and family have been sorely missed, getting into the joyful spirit of the holidays calls for a cheerful holiday dress, no matter your plans.
Clothes can be an instant mood booster, and sparkly, silky, and velvety holiday dresses have the power to weave excitement into already exciting occasions. While holiday dressing will always have some semblance of glitz and glamour, this year’s ideal outfits are a bit more wearable than in years past. Think longer hemlines and easy silhouettes that make for comfortable yet polished (and fun!) companions while celebrating with friends, coworkers, and family. From velvet and satin fabrics to joyous patterns and touches of diamanté, the offerings on the market are plenty festive.
Here, 16 holiday dresses to consider now.
