Bored of the same celebration looks? The holidays are here and if you’re
scrambling to find a perfect party outfit, we’ve got your back. From classic season’s red,
to trendy tartan, to shimmering sparkles, here are some choices that can elevate your
wardrobe, while sticking to tried and true holiday codes. Pick a mood, get the looks.
With Ralph Lauren Christmas on everyone’s Pinterest boards this season, tried
and true tartan has been an undeniable trend. From cherry red to blackswatch green
and blue, the iconic print is everywhere this season. Combine this heritage pattern with
shorter silhouettes to create a juxtaposition between tradition and flirty. Another option is
to go with a vintage-inspired silhouette, timeless for all occasions. Whether reinterpreted
in an old fashioned or contemporary way, this festive plaid print is back and better than
ever.
Red is a no brainer for those looking to lean into the holiday celebrations with a statement. From figure hugging gowns to bow appliqué house dresses, these scarlet pieces are bound to make you a knockout at any holiday function. Try a current popular silhouette like the drop waist or play into holiday themes with bold accents like red-trimmed fur. Whether you prefer short and sweet or long and sultry, we’ve got the perfect head turner for any occasion.
Picking an outfit in a wine colored shade is the perfect way to bridge dark tones with the chic nuance of deep red. A merlot or pinot brings out the romantic and mysterious qualities of the season. Perfect for a cocktail get together, these sophisticated choices will bring drama and intrigue. Play dress up in luxurious velvet or dark sequins at your next yuletide soirée.
I’m dreaming of a white… deep V-back with a soft bow cute dress. Who said that we can’t wear white after Labor Day? Slip into one of these ivory, cream, or pale snow numbers to channel powdery snowy slopes. Sometimes understated elegance stands out in a crowd. From capes to sweater dresses to mini cocktail gowns, there are so many ways to make the color of 2026 a winning choice this winter.
New year? New dress. Pick out a pretty piece to help ring in the new year. Some like to go for the gold. Or silver. Or anything sparkly. After all, it seems that sequins and glitter are go-tos every year. Here are some party picks to match your sparkling gold glass of champagne or the glittering silver disco ball. Dance away until the clock strikes midnight in one of these metallic modes.
While everyone turns to red colored outfits this time of year, majestic emerald green is an often overlooked color. The color green is supposed to bring luck and we think these pieces will definitely bring you it. From a Norma Kamali strapless gown to a sparkling tie waist mini sequins dress from Hobbs London, these picks infuse a sense of rebellion against the norm.
They say no one can go wrong with a little black dress. Whether they utilize taffeta, bows, or see-through jerseys to spice things up, these LBDs demonstrate how the tried and true classic can be reinvented and re-worn as a staple for holidays to come.
Do you have the Nutcracker soundtrack on repeat? Are you secretly obsessed with the pink ribbons and organza tutus world of ballet? Find your inner Sugar Plum Queen in these fearlessly rose colored ensembles. With these dresses, it definetly feels like we’ve entered the land of sweets.
