What to Wear for Every Event on Your Holiday Agenda

There’s so much to do during the holiday season! Our schedules are always packed with social engagements and shopping that we barely have time to think of what to wear at all. However, there’s no need to fret about fashion dilemmas during these festive events. Let these posh parties and holiday gatherings be a way for you to celebrate style!

If your holiday agenda is just as packed as ours, we have five ideas that will surely make you the most fashionable in the room. We’ve rounded up different celebrations and what to wear to each one. From elevated basics to sparkly options, there’s so much more to look forward to in these upcoming events!

Family Matters

Three-piece Pant with Metallic Lace and Long-Line Jacket Set - Petite

Family gatherings have got to be at the top of your list this holiday season. And with this type of event, it’s always great to keep it simple yet stunning. No need to worry about mixing and matching with a three-piece pant set. However, make sure you still stand out with interesting details, like metallic lace. If you’re attending a more sophisticated event, a waist gown with a cape will turn heads. Smaller events require more intimate looks - try a maxi peasant dress. Bring in some color to the winter with a floral print while you’re at it! Not a fan of floral prints? A dotted square neck dress with a smocked waist is the one for you! Finally, don’t forget to accessorize with a pair of gold-plated thick hoops. They’re simple but can elevate any look when worn!

Office gatherings can also be an avenue for you to show off your styling prowess. A timeless color that’s perfect for professional events is blue. A bell sleeve dress is classic evening wear you’d want to wear to a work event. Make it more interesting with a little bit of rhinestone detail at the waist. A knit dress is also a great option to spend the evening in. Don’t forget to add a metallic spice to your look! If you want a more relaxed dress, a midi chiffon dress with rhinestones at the neckline will make you a strong candidate for the evening’s best-dressed. But if dresses aren’t your thing, a ruffled jumpsuit is an easy but gorgeous option! Don’t forget to finish your look by wearing a pair of stud earrings with round and baguette-cut cubic zirconia diamonds.

Date Night Highlight

Carmen Wrap Maxi Dress

Holiday date nights are underrated. These intimate evenings require the most beautiful of dresses and accessories. A maxi wrap dress is a great option for dreamy outings. More sophisticated events need understated looks like a cowl neck dress with a cheetah belt. Nothing beats a body-hugging dress like a wrap-side ruffle dress. Or you can put on a floral maxi dress with a strappy back for a classy but so sexy look. A slit just above the knee will surely add a sultry detail to your look. Finally, highlight that décolletage with a gold necklace.

Finally, we can’t forget about the occasional brunch and dinners between friends. With our conflicting schedules, most of these catch-ups fall during the holiday season. For these end-of-year get-togethers, a midi dress with an elasticated waist, low neckline, and gathered puff sleeves is perfect for brunch. Keep the day easy with a midi dress with a smocked back and wide, low-cut oval neckline. Bring out the wine and cheese with a relaxed V-neck midi dress. Try on an asymmetric jumpsuit with draped sleeves for a change! Lastly, don’t forget to add a final touch with a pair of gold earrings.
