Your Everything Guide to Holiday Dresses

No winter wardrobe is complete without a few things: a sweater so cozy you look for excuses to snuggle up in it, a pair of comfy jeans that go with literally everything in your closet, winter boots that are equal parts chic and practical, and a go-to holiday dress.

While the former items will help you navigate the day-to-day of the calendar’s coldest months, the latter will make sure you’re dressed to impress at the fancier occasions that come your way—say, office holiday parties, or family holiday parties, or maybe even friend holiday parties. (Maybe you guys are really ritzy—we don’t know your life.)

But shopping for holiday dresses isn’t just a practical endeavor—it’s a fun one, too. Winter holidays come but once a year, and they’re your official excuse to buy all the velvet, and sparkle, and shine, and red/green/gold/silver/white/black stuff you’ve been eyeing all year long.

That emerald green, figure-hugging number you’ve been daydreaming of since you saw it? A perfect holiday party dress. That fire-engine red, patent leather piece you want, just because? A perfect (and totally statement-making) holiday party dress. That shiny silver jumpsuit you’re sure you can wear during summer and winter? A perfect holiday party dress—well, jumpsuit, because those are on the menu, too.

Everyone needs at least one holiday dress—and most holiday dresses can be repurposed in myriad ways once December comes to a close. So you can have your cake and eat it, too; you can stock up on all the holiday party dresses you’ve been drooling over and rest assured knowing they’ll have at least one practical purpose—if not many, many more.
