This time of year, everybody’s focused on the holidays. From gifts to decor, it’s almost like nothing exists past New Year’s Eve. And while we’re not advocating skipping the festivities, we want to make sure you’re thinking ahead.
That really rings true when it comes to snazzy holiday party dresses. Traditionally, there’s a lot of glitz and plush fabrics like velvet, especially in red and green hues. But you can still get the party started in unexpected shades and silhouettes. And the devil is in the details with everything from scalloped trim to ruching giving these dresses an edge. Come 2019, pull them out again for date night and your weekend wardrobe.
Here are 23 holiday party dresses that’ll still look hot come January 2.
