Satin Dresses

Satin dresses are a match made in style heaven when it comes to holiday dressing. They can be dressed up or down, or layered or worn alone. There are a dime a dozen out there but here are some selects that I personally love! This one I’m wearing can be found here!

Sequin/Embellished Dresses

If you’re really going for a “stand out” look then a sequin or embellished number is definitely the way to go. It’s a classic that you can’t go wrong with and will definitely have you feeling the center of attention. Don’t be afraid to amp it up even more with sparkly accessories!

Velvet Dresses

The look and feel of velvet is very much in line with the holidays. It’s a classic material that feels very luxurious. I always associate velvet with colder temps so this is the perfect season to find a style that you can wear again and again. These options below are *chefs kiss* and there’s an option for every style!

Metallic Dresses

  Metallic will always be that girl throughout any season, but during the holidays she really gets her moment to shine, pun intended. Whether you’re going for a plisse moment, like the dress I’m wearing above, or a traditional sheath, you’ll be turning heads left and right when you walk through!

Chiffon

Chiffon isn’t reserved for just bridesmaids dresses. Finding the right chiffon or organza style dress can really provide a whimsical element to your outfit. Whether you go mini, flouncy, or maxi, each style gives a different vibe for whatever festivity you have lined up!
