It’s hard to believe the holiday season is upon us and here come the Holiday Parties!  This was supposed to do out last Wednesday but today is just as good since so much of it is on sale for Cyber Monday! Whether you are wondering what to wear to an office holiday party, a Christmas party with friends or to your club, I’ve got you covered. Here are a few of my favorite looks to wear to Christmas parties this year.

Be sure to check out my updated Cyber Monday Sale post here.

Dresses for Christmas Parties

Black sleeveless sweater / Black Silk Tie Skirt / Black Heels / Black Clutch

I have this set from Julia Amory in two colors…it’s that good! The velvet version of the skirt is in my cart. Her entire site is 30% off for Cyber Monday! I’m picking up this top and this dress.  She makes beautiful classics you’ll wear for years.

Similar Sweater Dress / Similar Jeweled Sandals here and here / Black Louis Vuitton Clutch

This sweater dress was a top reader favorite last holiday season and I’ve found the updated version for you!  I got so many compliments on this eyelash sweater dress.  I know you’ll love this, too!

Black and Pearl Mini Dress / The BEST Black Pumps / Satin Clutch 

This chic dress was an immediate YES from one of my favorite brands, Tuckernuck.   They knock it out of the park every season with classic yet modern styles.  I love the pearl detail around the shoulders and the tweed fabric. The cut of the dress is very flattering.  There are hidden ribbon/snaps to hold your bra straps in place under the slightly cut in shoulders. It is a classic I’ll have for years.

Cashmere Sweater Dress

This chic off the shoulder cashmere sweater dress is a go-to dress for me.  Constructed from the most wonderful cashmere, it has great style and holds it’s shape. I wore it to a special dinner in NYC, cocktail parties and Christmas Eve last year and can’t wait to wear it this season!  They just released a gorgeous red that I’ll share a try on of today on Instagram stories!

Sleeveless Column Dress with Sash / Crystal Sandals / Clutch 

I wore this dress to an event my husband sponsored last week and shared it on IG stories.  I has an immediate best seller!  It’s perfect for holiday parties from cocktail to black tie.

Sequin Midi with Feather Trim Dress (30% off!) / Crystal Sandals / Metallic Clutch

FULL ON GLAM for the holidays!  If not now, then when, right!?!?  This beautiful black dress with mini sequins highlighted with a large marabou feather trim is the ultimate holiday dress.  The Eli Tahari Holiday Sale is 30% off wear now styles for Cyber Monday!

Similar Off the Shoulder Black Midi Dress here and here / Similar Jeweled Sandals here

A classic off the shoulder dress is perfect for many occasions year round.

GLAMOROUS COZY OPTIONS

Faux Leather Beaded Mini Skirt / Black Turtleneck / Crystal Sandals / Metallic Clutch 

Always love a cozy glam look for the holidays.  Just pop on a great skirt and party shoes with your favorite cashmere sweater and you are set!

 

 

Sweater / Similar Bias Cut Silk Midi Skirt / Nude Sandals

I wore this look one New Year’s Eve and several other times.  Easy, chic and cozy!

Glamorous Sequin Pants and Jumpsuits for Holiday Parties

Halter Jumpsuit / Nude YSL Heels

This emerald green velvet jumpsuit was an immediate yes!  I can’t wait to wear it next week to our first holiday party.  It’s the flattering neckline we’ve all loved this fall and the most beautiful color velvet.  And at under $100, it’s a no brainer style you’ll have in your closet for years.

Cashmere Turtleneck / Sequin Pants / Similar Satin Clutch

You know I love a cozy look and can’t wait to wear this!  This is my favorite cashmere sweater and some under $100 shimmery pants paired together for a very chic holiday look.  Perfect when you want to be warm but festive as well!  I wore this to several parties last year and on NYE in France and received so many compliments.

Similar Black Blazer / Split Hem Black Pant / Nude Sandals

A classic black velvet blazer is something you’ll wear for years.  It’s great for a luncheon or a evening event paired with black pants or denim.

I hope this has inspired you to think about a few parties you have and what to wear so that you aren’t caught off guard in a week!  We have black tie wedding the first Saturday in December and that is top of my list to shop for now!

    So many beautiful options. The standouts for me were the longer dresses. emerald jumpsuit (great color on you), and the Hobbs leather skirt and sweater, but you looked gorgeous in everything. I ordered the Cora black velvet dress from Tuckernuck and I loved it. However, I returned it because I am 5’6″, and it was too short.

    These are some really nice options, especially love the green jumpsuit. Unfortunately the short dresses are just too short for lots of us.

      Hi!
      The jumpsuit is a showstopper! I’m so glad that I found it again this year.
      I am 5’2″ and try to mention that for length reference when sharing items.
      Thanks for following along!
