Which holiday party dress for which party
- The office party: aim for knee length or longer, with sleeves or a layer you can keep on. The I Remember Everything Glitter Babydoll Midi Dress has sheer long sleeves and a knee-length skirt, and the You're My Favorite Sweater Dress is a black knit with embroidered sheer sleeves. See more polished looks in work holiday party outfits.
- Cocktails with friends: this is where sequins earn their place. Try the red How Deep Is Your Love One Shoulder Sequins Dress, the rose gold Cheap Thrills Mini Dress or more party dresses. If the invitation says holiday cocktail attire, this is the dress code it means: knee to midi length, a little shine, and heels or dressy flats.
- A formal dinner or gala: go long. The Give Me Everything Tonight Wine Maxi Dress is pleated with a one-shoulder neckline, and our maxi dresses have more floor-length options.
- Family gatherings: pick something you can sit, eat and chase the kids in, like a sweater dress from our cute sweaters.

Color and fabric
Red and wine are the classic holiday colors (see our Christmas dresses), and black looks festive the moment it has some shine. Sequins give the most sparkle and photograph well under party lights. Satin has a softer glow and drapes beautifully, like the navy and black Was It Ever Love Satin Ribbon Ruffle Tiered Maxi Dress. For velvet, start with a top such as the Everybody Needs Someone Velvet Checker Mock Neck Top, and for shine without sequins, the Party On My Mind Shimmer Color Block Bodysuit comes in silver or pink.
Fit and sizing
Most of our holiday party dresses come in Small, Medium and Large, and a few, like the red Let's Stay Together Ruffle Tiered Mini Dress, run X-Small to X-Large. We carry only a few of each size, so check the size guide and order early. If you are between sizes, size up in fitted sheath shapes and stay with your usual size in A-line and babydoll cuts. Not quite right? Returns are free within 21 days of delivery for unworn, unwashed pieces with tags on.
How to style it
Gold block-heel sandals like the Avery Bow Sandals work with red, black and wine. If you would rather skip the dress, the Totally Rocking silver sequin two piece pants set is a full outfit in one. Finish with statement earrings, a party top from holiday tops if you want a second look, and a pair of heels you can stand in all night.
Holiday Party Dresses & Outfits: questions
What should I wear to a holiday party?
Match the invite. For an office party, choose a knee-length or midi dress with sleeves, or a satin top with tailored pants. For cocktails with friends, a sequin or satin mini works. For a formal dinner or gala, go for a maxi dress.
What is holiday cocktail attire?
Holiday cocktail attire means a dressy outfit that stops short of formal. Think a knee-length or midi dress in satin, velvet or sequins, or dressy separates like a satin top with tailored pants or a sequin two piece set. Pair it with heels or dressy flats. Save floor-length gowns for invitations that say formal or black tie.
What colors are best for a holiday party dress?
Red and wine are the classics. Black with sequins or glitter, and metallics like silver, gold and rose gold, also look festive. Green is a fresh choice if you want to stand out from all the red.
Will my holiday party dress arrive in time?
We ship from Texas. Orders are processed in 2 to 3 business days, then standard US delivery takes 5 to 7 business days, free on orders over $75 and $5 below. Need it sooner? Choose 3-day expedited ($20) or overnight ($40) at checkout and order by 9AM CST.
Can I return or exchange a party dress?
Yes. Returns are free within 21 days of delivery, as long as the piece is unworn and unwashed with all tags attached. Start one in our returns portal and we'll email you a prepaid label. Final sale items can't be returned or exchanged.
What sizes do your holiday party dresses come in?
Most styles come in Small, Medium and Large, and a few run X-Small to X-Large. Each product page shows the sizes in stock, and our size guide has the measurements.
