Must Have Party Dresses for this Holiday Season

Gorgeous Party Dresses to Wow Everyone!

There are some great party dresses available for this season, but I've narrowed them down to four dresses that will make you look good and stay on trend this holiday season.

We have the obligatory little black dress which every girl needs at least one of to get through any holiday season.

Next we're going metallic with both a gold dress and a silver dress picked. Metallics are really hot this season so these dresses are right on trend.

To round out my top four picks I'm going with an injection of blue, I'll admit a bias as I love the color blue, but I think you'll fall in love with this dress as it's very 'structural' in look and would stand out no matter what color it was in........the blue does seem to make it 'pop' even more though.

Let's have a look at some of the fantastic party dresses available for this party season....

A Show Stopping Little Black Dress

Premium Feather Skirt Plunge Dress

If you though the little black dress was last decade then you haven't seen this standout party dress......

Brought to you from the premium range at Missguided this black mini dress is designed to ensure all eyes will be on you when you're in the room.

The black feather skirt details are the part of the dress that I think makes it stand out the best, but what do you think?

Some would say that the figure hugging stretch fabric that flatters your figure is the best part of the dress and others would point to the deep plunge neckline.

Add some heels and a black clutch and you're ready to style the night away!

Heart Stopping Metallic Fringe Party Dress in Gold

Premium Metallic Fringe Dress

Metallics in all forms are going to be hot this season whether you use them to accessorize or in dress form like this beautiful gold dress.

I love the fringe on this dress that extends beyond the mini dress that it adorns, it gives a nod to the roaring 20s, but it's very modern.

If you're planning on tearing up the dance floor then this is the party dress for you because the fringe will move as you move and will have anyone watching captivated.

Add some strappy gold heels and you will be the most glamorous looking person in the room.

Glam Matte Sequin Midi Party Dress in Silver

Premium Matte Sequin Midi Dress

Also offering a hint of the metallic trend and from Missguided's premium range comes this sequin midi dress in silver. There really is something about silver that just exudes glamor, don't you think?

Marilyn Monroe wore a long silver evening dress in style and was photographed many times, this midi length silver party dress could make you feel like the paparazzi was at the party just for you! I love the idea of a sequinned party dress for the glitzy holidays so this is definitely a winner in my book.

The high neck with the cut out back details is incredibly flattering and the result is an absolutely knockout party dress.

Matte sequins are incredibly on-trend right now and I'd pair this dress with a pair of silver or nude heels and leave all of your jewelry at home - this dress adds just the right amount of bling all by itself.

Cut Out Strappy Bandage Party Dress in Blue

Premium Cut Out Strappy Bandage Dress

This gorgeous blue mini dress really stands out because of the details. Made from a thick premium bandage fabric this dress is seriously figure flattering and will leave you with a saucy silhouette as you party the night away.

From the back the dress just looks like a regular bandage dress in a gorgeous shade of blue, but when you turn to the side or front the cut out details tell the story and people will not be able to take their eyes off of you.

I would simply add a pair of nude heels to this outfit as I wouldn't want to distract attention away from the dress at all, this is another time when jewelry could be distracting except maybe some sculptural looking ear rings in the same blue as the dress.

That Little Black Dress

The Little Black Dress

A Woman's (Not So) Best Kept Secret

You can find a little black dress in most women's wardrobe as it's generally considered a must have staple. There are lots of different styles of what is affectionately referred to as the LBD available, you simply find a style that suits your body shape and you have a classic dress that you can wear with confidence.

Let's look at a few little black dress and see what one you prefer here -

River Island Sheer Panel Bodycon Dress

This dress is by River Island who are generally known for their vibrant printed party dresses, feminine detailing, statement jackets and lots of denim.

Here we don't have any of the vibrant prints, but their little black dress is full of feminine detailing and looks positively stunning.   Great details are what makes this dress and I personally think it's perfect for Friday night drinks.

If this one's not for you then maybe you'd prefer this next one from the ASOS collection.

ASOS Pencil Dress with Split Front

This pencil dress with split front is an example of a cutting edge little black dress.   This dress can take you from office vamp to party girl with just a fluff of your hair and some night time make-up!

Pussycat London Chiffon Dress with Zip Front

This year chiffon seems to be at the forefront and I do like the way it adds some floaty, romantic feminine feel to dresses.   This chiffon dress by Pussycat London combines the soft chiffon look with the 'rock chick' vibe that a front zip adds.

This is definitely a different LBD to the previous two and I can see this being worn with conservative jewelry and a pair of killer heels or with a studded necklace and pair of Doc Martens - now that's what I call a versatile dress!

ASOS Midi Bardot Skater Dress in Texture

This dress from ASOS adds an off the shoulder look that Brigette Bardot made famous in her sex goddess days (hence the nod to her in the dress' name) to the ever popular skater dress fit.   Although the dress is a little longer than you generally see in skater dresses.

I think this little black dress has a very sophisticated and international feel to it, I would almost feel like talking with a French accent while wearing it, but that might be taking things a bit too far!

XOXO Junior's Mesh-Layer Bodycon Dress

This dress from XOXO includes a number of different styles which is why I think it will be very popular this spring/summer.   First we start off with an extremely on-trend black bodycon dress (tick), now we add a mesh overlay which is also on-trend (tick) and finally let's add shoulder cutouts (tick, tick).   I would add some cutout sandals or summer booties to this LBD and dance the night away in style!

But wait, we have one more to enjoy.....

Jessica Simpson Ruffled Illusion Dress

This dress by Jessica Simpson is a LBD that's also an illusion dress.   I must admit I'm not overly taken with this design.   There are some illusion dresses that I really like, but this isn't one of them.....my 18 year old niece however absolutely loves it so I thought I'd better add it in in case you like her style more than mine!

I hope you've managed to find the perfect little black dress for YOUR wardrobe.
