Semi-Formal Holiday Styles Fit for Every Fashionista

by Cassandra Morris

The holiday season is officially here, and so are the invites to holiday parties and dances. Don’t be caught without something fabulous to wear! Indulge in a gorgeous cranberry taffeta frock, have the perfect little black dress at the ready, and make your grand entrance with just the right amount of sparkle in these holiday ensembles.

The most festive frock

A cranberry-colored frock is always appropriate for the holidays, and this one is absolutely stunning. I love the sparkle that lines the bust, but the real draw to this dress is the oversized bow at the waist. It adds texture, detail, and the gentle reminder that you should be the receiver of at least one awesome gift this year!

The ultimate LBD

This fierce number is a trendy twist on the tried-and-true little black dress. The lace overlay and subtle sequins are festive enough for any holiday occasion, and are totally in this year. This dress pairs perfectly with opaque black tights and a cropped cardigan if the temps are too cold for bare skin.

A touch of glitz

Let it snow! This winter white sweetheart dress is flecked with glittering gold, and will make you look like the ultimate snow angel. A subtle pair of gold hoops, a few thin bracelets and nude heels will tie this look together for any formal event.

An evening gem

The sun sets super early this time of year, but that hardly upsets your party schedule. It just means you can start wearing your sequin-packed dresses a little earlier in the evening than usual. This navy number is full of dainty ruffles and extra sparkle that will make you stand out at any holiday dance or New Year’s celebration.

Accessories that glitter

Celeb-Inspired Holiday Dresses

by Katrina Mitzeliotis

‘Tis the season for a slew of holiday parties! Whether you’re getting together with friends and family or colleagues, I’m sure your social calendar is jam-packed. While it does require some thought, holiday parties are also the perfect excuse to show off a hot new trend, straight from the red carpet! Read on for a report on the hottest red carpet trends and incorporate the looks into your wardrobe with my tips and picks!

Sequins:

From Kristen Stewart to Elizabeth Hurley and Emma Stone, the sparkling trend has really ruled the red carpet lately — and it’s so festive! Whether you’re getting together with friends or heading out for New Year’s Eve festivities, you’re sure to standout if you’re showing off a little sequin.

Style T1711129M1

Maroon/Oxblood:

Nothing says holiday quite like a red dress — and considering it’s right on trend this season you seriously can’t go wrong! Stars of all ages and with varying body types have worked the trend, including Leighton Meester, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Elizabeth Banks and Chloe Moretz. I recommend sticking to a classic style, because it’s a dress you can easily wear year after year.

Style 011198510

Lace:

The feminine trend seems so appropriate for holiday, and there’s so many different ways to wear it. If you aren’t comfortable with the idea of full-on lace, you can opt for a frock with lace detailing, like the one below. Thanks to the classic color and modest neckline, it’s appropriate for a variety of occasions.

Style T2731208M1

You can also glam up your basic little black dress and incorporate the look with your accessories! Box clutches are a staple on the red carpet this season, and this option can easily dress up any look.

Style HB446

Peplum:

Whether you want to create the illusion of a fuller frame or are hoping to conceal a few areas, a peplum can work wonders — and it adds such a trendy vibe to your whole look. This is another style that works so well for a variety of occasions, and it’s so popular on the red carpet. From glam gowns to streamlined sheaths, peplum has popped up everywhere, (and on everyone), including Emma Stone, Cate Blanchett and Jessica Alba, (to name a few).
