    30 Things You Can Wear To Holiday Parties *And* The Rest Of The Year

    The season will end ☹️ but these outfits live on ☺️.

    Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women’s.

    1. An ultra-chic leopard-print dress you'd expect to find at a fancy boutique, but shockingly costs less than $50. Wear it to parties, work gatherings, the grocery store — basically, any time you want to look extremely put together.

    2. Or, a comfy leopard-print maxi with — wait for it — POCKETS!

    3. An ethereally flowy maxi that's just begging to be twirled in any time there's music and a dance floor.

    4. A pair of ridiculously cute high-waisted pants with not only a bow at the waist, but at the tapered ends as well! 🥺 Wear them to your holiday party, then to work (or literally anywhere).

    5. A plaid pencil-style dress for a cozy holiday look that won't illicit visions of sugarplums after the season has ended.

    6. A pretty mock-neck top with polka-dotted mesh sleeves you can pair with everything from skirts to jeans.

    7. A gorgeous cashmere-blend dress to make you feel oh so elegant and sophisticated, no matter the season.

    8. A *Stunning* with a capital "S" pleated sweater dress that looks so much more expensive than its less than $50 price tag.

    9. A long-sleeve skater dress you can feel good about wearing whether you're a pro on the ice or prefer spectating.

    10. A 2-in-1 dress and sweater set that'll literally take you from summer to winter. It comes with a removable side-tie sweater and silky slip dress for endless styling options.

    11. A waist-tie number for a fun "twist" on the standard sweater dress.

    12. A glittery sheer top that's *perfect* for New Year's Eve or your next night out on the town.

    13. A classic plaid wool skirt for anyone who wants to live out their dream of being one of the March sisters, at least in a clothing sense.

    14. A slick faux-leather dress that'll instantly make you feel cooler, whether you gussy it up or keep things casual.

    15. A metallic pleated maxi skirt to add some year-round shimmer to your wardrobe.

    16. A knitted wrap dress that's even more comfy than your favorite cardigan, since you don't have to wear pants with it.

    17. A pair of, yes, Spanx faux-leather leggings, because is there a more versatile pant out there? I'll wait...

    18. A long-sleeved sheath dress complete with a tie waist belt that's dressy enough to wear to any holiday event, but almost as comfy as wearing PJs.

    19. A glamorous velvet wrap maxi you'll be able to slip into as easily as if you were putting on a robe. Choose the black version for something you can wear to any fancy shindig all year-round without any overt "holiday" vibes.

    20. A swingy pleated maxi skirt with a cute bow that won't actually make you look like a present.

    21. A stretchy ribbed midi you'll feel equally at home in whether you're wearing it to a winter gathering or lounging around inside.

    22. A retro-inspired swing dress to bring out your inner Lucy or Ethel — just, maybe wear something else if you're going to be stomping on grapes, because this dress is too pretty.

    23. A romantic smocked midi for anyone who feels nostalgic for an era they were never actually alive during. The red floral print feels festive without being too Christmasy.

    24. A billowy blouse that'll easily take you from day to night, no matter the occasion.

    25. A lovely blue empire-waist dress complete with a flowy skirt and pockets, aka your new favorite fancy/casual go-between.

    26. A flirty flutter-sleeved cocktail dress to wear under the mistletoe and beyond.

    28. A ruched velvet bodycon dress you'll literally look for events to wear it to the rest of the year.

    29. A pair of cropped velvet pants to pair with ankle boots in the fall/winter and flats in the summer. They can be gussied up with a cute blouse or dressed down with a concert tee — the style limit does not exist!

    30. A V-neck maxi with a subtly ruffled skirt you can style in infinite ways and will want to LIVE in bc it's so comfy. Also, love that cheeky little slit!
