The Minimalist Gown
Third Form’s strapless satin maxi finds the balance between understated and flawlessly chic. It’s party dressing the minimalist way—just add a pointed-toe heel.
The Little Black Ruffles
Ulla Johnson gives her sophisticated spin on romantic ruffles in this festive yet ultra-wearable black velvet midi.
The Ski-House Dress
With its side stripe and sporty stitching, Chloé’s cashmere turtleneck maxi is ideal for an evening out after a day on the slopes.

The Mighty Mini
Staud’s Irie bow-adorned minidress from the label’s holiday collection has already established itself as a cult buy and is selling out fast.
The Shimmering Shift
Resembling a 1920s frock, Raey’s swishy-crystal-fringe slip dress was made for New Year’s Eve.
The Jewel-Toned Slip
Known for its luxurious pajama sets, Asceno knows a thing or two about nightwear. For a sumptuous take on the slip dress, opt for the label’s wine-colored velvet style.
The Effortless Sweaterdress
Cozy and chic, By Malene Birger’s alpaca-and-merino-wool sweaterdress is one you’ll wear all winter long.

The Tickle Me Pink
A festive dress doesn’t need to have sequin or shine. Case in point: HVN’s flirty pink feather-trim frock.
The Party-in-the-Back Dress
At first glance, Zara’s black long-sleeve maxi seems pretty standard; however, a large cutout in the back warrants this LBD some more attention.
The Bold Red
If hot pink was spring 2022’s color of choice, it’s red for the spring 2023 runways. Staud’s high-neck flared maxi is in the holiday spirit and on trend.

The Striped Sweater…dress
Striped knits have become a Vogue-approved wardrobe staple and are now available in dress form thanks to Proenza Schouler’s bell-sleeve knit midi.

The Sheer Gown
Mango’s most recent partywear collaboration with Camille Charrière gives us this delicately sheer gown dotted with crystals. Note: Transparent dressing is another key ready-to-wear trend.
The Poinsettia Print
Rixo’s red floral frock resembles festive decor, and the velvet-and-crepe-de-chine dress is the perfect length for knee-high or over-the-knee boots.
The Party Paillettes
Banana Republic’s column midi is everything you want in a holiday dress. It uses paillettes instead of small sequins for an elevated look, and it can be worn with or without straps (versatility!). It has a built-in corset for easy strapless wear, and it’s black so you can wear it to multiple parties this year. What’s more? It rings in under $300.
The Winter-Getaway Dress
Sunseekers planning to escape the cold this December can count on Zimmermann’s resortwear designs all year round.

The Disco Darling
For dance-ready sequined dresses, look no further than Ashish’s wonderfully colorful creations. Rainbow-colored sequins create a groovy abstract print.
The Make It Snappy
Getting dressed in the colder months is a snap with H&M’s rib-knit dress. Extra-long sleeves and a mock neck, complete with sporty fastened details, make this a stylish option for layering up.

The Present Perfect
Like a luxurious velvet ribbon on top of a gift, Bernadette’s gathered emerald green mini is the sartorial bow on top of the holiday season.
The Going Out LBD
Norma Kamali’s ruched body-con dresses are a staple for after-hours wear. We love the brand’s velvet iteration for the winter season.
The Spring 2023 Trend for Now
One of the trends we saw come out of the latest spring collections was the three-dimensional floral. Try it out this holiday season with Coperni’s metallic appliqué dress.
The December Day Dress
You can rely on Skims for ultra-comfortable everyday items, like bodysuits and bralettes, and now you can count their lounge dress as a staple too.
The Haute Halter
Show off those legs—or embellished heels—with 16 Arlington’s festive feather-trim satin mini.
The Christmastime Classic
With its midi length, A-line silhouette, and sweetheart neckline, Dries Van Noten’s deep red velvet Doss dress is as elegantly classic as they come.
The Evening Ivory
Not all occasions and parties call for black. Lighten up your night-out look with this ruched, off-the-shoulder style from Moré Noire, which ironically comes in white.
The Glam-Slam Gown
Stella McCartney’s effortlessly cool, sliplike silhouette gown comes complete with just the right amount of embellishments.
The Stop and Wear the Roses
With a strapless silhouette, this below-the-knee rose-print dress is an elegant option for formal affairs. An open décolletage provides an opportunity to add fine jewelry to the look.
The Runway to Reality
The floor-skimming gowns from Saint Laurent’s fall 2022 collections were a favorite of the season. The nonchalant yet opulent silhouette inspired many other eveningwear offerings. Shop two styles straight from the collection at Net-a-Porter.
