Whether attending a small, friendly gathering or a formal soiree, it’s always fun to get dolled up and decked out for a bash.

Red-hot fiery hues are a holiday staple. Rich, deep shades of emerald are right on trend. And dresses adorned in lavish details such as crystals, rhinestones, fur, and feathers are perfect for the season.

Try personalizing your favorite frock by pairing it with something a little unexpected like a knit beanie or leather jacket. Whether your style is glam or grunge, preppy or poindexter, show it off this celebratory time of year.
