You’ve probably been scrambling to take your go-to winter dresses out of hibernation or have been looking to refresh your wardrobe with new ones as your social calendar fills up. If that’s true for you, we’ve got quite a selection of holiday party dresses lined up. And after another strenuous year, we think we’re all overdue to glow up at all our office soirĂ©es, family reunions, and dinner parties that await our RSVPs (Thanksgiving and New Year’s Eve included!). 

From black-tie gowns and cocktail dresses to comfortable (slightly more casual) dresses for at-home festivities, we’ve compiled the best holiday dresses for every type of invite you receive. On our list, you’ll find plenty of holiday dresses in luxe metallics, sparkly sequins, and glamorous gem tones as well as sleek, chunky knits that are festive and weather-appropriate. Just be sure to add to your cart ASAP, so that your show-stopping dress arrives in time — that is, in time for your grand entrance, wink wink. Scroll ahead to see the best holiday dresses for women.

The Best Holiday Cocktail Dresses

Tell us you don’t wanna shimmy-shimmy all night long in these holiday cocktail dresses. Whether you’re headed to a decadent hall or a dimly lit bar, there are plenty of fitted minis and flowy midis to dazzle in. Because your only assignment when wearing these cocktail dresses is to find the nearest light source and bask in it like a goddess (or like the NYE Swarovski ball).

The Best Work Holiday Party Dresses

Do you have a list of corporate events or office parties to RSVP to? Pick one of our more modest — but still chic — dresses for your work party. Stick to less glitzy fabrics (with the exception of classy velvets and jacquards), and go for sleek knitted dresses and elevated shirt dresses. You can spice up the piece with your favorite sparkly ballet flats or knee-high boots if you want to prove who’s the best dressed worker.

The Best Comfortable Holiday Dresses

Stay comfy all night long while exuding that cheerful spirit with one of these cozy, flowy, and loose-fitting dresses. Because who wants to feel constricted when they’re enjoying plates of turkey or rounds of hors d’oeuvres? Opt for flowy shift dresses, loose slip dresses, or cozy sweater dresses in festive colorways and prints for the best of both worlds.

The Best Classy Holiday Dresses

Keep it elegant and graceful in lush frocks adorned with bows, sequins, lace, and puff sleeves. Trust us when we say you’ll want to wear these classy holiday dresses to all your elevated dinner parties and soirĂ©es. Or maybe you have winter nuptials coming up and need a festive wedding guest dress? Because it’s not every day that you can wear a sparkly gingham gown or giant-bow maxi.

The Best Long-Sleeve Holiday Dresses

Immerse yourself in our carousel of the best long-sleeve dresses to keep you warm. Trust us: You won’t find stuffy long-sleeve options here. Each number has its own stylish flair of a statement neckline, mini hemline, or sheer details for a range of different types of holiday parties.
