The Holidays Are Coming—21 Affordable Party Dresses I'm Freaking Out Over
The holiday season is fast approaching, and we want to ensure your party wardrobe is stocked and ready for the festivities. I already have quite a handful of events I know I need something fun to wear but I don't want to spend more than I need to. Thanks to hours of scrolling and hundreds of open tabs, I was able to locate the best affordable party dresses for the holiday season right here.
Somehow, I narrowed down my favorites to 21, but know that there are tons more out there that almost made the cut. Below, shop the perfect affordable holiday party dresses from maxis to minis and back again.
This is the most expensive dress you'll see in this story, but I couldn't leave it out.
No one will believe you when you tell them this is from Abercrombie & Fitch.
Rosettes are a major trend right now and this is the perfect dress to dive in with.
Dress this up with a long black coat or down with a leather jacket and sneakers.
