We're Fashion Editors With Busy Holiday Schedules—7 Party Looks We Approve Of

"I love printed skirts for parties because you can pair them with basic black pieces, and you'll look stylish with minimal effort. Here, I'm wearing a beautiful marble-print Who What Wear Collection skirt with a crop top and sheer cardigan along with some pointy-toe kitten heels. Easy peasy."

What You'll Need: Sheer Cardigan + Crop Top + Printed Midi Skirt

"Dressing up like a layered cake was on my to-do list for this holiday season, and this dress pulled through. Whenever December begins to creep up on me, I know I need to be prepared for unexpected holiday festivities. I ordered this dress a few weeks before the holidays kicked off without any specific event lined up on my calendar. It certainly came in handy a few nights ago when I dressed it up for a star-studded event that had all of the holiday vibes."

What You'll Need: Tiered Midi Dress + Shoulder Bag + Knee-High Boots

"Holiday partywear that feels like pajamas? Count me in! Plissé (aka pleated) material is truly the best. It never wrinkles and looks so ridiculously luxe. I also love that you can wear each of these pieces alone as well for day or evening. It's the epitome of versatility.

What You'll Need: Plissé Set + Heeled Sandals

"I'm so glad I purchased the Janelle Sweater when I did instead of waiting to get it as a holiday gift. I can't wait to wear it for my casual family holidays at home. It is cozy enough for dinner by the fireplace but also stylish enough to be worthy of a special meal. I am going to pair it with a black turtleneck, black jeans, and black lug-sole loafers and add a little sparkle with simple pearl earrings and a necklace. TL;DR: Don't sleep on the versatile Janelle Sweater!

What You'll Need: Ribbed Sweater + Black Jeans + Lug-Sole Loafers + Pearl Jewelry

"There's nothing I love more than an eye-catching top. This ruched, long-sleeve option is what I plan on getting the most wear out of this holiday season. It's easy to dress up with a pair of faux-leather pants but can look so effortlessly cool styled casually with jeans and kitten heels."

What You'll Need: Ruched Top + Faux-Leather Pants + Statement Heels

"I like my holiday outfits to be elegant but also a little bit trendy, which is why the Stella Dress is a key piece in my rotation right now. It's the right intersection of comfortable and versatile, and really, it's all about how you style it. I'll give you an example: I wore it to a casual Friendsgiving get-together with chunky boots and some gold earrings, but it's also special enough that I plan to wear it with strappy heels and a mini bag to a cocktail hour."

"Whenever I can get away with wearing jeans to a holiday party, I do. This velvet top (plus jeans and a pair of amazing heels) would make for a look that's chic and fancy enough for a celebration."
