The Fashion Dresses I'm Wearing Throughout My Overly Packed Holiday Calendar
There's so much to address right off the bat with this story: I know I, too, cannot believe we're already nearing the 2021 holiday season. I myself am also shocked there's even talk of holiday soirées and office parties. So yes, as the temperatures drop, we are going to do the opposite of last year and step out in our best looks instead of cozying up on the couch in loungewear. I'm surprised and in the best way possible! There's something about the holiday season that lends itself to dressing to the nines, and that's exactly what I plan to do. Every trend is on my shopping list, and I've included the entire thing below. Keep scrolling for my favorite fashion dresses at every price point.
I love the little ball puffs on these sleeves. They look so chic.
I bring you this year's sleeves, this year's cutouts, and this year's ruching. You're welcome in advance for all the compliments.
Feathers are in this season, and I ask you this: What possibly could be more festive than that?
Look, I can't show my legs and curves every night, okay? I love the idea of wearing this billowy frock with knee-high leather boots.
I hope the name of this dress is referring to the finish line because it's a winner.
This dress will be perfect for those crisp outdoor holiday events. That cutout will pop from underneath a coat if you need to layer up, too.
This color is almost too perfect for a holiday party.
Aralyn Beaumont joined Who What Wear as the copy editor for branded content after a career in food media. Years of poring over intricate recipes with a fine-tooth comb and working with high-profile chefs has prepared her well for working with fashion's top brands while honoring Who What Wear's voice. Her background as a research editor makes her a finicky editor who will probably care too much about making sure all copy is as factually accurate and aligned with the house style guide as can be. Maybe it's because she's a Gemini, but her personal style is impossible to pin down: One day you'll see her in a turtleneck sweater tucked into a midi skirt with heeled boots, and the next, she'll be wearing mom jeans, a white Hanes tee, and classic Vans. At the end of the day, her style reflects her various moods. Sometimes it will be feminine and elegant, and others it will be grungy or androgynous. Certain things will always remain constant, though. She'll forever be on the hunt for the perfect pair of high-waisted jeans.
