Holiday dressing was always meant to be fun, no matter the dress code. Whether it's an ugly-sweater party or a black-tie affair, a holiday party should inspire you to try something festive and different from your 9-to-5 wardrobe. The look should involve textures like velvet and suede, embellishments like feathers and lace trim, and the colors that define the season. We're starting to see these pieces on the market, and we're loving the styles from Bloomingdale's. Between shimmering maxi dresses and velvet suiting, these 16 arrivals will impress any holiday party guest.
