Here Are the 30 Coolest Holiday-Party Fashion Finds of the Season
The holiday season is upon us, and so are the parties that are landing on our calendars. Whether you're headed to an office party, a New Year's Eve event, or anything in between, there are likely many festive dress codes to go along with them. If you're in the mood to shop for new-season pieces to get you in the spirit of the holiday season, I've narrowed in on the best finds.
Every holiday season, we see new takes on holiday staples, including pieces constructed from luxe materials such as velvet, sequins, and high-shine satin. This time around is no exception. What is particularly noteworthy are the directional ways designers are interpreting them and the fresh silhouettes we're seeing. Brands such as 16Arlington, Prada, J.Crew, and Reformation have especially strong pieces worth noting. Ahead, shop the best holiday-party fashion finds to add to your closet right now.
16Arlington has mastered cool sequins.
This is perfect on its own, but I'm imagining it with a tailored coat.
Leave it to Proenza Schouler to deliver the most directional take on velvet.
This could easily be worn beyond the holidays but is a great versatile option.
