The Holiday Dress Trend That Will Get Tons of Compliments
It seems like just yesterday we were enduring the heat of summer, longing for the temperatures to drop. Now that we’re here, we can’t help but ask, “Where did fall go and how is it already winter?” Okay, maybe we’re getting ahead of ourselves, but within a number of weeks, we’ll be in the center of the holiday season, which means it’s time to start shopping for those all winter party ensembles. Sure, there are plenty of dresses that’ll look great year-round, but if there’s one style that was practically made for the season, it’s the long-sleeve holiday party dress.
Sure, you could always opt for a classic slip dress, but there’s something about a long-sleeve dress, especially when it’s of the sequined, velvet, or metallic variety, that feels extra-special for the holidays. You’re bound to receive endless compliments at any soirée you attend. Ready to start shopping? We gathered the chicest long-sleeve dresses you’ll want to wear to every holiday party you have in your calendar. Check them out below.
