When you think about party dresses, your mind might rapidly wander to strapless or spaghetti-strap minidresses. However, it's time to rewire what we think a party dress should be and consider adding long sleeves to the equation. Long-sleeve dresses, whether midi, mini, or maxi, have the same flair and excitement as your favorite and go-to dresses. There are chic and classy silk wrap dresses, foolproof lace and mesh body-con options, minidresses with puffy sleeves, and, of course, frocks that embrace sequins and velvet to the max. So even if the official party season is over, you're still going to celebrate some things here and there, and when you do, we highly suggest these 25 long-sleeve dresses in every color that we've rounded up ahead.
