Christmas Party Outfit Ideas With Mini Dresses

When it comes to Christmas Party outfit ideas, you can never go wrong with a mini dress. Especially one as perfect as the Diana bow-embellished sequin mini dress by Rebecca Vallance. Firstly this classic fitted dress is incredibly flattering. Secondly, the all-over sequin detailing is ideal for party season. So, slip into this must-have sparkly mini and style it with coordinating black heels and an equally dazzling evening bag. The Raquel pointed crystal satin pumps by Giuseppe Zanotti and the Nano Voyou bow bag by Givenchy, for example, will look amazing with this dress.

Meanwhile, when only a little red dress will get you in the party spirit, opt for the Havana mini dress by Runway The Label x Revolve. The ultimate satin mini dress, this lipstick-hued silhouette is as romantic as it is festive. Pair it with red heels for a sleek block-color look. Or, go for classic black heels and a chic leather bag. Like the Heiress crystal mesh flex shoulder bag by Alexander Wang and the Marseille bow satin slingback pumps by Kate Spade New York.

Christmas Party Outfit Ideas: Statement Midi Dresses

If you’re all about the chicest silhouettes, chic midi silhouettes are always one of my go-to Christmas party outfit ideas. Firstly, look out for festive fabrics like silk, lace, velvet, and sequins. Then, opt for metallic hues, classic black designs, or festive reds. With that in mind, I’ll be slipping into the Casey midi dress by For Love & Lemons this party season. Add the Alex Riviere 85 suede mules by Aquazzura for maximum style points.

Then, for a dress you’ll wear throughout the party season and beyond, look no further than the strapless bustier net gown by Mac Dugall. Let this dress shine and style it with timeless metallic heels and a coordinating bag. Alongside this dress, the Schutz Altina leather sandals and the Le 5 a 7 by Saint Laurent are top of my Christmas wish list this Christmas.
