Colorful Cocktail Dresses Made For Party Season

Since party season’s practically here, we’re coveting colorful cocktail dresses to make us feel fabulous. Preferably those with a dose of holiday sparkle! If you feel the same, dresses like the asymmetric sequined satin mini by Halpern should be top of your wish list. Unlike countless other sequin silhouettes we’ve seen, this one offers an elegant high neckline and long sleeves with flared cuffs. Additionally, the asymmetric handkerchief hem adds another playful touch. We just can’t get enough of its brightly colored, striped sequin design. Therefore, we plan on pairing it with the equally stunning Jenlove 100 suede pumps by Christian Louboutin. The perfect color contrast for an unforgettable holiday party look.

Those searching out a unique party dress for festive dinners and parties will adore Anthropologies sequinned embroidered mini. It has a beautiful plunge V-neckline, gently flared crop sleeves, and a stunning cut-out back. This ties up with a sheer black ribbon which subtly enhances the dresses’ elegant black trim. Style this dress with sheer black tights and the Koller leather ankle boots by Saint Laurent for a chic winter party look.
