Dresses to Impress: Top 5 Holiday Party Looks

As twinkling lights and tinsel start to make their annual appearance, a girl doesn’t need to check her agenda twice to know ‘tis the season to deck her wardrobe with the perfect party look. After all, holiday glamour is appropriate at any event this time of year. There’s no denying that this season’s top styles have a tone of opulent femininity with lace and ruffled details taking center stage.

For the fearless, the dare-to-bare allure of Emilio Pucci’s little black number with a lined lace panel flanking the sides offers enough boldness without sacrificing too much mystery. Long lace sleeves and a high neckline maintain the perfect balance between audacity and propriety. A pair of Sergio Rossi heels and a Fendi clutch are all this little black dress needs to evoke envious looks from the entire guest list.

A refined fusion of texture and embellishment gives the piece mesmerizing sparkle and sets the mood for a night on the dance floor or flirting over a glass of champagne. Slide on a pair of long gloves to complete the look and you’re ready for some jazzy after-dark pleasure.
