1
Sequin slip dress
Name a silhouette more iconic than the slip dress. I’ll wait. This glam take, in festive silver or black sequins, takes the classic style to new heights. Morgan87 notes in their five-star review that “this dress is great quality and perfect for the holidays” — and even better, “it’s fully lined so it’s not itchy at all.” Layer this style over a sheer blouse for a romantic look or try tossing your favorite blazer or jean jacket over it for a dressed-down cool vibe.
2
Sleeveless feather trim bodycon dress
You’ll swear this gem was scored at a high-end vintage shop. With a minimal square neckline and adjustable spaghetti straps, this mini dress is made of a soft, stretchy fabric blend for easy wear. You’re sure to be the life of the party in this fun, 90s-inspired confection. Five-star reviewer Ag calls this piece “my new favorite little black dress!!!” Three exclamation points for your new favorite LBD.
3
Long sleeve velour jumpsuit
Holy fuchsia velvet, Batman! This eye-popping jumpsuit (rendered in an on-trend Valentino-approved pink crushed velvet) is an unexpected holiday-season gem. We'd suggest adding clashing red pumps for the perfect cherry on top of this eye-catching outfit. LPW’s review exclaims “I have never gotten more compliments in my life — so flattering and SO cute”; and Boymomof2 says this jumpsuit is “perfect for the holidays” and “looks more expensive than it is.”
4
Balloon sleeve lurex plaid dress
Dressed up or dressed down, you can’t go wrong with this A-line maxi dress in gossamer layers of metallic plaid. Semi-sheer sleeves add a touch of sexy to this lurex dress – just pair it with your favorite strappy heels and you’re party-ready. Thanks to a chill silhouette with a tiered bodice and long balloon sleeves, you can style this dress after the party’s over with chunky sandals or your favorite boots.
5
Velvet ruched open-back dress
This curve-hugging crushed velvet dress hits all the right notes. In festive silver or classic black, you can’t go wrong with this stretchy, comfy silhouette. Featuring a ruched front and peek-a-boo cut-out back, this midi dress is anything but ordinary. “I was surprised at how great this dress looks,” says five-star reviewer KatieD. “[I]t looks like a much more expensive dress. Definitely recommend!”
6
Metallic slip dress
By now you’ve likely spotted the Barbiecore trend on celebs and runways. If you’re ready to dip your toe into the trend, this sequin mini dress is a slam dunk. If pink is a little too femme for your taste, this sequin number is available in a sophisticated copper shade as well. No matter the color, this little dress is the perfect pick for holiday celebrations and beyond.
7
Long sleeve sequin button-down shirt
Cooler than cool, this oversized button-up in black sequins is a killer choice for a holiday party or NYE shindig. Pair it with classic black trousers for a chic look or your favorite beat-up jeans and heels for an edgy take. “I am beyond impressed with the quality of this top,” says reviewer 50 and fine. They “love that the sequins are more matte than shiny” and that “the weight of the shirt speaks volumes.” Tinna says that this “super cute shirt will be the highlight of any event!”
8
High-rise sequin flare pants
Rather than a party frock, why not don some festive trousers this season to shake things up? Sequin pants are sure to get the party started — especially in an easy stretch fabric that will allow you to comfortably dance the night away. These flared pants feature a flattering high-waist cut and have a hidden side zip and hook closure. “What a fabulous find at Target! The quality is amazing and the fit is very comfortable with a little flare,” wrote MamaspiceJM in a five-star review.
