Best Winter Dresses for Holiday Parties

The best winter dresses for holiday parties can vary from modest styles to all-out glamorous designs. Wondering which dresses are best for your seasonal festivities? Here are some winter dresses that are sure to be appropriate for each of the holiday parties on your calendar this season:

1. Modest Holiday Dress. Having a holiday dress on hand with modest detailing, like sleeves or a scoop neckline, makes it easy to attend work parties in style. Just remember, you have to work with these people, so choosing a more modest holiday party dress is always a safe bet! Go for a short lace navy wrap dress or a knee-length little black dress for a festive and feminine vibe. PromGirl has lots of holiday dresses that are beautiful, fun, and workplace approved.

2. Casual Holiday Dress. If you’re home for the holidays or exchanging gifts with friends, chances are you’ll need an informal, yet stylish look. Pick a casual holiday dress that shows off your personal style, and you’ll be ready for laidback seasonal gatherings. An a-line short Christmas dress in a red or green jersey fabric is casually chic and beautifully appropriate.

3. Semi-Formal Winter Dress. A big Christmas bash with family and friends calls for a festive Christmas dress or semi-formal winter dress. Although red and green holiday dresses are traditional for semi-formal Christmas parties, you may wish to change it up with a metallic short dress or a short glitter-mesh dress that shines in the spotlight.

4. Cocktail-Style Holiday Dress. Perfect for New Year’s Eve parties, eye-catching cocktail-style holiday dresses are seasonal wardrobe staples. Dazzle in a sparkly silver or gold New Year’s Eve party dress, a high-neck sequin dress in mauve pink, or even a short NYE dress in textured blue velvet. The choice is yours.

5. Formal Winter Dress. For a formal school function, it’s always smart to check the dress code before shopping for a Christmas or winter dance dress. If the event calls for a short formal dress, go for a Christmas dance dress, from our assortment of whimsical short party dresses, sparkly sequin or soft velvet dresses. Short winter formal dresses and Christmas dresses come in a variety of styles that are sure to please. Need a fancier formal winter dress for a Winter Ball? When the dress code calls for elevated attire, it’s best to choose a long winter ball dress. Check out the stunning long styles available in the winter formal dress section to find a gorgeous look for your Winter Ball.


Follow these suggestions to find the best winter dress for each of your holiday parties this season. From classic styles to over-the-top glamorous designs, PromGirl has got you covered with dresses for holiday parties and winter ball dresses that are perfect for celebrating the most wonderful time of the year.
