Christmas party dresses are a must-have in any winter wardrobe, and there's never been a better time to snap-up a new style.
This year, Christmas party dresses are looking better than ever. Whether you love sequins, fancy a feathered style or have been dying to try the metallic trend, there’s so much choice on offer, to suit every budget, shape and occasion.
If your diary is already filling up, and you’re already looking for that Christmas party dress, we’ve found plenty of sparkling going out dresses that will have you ready to hit the dance floor in no time.
Take a twirl in gorgeously grown up ladylike styles, stop traffic in a classic LRD, or wow in a floor-length gown from Mango.
If double duty dressing is more your style, effortless dresses in muted shades make for the perfect blank canvas. Invest in styles that will take you from the office to bar with a couple of well-chosen accessories. These are the dresses you’ll be able to reinvent time and again.
With so much choice one thing is for sure, your old LBD may be feeling a little neglected this season. Shop our edit of the very best Christmas party dresses now – don’t forget to give our Black Friday dresses edit and our sister site InStyle UK’s Black Friday clothing deals gallery a look, if you’re keen on a bargain..
