Cinch a modest, high-neck number down the bodice with a figure-defining vest in a holiday-festive color that pops. Accent the look with shimmering shoes and jewelry, such as drop earrings.

Materiel Satin Draped Mini Dress ($785)

Highlight the playfulness of a flouncy ruffle trim with a bow in your hair and wedges on your feet. Add texture and dimension with a sharp leather clutch and cat-eye sunglasses.

Selkie The Caviar Marie Dress ($249)

A lace-up stiletto bootie helps attract the eye downward, leading to the fringe detail at your hemline without taking away from it. Complement your boho-inspired look with pearls and architectural sunglasses.

Raey Rouleau-Fringed Silk-Satin Dress ($607)

Aim for sophistication with regal gold stud earrings, a box bag, and a slicked-back hairstyle in your pussy-bow dress. Coordinate the look with knee-high boots that meet the hemline and a colorful handbag.

Lauren Ralph Lauren Tie-Neck Velvet Dress ($225)

Simplicity usually reigns supreme, especially when you are short on time but still want to go for the glamour. In this case, combine your dress with a go-to strappy sandal that you're comfortable in. Statement earrings and a simple black bag complete the look.

Leather and lace is a trusty combination that never fails. Try this foolproof mix with a midi dress that falls over the top of your knee-high boots. You'll bring the right amount of toughness to an otherwise delicate look.

Paco Rabanne Frilled Neck Lace Midi Dress ($1,036)

Your LBD automatically becomes fancy enough for the holiday party when you throw on a sequined duster and a pair of slingbacks. Let it be the foundation of your look, and you can't go wrong regardless of your outerwear and accessory choices.

Opt for a silhouette that stops before the ankle so you can have a standout shoe moment. A pair of smart, strappy ballet flats or kitten heels will convey both chicness and functionality.

Belt your look with a thick leather belt at the waist to mix materials and add dimension. Finish the ensemble with neutral-toned pieces so as not to take away from the details.

A whimsical dress like this one can be pared back for a more casual event with leather lug-sole boots. Select accessories with shiny hardware to complement whichever jewelry you decide to wear.

Style yours over sheer tights with knee-high boots and a contrasting purse. A tailored blazer that comes to just the same length will be the ideal outerwear option.
