The holidays bring to mind sparkly, bright and cheerful colours along with excitement or nostalgia. All of these things are easily reflected in seasonal party dresses. Options are endless. Dresses are available in different styles, textures and colours that are glittery, glamorous, festive and elegant to keep the well-dressed woman in style from their first holiday party to New Year.

The type of dress worn should be dictated by the type of party attended. Wear a cocktail dress or formalwear to an elegant dinner party. Short party dresses can be daring, full of sparkle and fun. The office party brings a challenge to be appropriate, yet festive in the type of dress worn.

Colour
Red and green are holiday colours, but there is no reason to limit colour selection. Jewel tones like cobalt blue, purple, deep gold and bright orange are other popular options. Silver and gold are festive and that little black dress is also appropriate as long as it is enhanced with a bit of colour or glitter.

Style
Popular party dresses for this season are short. There are some beautiful party dress styles that come to the knee as well, so wear what is comfortable. Suitable styles for the holiday season are strapless, one shoulder, and thin straps. There is a trend to long fitted sleeves this year making it possible to dress every body type. Some necklines plunge, but others are more modest. Popular styles are fitted to the body or cute, full baby doll type dresses. The glamour of 1940s Hollywood has inspired many party dresses for the current season. Even a simple white silk blouse paired with a sparkly skirt and textured tights are suitable wear for the holiday season.

Texture
Lace is popular for the holidays. White or black lace sleeves give a touch of elegance as does a lace collar or cuffs. Gathered lace skirts cascading in layers are another popular option. Sequins are festive during the holidays and a nylon sequin dress that falls to the knees with a modest neckline is perfect for a holiday party dress. Silk, satin and velvet are all valid options for textures during the holidays.

Vintage
Inspect the closet for old party dresses and enhance them with something new to make them look fresh. Add a red belt to a little black dress and wear sparkling jewellery and shoes. Add a lace trim to an old party dress or use new accessories to give an old dress a new life. A new sash in a bold colour can do wonders for an old dress.

With all the options available this year, women of every age and shape should be able to find the perfect party dress that will make her feel special and stand out. Adorn your perfect party dress with gold, silver, pearls or rhinestones to further enhance the dress and the festivities of the season.
