Take into consideration the weather and make sure you have something to cover any bare areas in case you're spending some time outdoors in the cold. It's likely that you'll be mingling and moving around a lot, so choose a dress that is comfortable and that you can wear again.
  • New Year's Eve Dresses: It's the night when you celebrate days past and look forward to days in the future, so pick a New Year party dress that is celebratory and fun. Don't be afraid of sparkles or adorning yourself with jewels and funky jewelry. Even if you don't wear heels on a regular basis, use this night as a reason to go against the norm. It's the perfect time to be glamorous and super flirty so don't shy away from New Year party dresses that accentuate your figure, or is in a color you wouldn't normally wear!
  • Office Holiday Party Dresses: Depending on the type of company you work for, pick an office party dress that doesn't go against the general dress code policies. Keep it simple and understated as well as comfortable, so you can walk around and talk to people. Conservative colors and keeping skin exposure to a minimum is smart too. You want coworkers to focus on you and what you have to say, not how little you're wearing.

Most importantly, have fun when picking dresses for a holiday party! Multitask while you do your holiday shopping and keep your eyes open for anything that you think will be perfect for your holiday parties to come.
