Who can argue with a sequin dress this time of year? A dazzling midi or maxi is ideal for anyone who likes to make a statement—and it’ll double as a lovely winter wedding guest dress later in the season. Sheer tights keep things classic (and warm), while slingback heels and gold accents up the va-va-voom without veering into too-revealing territory. Add a faux-fur jacket or chunky sweater up top if you prefer more coverage.

A tailored skirtsuit is synonymous with timeless elegance, making it perfect for both the office and any work-related holiday gatherings. The key here is the cut of the blazer: a nipped waist, strong shoulders, and flaring at the hips, which flows beautifully into a full skirt. And speaking of—while you could go with matching materials, the velvet find below is so much more festive.

Wish you could dress for a lazy Sunday while making the most of a Wednesday evening work event? Enter the sweater set, which overdelivers on both style and coziness. A large belt gives the look some shape and breaks things up visually, and coordinating slingbacks tie it all together.
