If you haven’t noticed, we’re fast approaching the thick of holiday party season…cueing the mad scramble to figure out what to wear. Sparkly mini dresses and velvet twirly skirts – while undeniably festive – can begin to feel a bit repetitive, plus, not every lady feels her best donning a frilly frock. In the event you’re sick of the go-to party dress or you’re in dire need of inspo on what to wear to that one holiday party whose dress code ambiguously reads as “festive attire,” we’ve lined up the best holiday looks for you that don’t include a dress. These 3 party looks will get you feeling inspired and are easy to recreate thanks to the handy shopping guides below. Cheers to mixing and mingling, ever-flowing hot toddies and an outfit that shouts “I’m here to party” in the most chill way.
