1. Sparkly Cocktail Dress

Stop searching for the perfect little black cocktail dress, and start looking for the sparkly version. Luckily for you, the search won’t be that hard because they’re everywhere!

2. Casual Shirt Dress

Sporty Spice may have coined the Tom Boy look in the 90s, but you can bring it back this holiday season. Rock a casual shirt dress to almost any party you attend, you’ll look great but feel comfortable.

3.Red Halter

If you’re wearing a halter dress, I can already assume you’re not wearing this to your mom’s house. Why not take the already sexy halter to another level and make it red.

4. Strapless

Sorry ladies, this dress only works for those rocking an A cup. No one should ever have to deal with a strapless bra, so let’s leave this dress for those lucky women who don’t need to wear a bra.

5. A Tight Bodycon

Unlike the strapless dress, I am putting no restrictions on who can wear a bodycon dress. If you’re worried about how you look in a tight dress, fuck it, you only live once, and this dress is too cute to pass up because of bloating.

Shop This Look:

6. One Shoulder Mini

I call this the revenge dress, only wear it if you’re looking to give someone the cold shoulder. This dress is a sexy ensamble while still leaving something for the imagination.

Shop This Look:

7. Aline

Aline dresses were basically invented for work parties. They’re a classic look that everyone will love, and you can still feel relaxed.

8. Wrap dress

Christmas gifts aren’t the only thing getting wrapped this year. A wrap dress can be both casual and fancy all at once. They’re sexy but also cute. In one second you can be toasting with your grandparents, and the next you’re being unwrapped by your significant other in the bathroom.

9. Empire Waste

Guess what? An empire waist dress wasn’t just made to hide a pregnant actresses belly on a TV show. Empire waist dresses are perfect if you’re looking to have a second helping at dinner and don’t want a material sticking to you all night.

10. Slip Dress

Slip into this holiday dress before any party, and you’ll be the talk of the night. A slip dress is a bold move, so make sure you’re ready to handle the power that comes with it.

Shop This Look:

11. Tea Length

A tea-length dress is a perfect dress to wear to afternoon tea or a holiday party. I don’t know if anyone is actually inviting you out for afternoon tea, but the dress is still useful for the second event. It’s cute, fun and fun to twirl around in.

Shop This Look:

12. Tulip Skirt

A tulip skirt is very similar to the tea-length dress, just with one minor adjustment. The skirt is cut like the petals of a tulip, there isn’t a slit that shows skin, but there are layers and usually sheer. Still fun and can add a bit of flair to the tea-length dress.

Shop This Look:

13. Jacket Dress

The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel didn’t introduce us to the jacket dress, but she did remind us just how spectacular they are. This might be a bit of a retro look, but some styles were meant to come back.

Shop This Look:

14. “Flapper” Style Dress

Speaking of bringing styles back, why not go even further back and wear a flapper dress. Oh come on, we all wish we were a rich person during the roaring 20s. Since time travel hasn’t been invented yet, we’ll have to settle for wearing a flapper inspired dress in 2019 instead.

Someone call Zooey Deschanel, we’re stealing her style this winter. If you have ever seen New Girl, you’ve probably wondered why Jessica Day wore so many high waisted dresses, it’s because they’re adorable. Get with it and find your inner Zooey Deschanel. She’s in there because she’s in all of us.

Someone call the doctor, I must be crazy to put a romper on a list of dresses. I just wanted to give you an alternative to a dress. Rompers are sexy, comfortable and totally in style.

Sweetheart necklines aren’t just for sweethearts, in fact, they might help you find a sweetheart. Sweetheart necklines show off your goods, without giving away the secret. They’re sugar, spice and everything nice.

18. Keyhole

A keyhole dress might be the key to your holiday success. Keyhole dresses are an attractive twist on the bodycon dress. You show a lot, but only showing a little.

Shop This Look:

19. Cutout

Cutout dresses are a daring and electric choice for any holiday party. Basically, a cutout dress has cut-outs anywhere on it, usually on the waist or back. I think they’re fantastic, so if you wear one more power to you!

20. Mullet

I don’t want to make the joke, but I think we all know I’m going to make the joke. A mullet dress is a party in the front and business in the back. I’m sorry, it wasn’t worth it. I just hope you enjoy the dress. You
