Holiday party season is in full swing, which means deciphering dress codes for every occasion. One event we always struggle finding the perfect look for? The holiday house party. Sure, it feels more laid-back but you know there will be plenty of Instagram-worthy moments so you still want to feel put together.
Luckily, house parties can be the perfect opportunity to test out some novel stylings—you have an occasion to dress for, yet you're still in the comfort of a friend's home. Just because you’re not venturing out doesn’t mean you have to hold back on the sequins, velvet, or faux fur.
And with plenty of events over the next few weeks, it’s fun to step outside your comfort zone and try a look you wouldn't typically wear. Think separates you wouldn’t have thought to assemble, a dressier take on denim, or even bold colors (hello, hot pink!) not usually associated with the holidays.
Pile on the fun with playful details that make your outfit stand out from the crowd. For maximum impact, we recommend mixing and matching your most glam pieces with more casual counterparts (because, if you ask us, sequins and distressed denim are a match made in fashion heaven).
