Holiday parties are probably already filling up your calendars during this feel-good time of the year and if it isn’t one with a theme whereby ugly sweaters are involved, it’s usually filled with sparkles, dresses, and bubbly. Each opportunity to mingle comes with a different dress code, and you surely do not want to risk a holiday breakdown due to the frustrations that come with getting ready. Here are 5 looks, classified by the type of holiday party:
The edgy metallic midi skirt offsets the femininity of the off-shoulder bodysuit and this combo is perfect for impressing your SO’s parents or showing up at family affairs without looking overdone or too eccentric.
