The best places to shop for holiday dresses in every price range!

This year I’m extra excited about the holidays! With our new home, we have so much more room to decorate and entertain. We put up our tree and decor the first weekend in November this year and I plan on making the most of this season!

Family gatherings, work events, and holiday parties with friends along with all the glitz and glam of the holiday season.

It’s ready to get dressed up for some of these holidays events! So today I’m sharing some of holiday outfit ideas along with some best places to get holiday dresses that range cheap steals to luxe splurges.

5 Holiday Dresses and Outfits Ideas

I love dressing for the holiday season. Everything just feels a little move fun and festive this time a year!

When it comes to dressing for holiday events, it’s all about adding that little extra something to any outfit. I find detail like lace, sparkle, faux leather, pearls can add to the fun and festivities of the season.

Here are some of my favourite holiday dresses and outfits that I’ve worn over the years to give you an idea of holiday outfits for your upcoming events this season.

Holiday Dress Idea #1
Something Sparkly

The holiday season is the one time of the year you can really bring out all the sparkles. This can be in form of a sparkly dress, blouse or pants. But if you feel like that’s too much, sparkly accessories can also do the trick. Try sparkly clutch, shoes, or hair clips instead!

Whatever you choose though, my personal tip to wearing sparkly items is to stick to just one thing. Let it be the focal point of your outfit to keep the look classy!

If you’re looking for fun sparkly holiday dresses, Boohoo has an amazing selection of them this season! Sequins, metallics and shimmering fabrics that will light up your holiday season!

Holiday Outfit Idea #2:
Something Lacey

You can’t go wrong with something lacy! It’s timeless and elegant and there are so many ways to wear it.

A lace dress like the one above is a great holiday outfit idea for family dinner, while a lace top paired with leather pants and some fun accessories could make a great outfit for an evening out with friends

Both these outfits are from SHEIN, and it’s a great place to shop for affordable holiday dresses and outfits! Especially if you don’t intend on wearing them again next year. They have an amazing dress collection, and so many cute Christmas sweaters and PJs for the whole family!

Holiday Dress Idea #3
Something Velvet

Velvet is another fabric that I love for the holiday season. It has all the cozy feels with a luxe touch for dressing up in.

Holiday Outfit Idea#4
Sweater Dresses

The sweater dress is classic and when you pair it with the season’s hottest colour, you have the winning combo for a holiday outfit.

Sweater dresses make for an easy and comfy holiday outfit with lots of stretch in case you over indulge.

I’m loving the brown trend right now, but if it’s just not a colour for you, I also love classic a red dress for the holidays, or a flattering black dress is always chic too!

Sweater dresses are usually something I like to invest in since I get so many wears out of them. This season I’ve found some amazing sweater dressed from Ever New. The quality is amazing for the price and they have so many elevated styles!

Holiday Dress Idea #5
The Little Black Dress

If you are ever in a outfit bind, I’m sure you have a little black dress in your closet to save you!

The key to making complete the look for any LBD holiday look are the accessories and shoes though so choose wisely.

A pair of pumps are great for dressing up the look, while booties can be a little more fun and edgy. Same goes for your accessories!

Hope these holiday outfits got you inspired for upcoming events!
