this December—in festive hues, of course.
Rock the Red
It
may seem obvious, but red is one of the most cheerful colors for the holidays.
It definitely draws attention in a crowded room. Wanna stand out? Try our
picks:
This
color screams Christmas! The belt detail makes it incredibly sophisticated and
is flattering on almost any shape. It also comes in navy if you wanna show off
your Chanukah pride.

This
swingy frock is the epitome of a party dress. Paired with gold jewelry and
pointy pumps, the look would be flawless.

Go for the Green
Red
is often the more dominant color when it comes to Christmas but don’t be afraid
to deviate from what everyone else is wearing and go for a bright shade of
green. The best part about getting a green dress? You can wear it after the
holidays and it won’t look out of place.
A
dropwaist dress is über-flattering on babes with shorter torsos. Try adding a
major statement necklace and a couple cool cocktail rings to jazz things up.

Greensleeves
A
silky long-sleeved shirtdress can go casual for fun family gatherings with a
pair of tall boots. Add a ladylike watch and you’re set to impress!

Major Metallics
Silver
and gold are a major trend this season. And besides, who doesn’t love a li’l
extra sparkle? Score one of these stunners and top it off with a cute cardi for
dinner, then re-wear it for New Year’s with some whoa-worthy shoes!
Seeing stripes
Stripes
are everywhere lately--but sequin stripes really hit a high note. Love!

Frosted flowers
What
could be sweeter than sequined flowers? A fit ‘n’ flare silhouette seriously
flatters all shapes—and you’ll look prettier than a sugarplum fairy.
