The season of soirées truly deserves at least one lavish look on your social schedule. While we’re smitten with sequins (and really, what fashionista isn’t?), we’ve come across another trend that caught our eye: decadent and delicate patterns. To prove that you can get luxe for less, we rounded up 5 posh prints that won’t dip into your prezzies fund.

    Gilt-y pleasures

    Glittery gold sets the standard for swanky style—and this woven wonder doesn’t disappoint! A sparkling statement necklace polishes it off for a merry match.

     

    Jacquard Metallic-Blend Tube Dress, $33, forever21.com

  • 2lace.jpg

    Graceful in lace

    Maybe it’s the snowflake-inspired pattern, but we can’t imagine a winter party without lace. Keep it classic with a strand of pearls, or add a dash of drama with bold baubles on your wrist.

     

    Lace Flippy Dress, $45, delias.com

  • 3geometry.jpg

    Glitzy geometry

    LBD, meet this year’s most sought-after metallic: rose gold. Darted and dashed with luminous lines, this number deserves an equally stunning clutch.

     

    Mink Pink Vanshing Point Black and Rose Gold Dress, $90, lulus.com

    Nights in blue satin

    Breton sailor stripes can stay on standby ‘til summer shindigs. We’re digging diagonal lines in a sumptuous, silky sheen for your holly jolly get-togethers. Pair with twinkling trinkets for a once-upon-a-starry-night style.

     

    Trixie Satin Stripe V-Neck Dress, $54, nordstroms.com

    Parade in brocade

    Baroque and fabulous fashion is so having a moment right now. Strut your stuff in a festive floral frock and playful pumps.

Play up your frock. Instead of pairing flats or pumps with that summer dress, try adding some edgy boots or sporty sneakers.
