A red mini works all year round, as evidenced by Selena's Dior frock worn to the Rudderless premiere. However, a piece like this has special power during the holidays. Everyone will appreciate the look, no matter the silhouette or shade—you're basically a fashionable Santa Clause.

Nothing says holiday more than plaid, check and houndstooth. Perhaps the rectangular and square shapes remind us of presents or the pattern is oftentimes found on thicker material, but feel the festive vibes without looking too costume-y.

Navy Blue Checked Shift Dress, $49
Wear your holiday dress again for New Year's Eve. Sequins and 3-D embellishments are hallmark trends of the season—it's the time of year when being extra is the norm, after all. While metallic sequins are expected, punch things up even more, like Tracee in her JCPenney pink frock, with colorful shine.
Knee-Length Dress, $76
Sequin Dress, $69.90
What does one wear to a holiday work party? You can't reveal too much…or else HR may get involved. You can't be too casual…you want to impress the boss, after all. Take a style cue from Sofia at the SAG-AFTRA Foundation Patron of the Artists Awards and rely on a tuxedo dress. It's at both times sophisticated, chic and you'll have room for dessert.
Double Breasted Dress, $84
Grey Checked Blazer Dress, $55.00
Velvet will forever be a staple of the winter seasons. However, this year, take inspiration from the actress in Elie Saab Couture and opt for dress that features the crushed fabric and another material. The contrast is subtle but elevated.
