After spending last year inside, we’re making the most of the festive season (while respecting health measures and physical distancing rules, of course)! To get in the mood, we’re inviting our loved ones around to celebrate, get out the champagne flutes and put on our most beautiful glamorous look, which we’ll accessorize with ankle boots or chic pumps and a pretty pair of earrings. In our ideal wardrobe, we’re sharing these 10 party dresses that are perfect for celebrating the 2021 holiday season in style, whether you’re having a Christmas dinner, an office party or a drunken New Year’s Eve celebration.
