The Holiday-Party Edit Is Here—Shop Soirée-Ready Looks for Every Festive Occasion

MERT ALAS AND MARCUS PIGGOTT, Vogue, October 2015.

Between the MatchesFashion x Vogue holiday cocktail last night to all the upcoming soirées this festive season holds, you’ll likely need a holiday party outfit—or two. If the fall-winter 2021 runways were any indication, the time has arrived to get dressed up to the nines. Designer collections seemed to hope for some sense of normalcy as we close out the year with celebrations filled with friends and family. So what better opportunity to wear the season’s most opulent feathers, luxe velvets, and, of course, exquisite sequins and shine?

There are festive evening bags, disco-ball-adorned kitten heels, and even a pair of earrings that look like the curly ribbons atop your holiday presents.

Holiday Lights

Add small amounts of sparkle or pearl or gold embellishments to even the simplest holiday party outfits via these drop earrings, beaded necklaces, and hair bows.
