What Is Trending in Christmas Dresses This Season?
You don’t have to be dressed in bright red to look Christmas-ready. And there are many other colors and styles to choose from.
Winter party choices include burgundy, dark cherry, emerald green and navy. If you’re into a little sparkle, styles in gold, silver and sequins are worth checking out.
Each has its own use. Burgundy is a formal color, so it’s a good choice for formal dinners. Satin is a good choice for cocktail hour because it’s a smooth fabric. Sequins are a good choice for formal events because they’re made with fabrics that reflect light. Velvet is also a good choice for winter because it’s a thick fabric. When it comes to fabric choices, decide on a trend and stick to it. Don’t try to incorporate every detail into one look.
Here are the four most popular trends.
Sequin Dresses
For evenings out, sequin dresses are always a good choice. For more fun, more casual evenings, a shorter dress can work. A good rule of thumb for formal events is to wear a dress that is long enough to touch the ground.
When trying on sequin dresses, be sure to check the lining, because it can sometimes be rough. Rough linings can cause irritation. Because of the texture of the fabric, keep your accessories simple.
Velvet Dresses
A velvet dress can add a nice touch for the holidays. For more casual evenings, a midi dress can work. For formal evenings, a long dress is always a good choice.
Because velvet retains warmth, a dress with a short or sleeveless design would probably be a better choice for a large, indoor event.
Red and Burgundy Dresses
Red is commonly worn during the holidays. Bright reds are noticed the most. However, burgundy, wine reds, and dark cherries are nice alternatives to regular reds.
During a formal celebration, try a long red formal dress with simple metallic accessories. For less formal celebrations, you can still wear a red dress; just wear a midi or short red dress.
Satin Dresses
Satin is a good fabric for formal occasions. It has a good surface and works well for embellishments. It is also a good choice for those who do not like to wear heavy outfits.
Satin is smooth but clings to your body and will easily show creases. Make sure to check the fit of the waist and hips and look for natural lines in the fabric.
