Christmas dresses tend to be a little less edgy than New Year’s Eve frocks. I also like to spend a bit more on standing out.

The party dress that has me dying is by Philosophy di Alberta Ferretti. A brand known for being fresh, while still being sophisticated and refined.

This satin brocade, strapless dress is brilliant. The punch of pink on top of grey! And the best part was that it is ultra sexy on it’s own, but then after NYE you can get more mileage with layering and playful combos.

“A holiday dress used to be enough, but now it’s just a starting point because people are really layering their dressing,” Ms. Easley of Kirna Zabête said. “The dress that goes to a holiday party on Thursday night might go to the office on Friday with a pair of leggings and Lanvin flat boots, or with a Balenciaga turtleneck under it.” [Source: NY Times].
