It’s also the event that has us stressing over exactly which said party shoes will match our carefully curated outfit.

Christmas Day is all about the loose flowy dresses, optimal for maximum festive food consumption, but New Year’s is all about fun.

Whether you’re wanting to channel as much glitz as possible (without resembling the disco ball you kept in your room as a teen) or you’re looking for low-key glamour, we’ve rounded up the best party dresses below.

The LBD

Dress it up or dress it down, the little black dress is a timeless choice that you can almost always guarantee you’ll wear again. After all, there’s nothing we love more than a versatile day-to-night option that gives us glamour and bang for our buck.
