12 Holiday Party Dresses That Won't Make You Look Like a Christmas Tree

Picking the perfect outfit for a holiday party can induce the same amount of stress as, say, choosing the perfect present for your best friend. Fishing that classic LBD out of your closet during the holidays seems less than festive, yet the danger of being confused with the tinsel decorating your tree by overdosing on metallic accents is equally perturbing. In order to take the hassle out of holiday shopping, we scoured our favorite online shopping destinations and pulled together outfit options for every holiday fête.

Pour yourself a hot toddy, sit back, and let us introduce you to 12 of our favorite looks for your next soiree.
