It’s all about getting noticed this Christmas with metallic materials, delicate lace and lashings of sequins. With the perfect combination of sexy and elegant, bold and chic, these top five dresses will help you stand out during the holidays.

 

TopshopTonal Metallic Zig-Zag Dress | Topshop

This tonal zig-zag dress is selling out fast this December at Topshop. Incorporating the high neckline that was a big A/W trend, it teams 70s shapes with a futuristic pattern. It also has a really flattering waistline, which is perfect for those wanting to highlight their petite waist or show off their curves. Although Topshop suggests wearing knee high boots with this dress, it looks a little clunky, so go for chunky black heels instead.

Price: £58
You can find the dress here.

 

 

 

Urban Outfitters VelvetVelvet Skater Dress | Urban Outfitters

Velvet is the perfect winter material, so you really can’t go wrong having a decent velvet piece in your Christmas wardrobe. Urban Outfitters stock this beautiful emerald green skater dress for a mere £39. Its halter-neck and flared skirt add a feminine touch, whilst the plunging back gives it that extra edge. If you struggle with wearing heels, then you’re in luck because this dress would look pretty with flats.

Price: £39

American ApparelMetallic Tunic Dress | American Apparel

Looking for a simple yet effective design? American Apparel’s gunmetal tunic will suit all body shapes and sizes as its loose fit pairs comfort with style. Its scoop neckline at the back transforms the dress from casual to party-wear, making it suitable for any type of soiree this festive season, whether it be drinks with the girls or date night with your other half. Buying this ethereal shimmering piece is a must this December.

Price: £36

ASOSLace Maxi Dress | ASOS

If you’ve got a fancy Christmas party to attend then this John Zack Petite maxi dress is good option. The cut-out back is stunning and its dainty lace design lends itself to dressing up what would otherwise be quite a basic piece. The boat neckline and lace bodice are provocative but the floaty contrast skirt softens the shape of the dress for a timeless look. At just £48 it’s an absolute steal.

Price: £48

Urban Outfitters LBDLBD | Urban Outfitters

It’s back to Urban Outfitters for a classic little black dress from resident designer Silence and Noise. The front of the dress is minimalist and smart with a figure-hugging fit, but don’t be misled into thinking it’s a bit basic and dull. The panelled back with geo cut-outs gives the classic, staple black dress a modern twist. Add a statement necklace and you’re good to go.

Price: £49
You can find the dress here.
