Hi all, it’s Caitlin from Wore Out! With less than a week till Christmas we’re in the holiday homestretch and there’s no better time of year to get all gussied up! Cast aside that ugly Christmas sweater and don something a bit more festive for your next holiday party! Downtown Threads has a huge selection of party dresses, whether you’re shopping for a formal frock or a casual classic they have it all.

This two tone silk dress with its subtle polka dot pattern is perfect for any holiday party your attending. The length and cut are classic while the neckline adds the perfect wow factor.

Glam it up: add a pair of textured tights, sexy booties, an attention grabbing clutch and a great shrug/jacket (like above) for the perfect party look

Dress it down: pair with a chunky knit cardigan, classic riding boots and a felt hat for the perfect boho-holiday look for any laid back gathering

This vintage off-white lace dress with real fur trim is what dreams are made of. The Downtown Threads staffers have taken to calling it a “Cinderella dress” because while a number of people have tried it on, it hasn’t been the perfect fit on anyone yet. Maybe this dress is waiting for you?

Glam it up: for a polished party look pair this dress with a classic blazer, nude stockings, gold cuff bracelet and a pair of sparkly gold heels

Dress it down: give this dress an edgy festive feel by adding black moto boots, textured tights, stacks of bangles and a fun leather jacket

The red maxi dress with gold embellishments is hands down one of my favorite pieces at Downtown Threads (and that’s saying a lot). It’s so Sgt. Pepper I can’t even handle it.

Glam it up: this dress is so fabulous all you need is a pair of velvet Mary Janes or gold pumps, smokey eyes and a perfect top knot and you’ll light up any room you enter

Dress it down: keep it casual chic with a faux fur vest, classic heeled black boots and a messy side bun or beachy waves with a gold headband

With a subtly sexy neckline and forgiving ruching that makes indulging a little less guilty this dress is perfect for the holidays. I love how the rich chocolate brown silk catches the light from every angle. The trim on the cute teal jacket matches the dress perfectly and reminds me of something that Heidi of the Alps would wear during the holidays.

Glam it up: break the rules and pair this brown dress with black textured tights, gold pumps and a faux fur wrap or stole

Dress it down: try wearing this dress as a top; layer a maxi or midi skirt over the dress for a more casual look, pair with flats and a colorful clutch

This black cocktail dress is simply stunning in person. It’s everything you love about  80′s fashion without looking dated or tired.

Glam it up: turn up the volume with maroon or gold heels with black opaque stockings and a rich velvet blazer

Dress it down: a pair of smoking slippers in a great print and a cropped sweater give this look a casual feel without loosing any of the wow factor

Winter white can be tricky but don’t let that stop you from trying this gorgeous classic. This white dress has a classic silhouette and subtle detailing that ensures you’ll be able to wear it to holiday parties for years to come.

Glam it up: play up the sparkle in the gold cardigan and pair this dress with gold shoes and maroon tights for a white hot holiday look

Dress it down: swap the gold cardigan for a boyfriend blazer, cozy plaid scarf, and shearling lined ankle boots for the perfect New England chic holiday outfit

Have a safe and chic holiday season!

xoxo, Wore Out & Downtown Threads
