The Perfect: Holiday Dress for 5 Types of Parties

GUESS

Let’s be real: The same dress that’s perfect for a boozy, all-night party with your friends is Not the dress that’s going to be perfect for an afternoon lunch with your extended family. Different invites will have different dress codes. This is a plus factor because it allows for more wardrobe planning. Although you may end up dressing on different ends of the spectrum depending on your obligations (e.g. a micro-hemline for a night with friends, or a more formal silhouette for a meal where grandparents are present), some things will never change. Pick something that feels like you—and makes you feel good. Here are 5 of our top picks from the GUESS holiday line.
