The December calendar is quickly filling up with holiday parties, from cheesy office gatherings (the kind you’d rather skip!) to black-tie dinners and all-night New Year’s Eve parties. ’Tis the season for holiday glitz, glamour, and three-dimensional sparkle, especially after a few years of “less is more” party dressing. Rotate is a new, affordable line for party girls that’s sure to be a hit this holiday season, and then there are Michael Halpern’s flashy, disco-inspired minidresses for Topshop, which are guaranteed to sell out even before your first glass of eggnog.

If minis aren’t your thing, though, take a cue from Kate Middleton and try a classic polka-dot midi dress by Alessandra Rich. And who ever said an LBD has to be your boring backup? For Restless Sleepers made next-level black silk pajamas, or you can pick up Staud’s mod number for less than $200. There’s truly something for everyone this season; below, we found the 50 best party dresses for every personality and budget.
