Best Holiday 2014 looks by Michael Kors

As the holiday season hits its stride, the party invites come piling in. From casual cocktails to sumptuous soirées and an all-out New Year’s Eve celebration, there are so many reasons to dress up. But what to wear everywhere? With so many options— sparkle and lace, prints and little black dresses–ensemble planning can get a little complicated. Enter our glam guide to party dressing that will ensure you look chic, whatever the occasion.

The office party:
For an after-work fête pick a look that’s festive yet polished and can easily go from day to dinner. A dress in an eye-catching print, like a red-haute leopard, will stand out in a crowd. Accessorize with a crossbody that’ll hold all your essentials and a pair of heels to elevate the whole ensemble.

The Cocktail party:
An evening on the town calls for pieces with presence. Our favorite pairing is a sleek lace top teamed with high-waist shorts and serious heels. A red lip instantly gives the look a dressed-up vibe and a miniature metallic clutch is just the sought-after sizzling extra that cocktail hour is all about.

The Penthouse party:
When heading to a soirée with a view, wear something statement-making. We’re partial to a fringed dress with an asymmetrical hem that flatters all figures. Add an on-trend bucket back dusted with sparkle and a pavé timepiece for the perfect finishing touch.
