This is the time of year to dress up, go out, and celebrate. Whether the celebration calls for business casual or black tie, Ivan Young has edited a selection of the best high-end evening wear and luxury party dresses for you to turn heads in this season.

Black Tie

A black-tie dress code means it’s time to bring out the crème de la crème of high-end evening wear. Figure skimming or flowy are both more than welcome but it should always be glamorous and full length, and most importantly full of whimsy and sparkle to usher in this festive season.

Festive

If the theme of the evening is festive, then let loose and have some fun with your outfit. Pick something that would suit a cocktail or semi-formal dress code, but with a holiday twist to it. Color is key to setting the mood here, plus come December who can resist a flash of red, a touch of verdant green or the sparkle of white? Add plenty of glittery accessories to your luxury party dress and you’re ready to celebrate.

Cocktail

A Christmas cocktail dress code calls for a luxury party dress that falls anywhere between midi to mini length, opt for something quintessentially sleek and sophisticated and you will never go wrong. Be it beading that’s as delicate and intricate as a winter snowflake, or elegant gift-bow embellished options, there are a myriad of season appropriate styles to celebrate in.

Business Casual

The business casual dress code doesn’t necessarily mean you have to show up in stiff business attire, but one should still take special care to dress appropriately without being overly formal. For the perfect networking party look there’s no bigger power move than tailored suiting with high-end evening wear touches like an embellished waistcoat, a trench dress tailored in silk satin, or a matching blazer and trouser set in a vivid color with couture accessories.
