These are the party outfits you’ll want to dance around the house in this Christmas

Staying in and dancing around your kitchen is the new party season this year — these are the costumes you’ll want to add to the stringent guest list.

Forget the most popular c-word this year for a second, it’s time to be joyful and speak about Christmas instead. Though we won’t be attending work parties and gatherings as normal, it doesn’t imply party season is canceled. Far from it, in fact.

We’ve liked spending time in cozy loungewear and pajamas but we all need an excuse to get dressed up, and what better cause than the Christmas season? Whether you’re hosting a party in the kitchen with your roommates or dancing around the lounge with your live-in loved ones, the Stylist fashion team has compiled a sleek selection of things you’ll want to wear for the occasion – from bold sequins and satin to dazzling jewels and swishy skirts.

Follow fashion blogger Ellie from @slipintostyle’s example and liven up the home with contrasting glossy colors of purple and ochre with a splash of vintage rhinestones like she has. ‘More is more’ applies in party season, so make the most of it and go all out. The fail-safe approach to dress is by merging quality materials such as satin, organza, and sequins with exquisite jewels and deep wintery tones.

For more inspiration go to actress Tracee Ellis Ross, who illustrated how to achieve the ultimate at-home Insta shot with her extra sequin, feather, and heels combination in the bath. The nicest thing about getting dressed up to stay in is you don’t have to wait for a ride home, the fridge is closed at all times, and if your heels pain, you can kick them off in exchange for your favorite slippers.

Shop the party dresses to dance about the house in this year, and take out and about in the future.
