12 Christmas Party Outfit Trends to Try in 2024

Now that Halloween has been and gone, it seems only right to shift our focus to the next fashionable frivolities on the agenda. Yes, as we are fly through November, the Christmas countdown is on. As the party invites flood (or trickle…) in, you know it only makes sense to start getting the cost per wear down on any festive fashion additions you plan on making already. And in fact, the biggest party drops happened just this past week, so it’s prime time to make any choice purchases. Before making any hasty decisions though, let’s discuss the Christmas party outfit trends we expect to see shimmying on the dance floor this year.

Of course, it doesn’t make sense to make any one wear purchases, so below you will find mostly the trends you are already wearing for Autumn/Winter. Luckily, many of them just so happen to be perfect for party season this year. Or, the recurring Christmas party themes that will make just as much sense now as ever. Velvet and sequins never get old my friend. But if you want to try something new, how about a burgundy twist on the classic red, studs instead of sequins, or a party skirt instead of a party dress? For all the festive outfit inspiration you need this year, here are the 12 Christmas party outfit trends to try in 2024…
