There are a handful of things you can always expect to find at a holiday party: a playlist filled with Top 40 hit remixes, a very line at the coat check, and plenty of sparkly dresses. In the age of KiraKira, it’s all the more enticing to deck yourself out, head-to-toe, in sequins for any and every festive occasion. It’s proven to be a timeless trend—brands like Halpern, Gucci, and Oscar de la Renta still use this type of embellishment liberally. But thanks to designers like Molly Goddard and Maria Grazia Chiuri’s Dior, the fashion crowd has recently started to warm up to tulle as a party-dress alternative (or, if you’re Rihanna, for a casual Tuesday). The sheer fabric is sexy in a subversive way; it dulls down colors you might normally consider too bright or saturated to wear, making them much more accessible. And, more importantly in the winter time, it’s great for layering: over white T-shirt and jeans, under an oversized knit, or with a few jackets and coats on New Year’s Eve. Come around to tulle dressing right as you make the final call on what parties you’re actually going to this season. Here are 10 ideas to get those wardrobing juices flowing.
