From holiday office parties to New Year’s Eve galas, to help you look sensational this season, here are 25 gorgeous holiday party dresses under $300.

Whether you’re shopping for a glamorous cocktail dress bedazzled with shimmering sequins or you’re on the hunt for a feminine dress that’d be appropriate for Christmas Mass with the family or Hanukkah with the in-laws, featured below are an assortment of affordable holiday party dresses that won’t break the bank.

Holiday Party Dresses for Office Parties

To ensure you look work-appropriate, but still raise the bar on your style, here are several dresses that are suitable for wearing to a holiday office party. The key to dressing for a work party is to keep the silhouette tasteful and sophisticated, yet to add a little flair through a fun, eye-catching print. Remember to keep the hemline work-friendly (which means no shorter than 2″ above the knee), and opt for figure-flattering shapes that don’t look too provocative (a.k.a. “body-skimming”).

Holiday Party Dresses for Christmas & Hanukkah

Choosing a dress that’s ideal to wear for Christmas, Hanukkah, or another religious holiday can be tricky. While you want to feel festive, it’s advisable to opt for more conservative designs (which means no strapless tops or skimpy silhouettes). Look for classic fit-and-flare or sheath dresses, which are not only flattering on most women’s figures, but also appropriate to wear on these special occasions.

Holiday Party Dresses for New Year’s Eve

When it comes to New Year’s Eve, finding the right holiday party dress all depends on where you’re going. If you’re heading to a black tie gala affair, then dress to the nines in a chic and sophisticated gown. If you’re planning to toast to the New Year at a swanky nightclub or fashionable party, light up the night in a glitzy cocktail dress. Remember – there’s no such thing as ‘too much glam’ on New Year’s Eve. Be bold and make a striking statement that night!
