The prospect of deciding what to wear to a holiday party can be a daunting task. However, when you break it down, it actually becomes simple math. For instance, take this wrap dress, add this statement necklace, add a gorgeous heel and don't forget to multiply the hot factor with a great lipstick and it equals to effortless style! 

We broke down 5 stunning and attention grabbing outfits for easy, trendy holiday party style: 
 
All That Glitters 

When you know you're going to be dancing on tables, try a fabulously sparkly dress and pair with metallics for an eye catching outfit. Don't forget a bright red lip for a come hither look.

The Quintessential LBD 

This outfit is going to be the biggest bang for your buck! If you don't already have a little black dress in your closet, invest in one. I love a good wrap because it's universally flattering on every figure. Pair it with some bold coloured accessories like a great statement necklace or a clutch and add a patterned pump for a bit of fun. You can create a million different looks simply by switching up the accessories.

Red Hot Mrs. Claus 

Looking to have a moment under the mistletoe this holiday? I can pretty much guarantee that'll happen in this hot number. The sweetheart neckline is super seductive and flattering. Plus, red can be paired with any basic pump or accessory you may have and it'll still look like you're out to impress. 
 
 
1. Banana Republic L'Wren Scott Collection Sweetheart Dress (C$175.00)
2. Dior Diorific Lipstick in Diva (C$40.00)
3. Mimosa Houndstooth Pump (C$79.98, on sale at Browns) 
4. Banana Republic Jaguar Bracelet (C$50.00)
 

Business on Top, Party on Bottom
 
Instead of doing the same ol' this holiday season, switch it up with a funky skirt and bootie combo. I like the addition of a blazer which makes the outfit a little edgier. 
 
 
1. Club Monaco Eli Tuxedo Pleat Silk Shirt (C$149.50)
2. NARS Lipstick in Schiap (C$30.00) 
3. H&M Dinner Jacket (C$39.95) 
4. Joe Fresh Sequin Fringe Skirt (C$29.00)
5. NastyGal Shoe Cult Strut Cutout Bootie (US$120.00)


Dinner Party Dapper 

For family or office dinners, subtle and sophisticated is the name of the game. A V-neck dress with full skirt gives great curves without being too sexy. Opt for a softer pink lipstick and show off your fashion forward style with an attention grabbing shoe instead.
