When dressing for the holidays who doesn’t want to look a little sexy? But the big quesiton is what is age-apporpiate and how far do you go when it comes to looking classy and not trashy?
This got us thinking and we wanted to remind all of you that one shoulder dresses are excellent for parties during the holiday season. They’re sexy without showing too much and very elegant too. The one shoulder style looks best if you have average to wide shoulders but stay away from them if you have small shoulders and wide hips (pear shape).
The good news is that you won’t have to spend extra dollars on accessories. Let the dress be the star and you’ll need are some pretty dangle earrings.
Here are a few styles we found that would look gorgeous on most body types this festive season:
Shiney Satin Seduction: This knock-out dress needs no necklace since it already has some bling at the waist. The shiney satin fabric says “elegant”! This dress works for a holiday party or year round! By David Meister (Saks)
Simple Draping Can Hide Holiday Sins:Picture yourself in this rich burgundy drape. Have another cookie, it won’t show! Alice and Olivia
