The holiday season is quickly approaching and it is time for all of us to go out an pick the perfect dresses for the office parties, family get togethers, and other seasonal social events. The big trends in cocktail dresses this year are sparkles and bold prints. Both can be difficult to pull off, so you need to be careful when selecting a dress.
Try to find a dress that is still a flattering fit for your body type and a good color for your skin tone. There is nothing worse than walking around like an ugly disco ball while dresses in sequins or looking like a fat lady in an oversized printed moo-moo. Make sure that you choose a dress that you feel comfortable in because you will be wearing it to look your best. You want to feel at ease in the dress so you are not fidgeting and fussing the entire night. If sequins and bold prints are too much for you to handle you can incorporate it into your holiday look by wearing a dress that has sequins accents or a more monochromatic print.
