Banana Republic's "Party Shop" Makes Holiday Dressing Easy — Here Are the 25 Best Pieces

Every editorial product is independently selected by our editors. If you buy something through our links, we may earn commission.

There's no rulebook for holiday party dressing, but if there were, we'd be willing to guess what might be in it. The best holiday party clothes usually feature a handful of festive textures — from velvet to glitter and satin to silk; they're sleek and a little sultry, and of course, they feel undeniably fancy, too. If you're extra strategic with the pieces you buy, they can be reworn — well into the New Year and beyond. How are we doing so far?

Come Winter, finding pieces that fit the bill isn't necessarily a difficult task, but finding everything you need in one place can pose a bit more of a challenge. Thankfully, Banana Republic is up for the task. This year, its website features a helpful "Party Shop" section brimming with gorgeous textures and stunning seasonal shades.

To save you valuable time as you gear up for the holidays — buying gifts, party planning, or whatever else you may be up to — we've narrowed down the 25 best pieces. Including everything from dresses to tops to shiny accessories, keep scrolling to see what we found.
