With chilly weather and party season in full swing, velvet dresses are the perfect way to up your festive wardrobe game. The luxurious look and cosy feel of velvet make it the ultimate festive dress for Christmas, and when you need a gorgeous frock for nights out, office dos and dinner parties, a velvet dress is just what you need to get into the holiday vibe.
Although you can stick to a classic velvet design, there's another soft, velvety-feeling material that will give your Christmas party dresses an elevated twist – corduroy. High street brand Nobody's Child offers plenty of stunning velvet dress options, but their corduroy selection stands out. It's both soft to touch and gorgeously ribbed in pattern, making it the perfect elevated party look.
The range includes everything from mini dresses to cool co-ords that are all perfect additions to your winter wardrobe, and if you're looking to make a stylish nod to Christmas, why not pick a velvet dress in rich shades of red, navy blue, or emerald green?
Nobody's Child's cotton Starlight maxi dress was a big hit over the summer, and now it's been given a festive, winter-ready makeover with its cord material and range of rich, elegant colours. The Cord Starlight Long Sleeve Mini Dress, £75 here, has gathered puff sleeves and a panelled waist that gives it a dramatic and flattering silhouette – and it even has pockets.
The dress comes in green, navy and black, and you can pair it with polka-dot leggings, Mary Jane pumps and a trending oversized hair bow to create a cute outfit for dinner dates, or brave a bare leg and a kitten heel for your next Christmas party.
If you're looking for something slightly more casual that'll see you through days out, Christmas markets and festive brunches is the Claudette Pinny Mini Dress, £65 here, which is proving to be a firm favourite with shoppers as its already starting to sell out in multiple sizes.
It has two patch pockets and buttons up the front, making it suitable for everyday wear, and you can layer it with a thermal top or a thin roll-neck jumper and chunky ankle boots, or pair it with loafers and socks and an oversized coat for an ultra-fashionable look.
Last but not least, the Red Velvet Jolene Mini Dress, £69 here, may not be corduroy, but it is the Christmas party dress to end all Christmas party dresses with its luxe-looking velvet finish, fluted sleeves and dramatic bow at the back. It's perfect for parties, and if you're brave enough to face the cold, you can show off your legs with some sparkly heels for some added festive glamour.
It's already proving to be a sell out sensation, though, with only a size 10 left in stock, However Joanie Clothing's Bellisima Velvet Ruffle Mini Dress, £75 here, is the perfect alternative and would make a stunning outfit for Christmas Day.
