In the last few weeks, my calendar has started to fill up with events. After a long time dressing fairly casually—and a wardrobe now heavily stocked with joggers, bike shorts and slouchy jeans—I’ve had to remind myself about how to get dressed up again. It turns out I’m not alone, because recently, I’ve had friends texting me about the festive parties and weddings on their calendars and asking about which dresses I’d recommend adding to their carts.

With that in mind, I put together a list of the best pieces to order, ranging from designer cocktail dresses to affordable finds that are primed for party season. Whether you’re after a classic satin slip, a feather-adorned piece or a barely there dress finished with cut-outs or floss straps, I’ve got you covered. Ahead, shop the best dresses of the season. I promise it’s a good time.

Next, the "naked" dresses celebrities are going wild for.
