The holiday season calls for outfits that are a little more festive and formal than your everyday ensembles. One easy way to accomplish a more dressed-up look this holiday season is to stock up on velvet dresses, a holiday-ready fabric that’s timeless and gets chicer every year.
Today we’re sharing an assortment of styles from little black dresses in the luxe material to long-sleeve options with the chicest details sure to keep you warm. Whether you plan to style the dress with statement heels and earrings or a pair of cool (and comfortable) block-heel boots with layers of gold necklaces, these are the dresses to have on our radar—we already do.
To make your holiday shopping easy, we’ve browsed our favorite sites to bring you the best selection of velvet holiday dresses available this season. Scroll below to shop your favorites.
