Which Erdem dress should you wear to a Christmas party?

Choose velvet for warmth and depth, sequins for sparkle, and cloque jacquard when you want texture without shine.

All three fabrics photograph well under low light, which matters at a party. Velvet absorbs light and looks rich in candlelit rooms. Sequins catch every bulb on the tree. Cloque jacquard has a rippled surface that throws soft shadows, so it looks dressed up without any glitter at all.

What should you wear to an office Christmas party?

For the office party, a midi dress with sleeves is the safest strong choice: dressed up enough for the occasion, covered enough for colleagues.

The Embellished Velvet Midi Dress is the one to know. It is crafted from rich cotton velvet in navy, with crystal embroidery tracing a floral motif at the V-neckline and a slim bow belt at the fitted waist. The fit and flare cut, short sleeves and full lining make it easy to wear from the last meeting to the bar.

If you prefer separates, the Sequin Long Sleeve Shirt in Bordeaux is a georgette shirt covered in sequins, with a lapel collar, mother of pearl buttons and a removable floral brooch. Tuck it into the Satin Cady Midi Skirt, a black pencil skirt with a fluid satin face, a matte crepe reverse and visible zig-zag topstitching. The sparkle stays on top, the skirt keeps the outfit grounded. Our guide on how to style a sequin shirt covers tucking, buttoning and layering in detail.

What should you wear to a Christmas dinner?

For a seated dinner, pick a dress that looks good from the waist up and lets you sit comfortably for hours.

The Cloque Jacquard Midi Dress in forest green does both. Its cloque jacquard has a subtle, rippled texture, the straight neckline frames the collarbones, and the slim bow belt marks the waist. It is sleeveless and fully lined, with a centre back zip. To understand why the surface looks blistered, see our explainer on jacquard dresses.

For a more relaxed dinner at home, try the Velvet Draped Midi Skirt with the Velvet Bralette. The skirt is structured navy velvet, fitted at the waist and flaring gently to the hem. The bralette is cotton velvet with a sweetheart neckline and embroidered grosgrain straps trailing from each shoulder. Worn together they read as a column of navy; add a fine knit over the bralette if the room runs cold.

What should you wear on New Year’s Eve?

New Year’s Eve is the night for full sequins, so commit to one piece that sparkles and keep everything else simple.

The Floral Applique Sequin Draped Midi Dress is decorated with sequins throughout, with a draped neckline, long sleeves, an internal side split and textured corsages at the shoulder and waist.

For a slimmer line, the Floral Applique Sequin Midi Pencil Dress is cut from sequinned georgette with a V-neckline, short sleeves, a centre back split and a corsage at the waist.

If you would rather dance past midnight in trousers, the Sequin Pyjama Trouser has a wide leg, a fitted mid-rise waist and side seam pockets, and it pairs with the Sequin Long Sleeve Shirt in Forest Green for a sequin-on-sequin look, worn loose with the brooch pinned at the collar.

Which Erdem gown suits a black tie Christmas party?

For black tie, choose floor length: the Cloque Jacquard Draped Gown for texture, the sequin gown for shine.

The Cloque Jacquard Draped Gown has a draped neckline, cap sleeves and a floor-length skirt, with a matching bow belt to keep the silhouette slim. The Floral Applique Sequin Long Sleeve Gown is embroidered throughout with forest green sequins, draped through the body and finished with a textured corsage at the waist and a centre back split. Both sit in our edit of evening gowns, and our Erdem gowns guide compares them with the wider evening offer.

What should you wear over a party dress in winter?

Wear a coat long enough to cover the hem, then add a short evening jacket for inside if the venue is cool.

A midi dress needs a coat that reaches at least the knee, so the hem does not hang below it in the cold. Oversized wrap shapes slide over sequins without snagging and leave room for draping. Browse our designer coats for long, roomy options.

Indoors, the Embellished Velvet Cropped Evening Jacket is the Holiday 2027 answer. It is velvet with a loose, cropped fit, a crew neck, wide cropped sleeves and front buttons, and it is fully lined. Because it ends above the waist, it shows off the bow belt on the velvet and cloque dresses.

Which shoes and bag go with an Erdem party dress?

Keep shoes sleek and bags small: the dress does the talking.

• With velvet midis, wear a pointed pump with a moderate heel; velvet and suede look rich together.
• With sequin dresses, choose a plain satin sandal, since metallic shoes compete with the sparkle.
• With floor-length gowns, a slim strappy sandal keeps the hem moving freely.
• For dancing, a block heel lasts longer than a stiletto.
• For the bag, the Micro Bloom Bag in Black Velvet has a gold-toned flower bud handle made by lost wax casting, a chain, a petal-shaped magnetic closure and kid suede lining. Our Bloom bag guide explains every size.

How should an Erdem party dress fit?

Erdem follows UK sizing and most fit notes read fits true to size, so start with your usual UK size.

Sequinned and velvet dresses have little stretch, so check the bust and waist against the chart, and remember that a party dress needs room to sit, eat and dance. Relaxed shapes like the sequin shirts and the cropped evening jacket are cut loose by design. For conversions, see the Erdem size guide.

Coveti ships Erdem worldwide from UAE and Australia hubs by DHL Express and FedEx International Priority, insured and signed for, so plan your party order early in the season.

Frequently asked questions

What are the popular colours for a Christmas party dress?

Deep jewel tones lead the season. Erdem’s Holiday 2027 pieces come in forest green, navy velvet and bordeaux sequins, all of which look rich under low party lighting.

What should you wear to a work Christmas party?

A midi dress with sleeves is the safest strong choice. The Erdem Embellished Velvet Midi Dress, with short sleeves and crystal embroidery at the V-neckline, is festive while staying polished.

Is velvet appropriate for New Year’s Eve?

Yes. Velvet suits New Year’s Eve, especially at dinners and indoor parties. Add sparkle with a sequin piece, a crystal neckline and a velvet evening bag.

What is the difference between a Christmas party dress and a New Year’s Eve dress?

Christmas party dresses tend to be warmer and more covered, in velvet and cloque. New Year’s Eve dresses lean into sequins and shine, since the night runs later and the dancing lasts longer.

What should you wear over a party dress in winter?

Wear a coat long enough to cover the hem, ideally an oversized wrap that slides over sequins. Indoors, a cropped velvet evening jacket adds warmth without hiding the waist.

How do you choose the right size for an Erdem party dress?

Erdem follows UK sizing and most fit notes read fits true to size, so start with your usual UK size. Sequinned and velvet pieces have little stretch, so check the bust and waist measurements first.
