Due to the ongoing pandemic, there will be no big blow out bashes on New Year's Eve and Christmas Week parties will most likely be about socially distanced sit-down dinners with family. A beautiful dinner deserves to be accompanied by beautiful clothes. The fail-safe option is a smart LBD, a pair of heels, some statement jewelry and a clutch. But with it being the holiday season, black can be a little somber for this time of the year.

Red and green are the traditional colours, with few jewel tones this time of year: amethyst purple, sapphire blue, ruby red and emerald green. Fabrics can be more decadent something like a silk velvet or a duchess satin, they have a sheen that spells festivity and yet is very understated.The most important is the Dresses at dinner parties need to be "sitting friendly".,  not too short and not too low cut. 

Regarding sleeves, there are a lot of butterfly and kimono sleeves in fashion right now you don't want your cuff to fall into the gravy boat by mistake. A statement piece of jewelry always adds to the look, be it a cocktail ring, a great pair of hoops or a stand out neckpiece. It is okay to jingle a bit at this time of year.
