These are the most in demand designer party dresses to wear to every festive do in your diary (2024)

We adore the high street but sometimes the extra glow designer party dresses will give you is *so* worth the extra spend. And for every night out or daytime festivity you have planned this month - and beyond - we have found the ultimate designer party dresses for you. Honestly, you’re welcome.

Although don’t think that designer dresses have to equal four figure sums. Obviously we have some wishlist-worthy investment buys in our edit (you might be on the Very Good List this year) but there are also several options under £300 that we’re proud to have scouted out.

If you compare prices on the upper end of the high street - these are bargains, believe us.

Simon Porte Jacquemus remains one of the most influential designers of the moment and his shocking pink square neck dress is one of our favourites for making a festive impact. Bottega Veneta’s draped halter neck dress in deep teal also adds a joyful pop of colour to a dark evening.

As do sequins, obvs. Rixo’s sequin mini-dress is a dazzling multi-colour joy while Michael Michael Kors‘ silver dress is made from recycled tulle so it’s sustainable as well as stunning. Staud’s maxi dress has trending cut-out details and Nensi Dojaka’s cut-out mini-dress - the brand behind all our favourite A Lister’s sexiest dresses this season - will be a cult buy. The little black dress reigns as the most versatile option with plenty of dress up - and down - appeal. Raey’s lace-tie silk slip dress will be a forever investment.

Oh, and if you’re looking for some fabulous party heels to go with your new designer party dress, we’ve got you covered. If you need a clutch bag or sparkly jewellery ideas, we’ve got those too… So the only thing left to do is browse our edit of the best 21 designer party dresses for Christmas and New Year 2021 and choose your plus one.
