the dressChic simplicity can be easily taken in several stylish directions, which is what we’re doing with this sleeveless Steven Alan dress . The luxe black textured frock goes above and beyond your average LBD and can be styled to suit whatever you’re doing this season.
Office party
The office party is where you want to look professional, but still put together a look that says “holiday.” Skip the red and green and instead add a little subtle glitter to the look with a skinny belt that will also add a new element to the dress. Step into some suede pumps, throw on a light cardigan and top everything off with a statement cocktail ring for an effortless approach to your office holiday soiree.

Date night
Dress to impress on any date around holiday time by choosing accessories that get noticed. Whether you and your guy head to a favorite bistro or try a swanky new spot you’ve been waiting to try, you can easily take your dress to the next level with a cool, get-noticed clutch, statement necklace with a hint of holiday color and pumps that were made to turn heads. Trust us — he’ll be putty in your hands in no time!

Holiday dinner
Whether with your family or his, putting together a suitably seasonal look can be easy when you start with an LBD as your base.

Complete the dinner party look with a dazzling pair of drop earrings.
