This Holiday Outfit Idea Is Genius — And It Features This Versatile Dress

Holiday outfit shopping can feel somewhat counterintuitive. Slipping into an ultra-glitzy, occasion-oriented dress is great in theory — especially if you tend to shop with your IG feed at top of mind. Once the day is done, however, that dress winds up in one of three places: the back of your closet, the "donate" pile, or on your Mercari page. There's no need to go through the same motions again this year — especially when there's tons of holiday dresses you'll want to re-wear time and time again, long after the season has come and gone.

Ahead, TZR's rounding out the top eight silhouettes that fashion insiders are shopping right from influencers' grids. What you'll notice across the board is a focus on sleek, timeless details — Herve Leger's always-chic bandage dresses and Nisse's "Electra" dress, both of which come in a warm, soothing terracotta hue. Fans of With Jéan's Andy dress (Elsa Hosk included) will relish its holiday-readied alternate: the "Stevie," whose slight shimmer makes it the perfect festive frock for all your celebrations, whether virtual or IRL.
