The Perfect Anti-Holiday Dress (You're Welcome)

We have a riddle for you: what is “tasteful,” “festive,” and sits in your closet collecting dust until you eventually take it to Buffalo Exchange? If you guessed holiday dresses, you are correct. It happens year after year. You buy a dress you would never wear outside of a holiday family gathering, only wear it for about four hours max, and throw it in the special occasion graveyard in the back of your wardrobe. 

This is our call to action: stop with the cliché holiday wear. To do this, we’ve gathered up some of our favorite dresses that are the antithesis of those throw-away pieces: edgy, sexy, and oh-so-on-trend. Take a chance this holiday, and when you’re wearing it to a date or a party a couple months after this season is said and done, you’ll thank us.
