The festive season is the perfect time of year to refresh your look. With a full slate of social events and the sudden, welcome emergence of the summer, we’re in the mood for new-season accessories, great party dresses, and eye-catching after-dark makeup. But we also want to make investments that we’ll wear again and again—pieces that are versatile, and can be easily integrated into multiple looks. On that front, we’ve picked three statement party pieces that can be worn multiple ways. From party dresses that transition from beach to bar, to statement earrings that work for lunch or after-work cocktails, these pieces will work overtime this Christmas season.
REBECCA VALLANCE | $629.00
We love the playful, summery, and unapologetically Christmas-y feel of this red mini dress by Rebecca Vallance. Perfect for end-of-year party season, wear yours with a sculptural mule from Rubi Shoes, statement chandelier drop earrings from Lovisa, and a statement eye, (and top it off with a slim-tailored blazer by Dissh if it cools down in the evening). Then, on a casual Sunday afternoon brunch, style it down with a simple brown leather sandal by Wittner, a straw-style top-handle tote by Camilla and Marc, a glowing bronzed beauty look, and a great pair of sunglasses.

Or, dress it up with a black asymmetrical dress from Bec + Bridge, festive fire engine red sandals from Forever New, and lashings of black mascara. Chic.

For a daytime look, another two-piece set: this time a linen shirt-and-trouser combo by Dissh, with matching statement bow detailing. Just add bold, gold earrings, a great sheer lip gloss, and an embellished purse from Zara.
