Instead of dresses: These two-piece outfits and sets are back in style for the festive season.

Sets are the trend update for the festive season of 2025 and beyond.

As invitations pile up during the festive season, one party dress sometimes simply isn't enough. Don't just think of the classic mini or midi dress ; instead, opt for a two-piece set or one of the popular skirt-and-sweater combinations. A chic ensemble consisting of a top and matching skirt or trousers is ideal for turning heads at your next party. From shimmering sequins to elegant velvet combinations, this season's festive fashion is easy to mix and match, ensuring a glamorous appearance whether at a cocktail party or a dinner.

Once you've found your favorite look, you're guaranteed a stylish statement, especially with such a diverse selection of beautiful outfits. Besides sequined fashion, the labels also offer a wide range of textured designs, including the luxurious jacquard combination from Saloni. If you prefer suits to skirts, then opt for the velvety two-piece in the trendy color brown from COS or a classic black suit from Zara. For dazzling moments that last well past midnight, choose the sequined styles from Rabanne and Norma Kamali.

When it comes to styling, festive outfits are best completed with matching accessories . Eye-catching statement earrings, a pair of embellished high heels or sandals, and a sequined clutch are ideal. This winter, skip the formal dresses and opt instead for these 29 ensembles that are perfect for your next party.
