Thanksgiving may have come and gone, but that was just the start of a busy holiday season of parties, office events, family gatherings, and so many other occasions that call for a festive look.

Instead of pulling out your usual go-to little black dress, why not switch things up this holiday season with a deliciously soft velvet party dress? Velvet is one of our trends of the season ― both for clothing and home decor.
