12
items What to wear to a holiday dinner party in 2026, from a champagne satin Khaite skirt and Ulla Johnson's silk bow blouse to crystal kitten heels, emerald earrings and a velvet bow. Burgundy, black, chocolate and a little bit of shine: chic enough for t...
Double-faced satin in champagne, cut A-line and worn low on the hips. Add a black knit and you're the best-dressed person at the table without trying.
Khaite Nania Skirt in Champagne
Silk chiffon and satin-faced georgette with a draped bow and Chantilly lace trim. Romantic, a little sheer, and perfect with that champagne skirt.
Ulla Johnson Selene Puff Sleeve Top in Noir
Black satin, a pointy toe, a 40mm kitten heel and a removable jewelled ankle strap. Made in Italy, and comfortable enough to last well past dessert.
Le Monde Béryl Babouche Kitten Crystal Heels in Black Satin
A satin maxi with a sweetheart neckline and a keyhole cutout, in a deep wine shade made for candlelight. Add the cardigan if the dining room runs cold.
Reformation Sathia Satin Dress in Chianti
Pear and marquise-cut Austrian crystals on a hinged drop that moves when you laugh. The emerald does the talking, so keep everything else simple.
Jennifer Behr Janelle Earrings in Emerald
Croc-embossed leather, a magnetic closure and just enough room for a lipstick, keys and your phone. Which is all you need at dinner anyway.
Staud Muse Clutch in Black Croco
Wavy Lurex mesh at the shoulders and big balloon sleeves: the cozy-but-festive sweater for a dinner at a friend's place. Wear it with black trousers.
Ulla Johnson Mathilde Knit Pullover in Topaz/Gold
Rouje's alpaca-wool blend cardigan, made in Italy, in burgundy. Button it up and wear it as a top, very Parisian, or drape it over the slip dress.
Rouje Abelina Cardigan in Burgundy
Ribbed wool with a square lace neckline and lace cuffs, designed in Paris. Tuck it into the satin skirt or the chocolate trousers and you're done.
Rouje Malla Lace Wool Top in Black
High-rise, knife-pleated and wide-leg, in Aritzia's Japanese crepe that basically never wrinkles. Chocolate trousers plus a little lace is a very good dinner outfit.
Aritzia The Effortless Pant in Rich Mocha Brown
An oversized velvet bow, made by hand in New York, in a deep wine shade with a French barrette. Low bun, big bow, done.
Jennifer Behr Adley Velvet Bow Barrette in Pinot
A true ruby red matte, made to last for hours. The finishing touch, and the one thing you'll reapply between courses.
Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution Lipstick in Red Carpet Red
