'Tis the season for holiday dresses!

Right now, women in the southern hemisphere are removing their cold weather wardrobe and replacing it with the light flowy dresses and skirts that are the epitome of our summers. 

And in the northern hemisphere, many are getting ready to pack for their holiday to somewhere warm.

Whether you’re planning your relaxed Christmas day look, a holiday wardrobe, or New Year's Eve style, dresses are sure to be high on the agenda. 

From silky slip dress to mini halter dress, shirt dress to a ruffle dress, the options are endless.

Which means sometimes it’s hard to know where to start!

And there are general ‘rules’ when it comes to finding the holiday outfits that will work for you. 

You want pieces that are relaxed and comfortable, that can see you from day to night, can be worn multiple times, and can be dressed up or down.

Versatile pieces to help make packing easier, your bag lighter, and dressing simple!

So keep scrolling for 34 of the best holiday dresses I’ve found from brands including Matteau, Faithfull the Brand, Reformation and Marle, both new and pre-loved.

ethics ratings

I use Good On You as my main source of information when it comes to rating store ethics and sustainability.
They use a 5-star rating system, and so I share the same, however I don't list stores with a rating below 2 stars.

Not good enough - 
It's a start - 
Good -
Excellent - 
Pre-loved - the piece is secondhand
