There are few things in life more sublime than a perfect Christmas dress. Plaid taffetas and velvets, or snug sweater dresses. All those gorgeous styles in seasonal prints, many that are Santa-themes. The holiday season is also special-dress season – for big and little dress wearers alike.
To say I want my daughter and son to look cute is a lie. I want them to look exquisitely adorable with rosy, chubby cheeks and knit winter sweaters. I want them turning heads with their delightfulness.
And Christmastime is showtime.
But I also know that I don’t want to drop lots of money on a Christmas tree print sweater or dress that will look out of place on December 26th.
And I want options. Do I want a cotton twirly dress, or should I go big and get that hunter green linen dress on Soor Ploom? Are we going to meet Santa Claus this year?
Other moms tend to agree. In a recent poll of moms, 47% said they buy buy 2 or more Christmas dresses for the holiday season. Some want to have different looks for different events. Others just want to have lots of choices.
Optionality is a big driver.
Which got me thinking. Are there good options for Christmas dresses that can be worn well into winter and spring without looking out of place? Christmas dresses that look good under the tree but don’t have a tree inked on them?
I did some digging, or screen-shopping. And there are plenty of cute, non-Christmas specific dress options you can wear well past the Holidays. From $16 to $168, here are 9 options to explore.
