New Year is just around the corner, which means it’s time to get ready for New Year parties. In 2020, holiday gatherings may look different than normal. Maybe you’ll be celebrating with a small group at home or virtually connecting with friends. Either way, you’ll want to look impeccable in your home party dress.
There’s no better theme for the festive 2020 season than looking back to the 1920s. This fabulous decade provides you with plenty of gorgeous options when it comes to creating a head-to-toe holiday look that sparkles and shines.
Here’s a sampling of Roaring 20’s Party Dresses that will look fantastic at your 1920’s Themed New Year Holiday Party.
Art Deco Beading
Nothing exudes “1920s Glamour” quite like Art Deco beading. Selecting a dress that is accented by clean lines, geometric shapes, and bold patterns will make you the picture of antiquated elegance. Art Deco originally had Egyptian influence, which gives every dress a luxurious look that is impossible to ignore.

Art Deco dresses look even better when paired with Art Deco Jewelry. Look for pieces that feature clean lines, geometric patterns, contrasting colors, and glittering gemstones. If the dress you’re looking at has a high neckline, a dramatic pair of earrings is a great choice.
Hair & Makeup
Art Deco and drama go hand in hand. Black cat eye liner is a great addition to this Jazz Age ensemble. If you really want to channel your inner 1920s style star, draw on a beauty mark.
Soft & Sweet
1920s holiday dresses don’t have to sparkle to steal the show. If your style is a little more subdued, stick to a style that is on the softer side. Look for dresses that feature sheer overlays accented by ruffles, floral details, or elegant embroidery. As long as they have an unstructured silhouette, they’ll exude the timeless luxury of the Roaring Twenties.

These dresses are feminine, flattering, and perfect for the 2020 holiday season. Their drop waist designs give them an effortless look that will make you feel like a vintage sophisticate.

Jewelry with floral elements will perfectly complement your sweet, understated vintage look. A pair of pearl earrings are also always appropriate. If you want to add another element to your look, wear a cloche hat with your winter coat on your way to your holiday party. A pair of lace gloves or a faux fur shawl are another great way to amp up an otherwise ordinary dress.
Hair & Makeup…
Keep your hair casual to complement the simplicity of your outfit. Wear your hair down in soft curls to give it a romantic and feminine feel. Heavy, dark makeup won’t do when it comes to a light look like this one - instead, add some “rouge” for a fresh faced look that is simply fabulous.
Glamorous Glitz
It doesn’t matter if it’s a Christmas soiree or a New Years Eve bash - sparkles are always appropriate during the holiday season. Flapper dresses are known for their over-the-top elements like sparkling sequins or shimmering beadwork. For a holiday look that will steal the show, choose a sparkling dress that draws inspiration from the 1920s.

When it comes to super-sparkly flapper dresses, don’t be afraid of going over the top with accessories too. Glittery headbands, hairpieces, or hats will take your look to the next level. Or, find a large vintage-inspired necklace. If you really want to make a statement, select a fringe shawl to keep your arms covered at the party.
Hair & Makeup
When your dress is super sparkly, it’s best to keep your makeup subtle. A dramatic cat eye will reference the 1920s without making your look too heavy. If you want to add vintage glamour, a burgundy lip will take your look to the next level.
Chic Sophistication
Most people assume that 1920s dresses have to be short to make a statement. The truth is, sometimes floor-length gowns can be show-stopping too. It doesn’t matter if you choose a floaty dress with an Art Deco bodice or a form-fitting number that hugs your curves - you’ll have an upscale holiday look that is undeniably chic.

Long flapper dresses don’t need tons of accessories. With that said, it’s hard to go overboard when you’re referencing the 1920s. A sophisticated hair comb will complement an elegant updo. T-strap shoes with Art Deco influence will also allow you to keep your look consistent from head to toe.
Hair & Makeup
A simple updo will keep your hair off your shoulders so you can show off your dramatic dress. Add some finger waves or curls and you have a hairstyle that perfectly matches the period. Dramatic smokey eyes will match the glamour of a long gown.
