No matter what the season, the perfect party dress can make an already good time even better. From sequins to sheaths, Banana Republic has options, whether it's for an office gathering, New Year's Eve, or just about any type of festive occasion in between.

When picking a party dress, it's usually easiest to start with the level of fancy that you're looking for. Of course style rules are fluid, but knowing whether you'll need something for cocktails, one that's easy to dance in, or a warm but dressy option can help you narrow your choices. No matter what the dress code, Banana Republic is party-outfit-ready.
