Velvet is the type of material that instantly evokes a sense of holiday spirit. It's up there with other descriptive materials like silver tinsel or red and black buffalo checks. Gucci, Erdem, and Prada all agreed that this Winter, velvet would be trending once again (did it ever really go away?), and we've seen a resurgence in the use of the material. From velvet point pumps care of Sam Edelman to velvet leggings from Madewell, brands seem invested in making sure this Winter is our plushiest one yet.

But the key velvet item that should be in your closet before you start searching for those one-offs (velvet socks, velvet bikini) is the velvet dress. Putting it on feels like wrapping yourself in a delicious hug. And there's no better time to do that than at a holiday party. Don't sacrifice your comfort for looking great. Try out one of these eight velvet dresses, all under $150, that will make you stand out from the crowd.

Standards & Practices Freya Wrap Coat Dress

If you're looking for an alternative to the traditional LBD, look no further than a coat dress with dramatic satin details, like the Freya Wrap Coat Dress ($119) pictured here. Wear it closed for a full dress-like effect or open for a more robe-like style.
