The Best Evening Dresses For Holiday-Party Season and Beyond

While elegant evening gowns tend to be more sophisticated and formal than other daytime styles, that doesn't necessarily equate to them being super expensive. Case in point: this minimalistic H&M Satin Wrap Dress ($40), which is equal parts stylish and affordable. The muted gown is simple enough to wear to a more polished office party or dress up with statement shoes and an evening bag for a night out on the town.
