LBDs may be timeless. They may be "chic." They may work for every occasion and all that good stuff. But this holiday season, we've got something different and slightly statement-making in mind: a tea dress. The style is equal parts feminine, power woman, and modest, meaning it'll work for any type of event you've got planned. Plus, the added bonus? It was also pretty popular on Spring '17 runway, so if you snag one now you'll be way ahead of the curve.

Scroll through to for a bit of runway inspiration, then shop the options your in-laws, best friends, and even Kate Middleton would approve of. Then add a pair of boots and be on your stylish, merry way!
