As the temperatures outside fall, it’s likely the last thing on your mind is baring it all in a super sexy dress — but hear us out. The winter party season is the perfect opportunity to go all-out in a plunging neckline or open-backed dress — and when you add trends like sequins, velvet and statement hues into the mix, you’ll end up with a seriously amazing ~look~ for whatever occasion this winter throws at you. Read on for the sexy going out dress you need in your life, based on your personality.
1. Bold and confident
Ruffle One Shoulder Cocktail Mini Dress ($83 at ASOS)
There’s only one color that could possibly live up to your bold, vivacious personality: red, obviously! *Cue frequent use of the fire emoji* A sculptural, one-shouldered look is sexy in a way that’s not overdone and will make you stand out from the crowd wherever your night may take you.
2. Edgy and mysterious
Applique Strap Mini Bodycon Dress ($68 at Topshop)
Your edgy style already probably causes you to gravitate toward all-black-everything on a pretty regular basis — but this isn’t your average LBD. With a hot AF lace-up front and a body-con fit, the velvety material of this dress makes in the perfect pick for winter. Toss a leather jacket on top and ankle booties on bottom, and your cold weather party-going look is settled.

3. Bubbly and outgoing
Romance White Sequin Shift ($59 at Tobi)
As a bubbly, outgoing kind of gal, chances are you’ll be stunning in sequins. The winter white shimmer will make you feel like Cinderella, but the plunging neckline and sheer back are more badass than Disney princess. Pair with nude heels to let this standout dress shine.
4. Cool and collected
Pretty Little Thing High Neck Open Back Velvet Midi Dress ($40 at ASOS)
Your practical personality shouldn’t prevent you from rocking something that makes you feel special and sexy this winter! Opt for a midi-length body-con dress in navy velvet with a cutout back — which is subtly sexy while still keeping things as low-key as you like them.
5. Fashion-forward and trendy
Metal Mesh Dress ($49.90 at Zara)
Remember that ‘00s Paris Hilton-esque dress Kendall Jenner rocked to her 21st birthday party? That’s what you need in your life. This sexy, slinky metallic shape with a hint of cleavage and a bare back has basically reached fashion *icon* status — which is a no-brainer when it comes to your trendsetting, fashion-forward style.
As Olivia Pope would say, your sexy going out look for the winter party season? It’s handled.
