The [Urban Outfitters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/urban-outfitters-and-canva) Party Looks for Now lookbook provides a concise recap of the brand's top holiday styles. Model Kristine Forseth showcased the looks which feature a range of dresses, each one highly appropriate for festive parties and events.

To celebrate new years gatherings, Urban Outfitters recommends picking from its fun-loving celebratory guide. Present in the Party Looks for Now campaign are [sequins, lace, leather and shimmery materials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holiday-apparel-collection), motifs that are most commonly associated with December 31st get-togethers.

While these pieces are often paired with sleek hairdos and [bold cosmetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/treatinspired-holiday-2025-collection), Urban Outfitters instead opted for distressed tresses and simplistic make up. This gives way to an alternative approach to the holidays, one that prefers unexpectedly relaxed motifs during the winter months.
