How to Wear a Lace Dress for Every Fall Occasion

_{This is a sponsored editorial from Red Dress Boutique.}

The year may be winding down but that doesn’t mean your social calendar has gotten any lighter. No lazy fall days for you. Instead of leisurely sipping hot cider and rolling around in leaf piles (you know you want to) you have an inbox full of fancy autumn event invites requesting your life-of-the-party attendance.

Fight the urge to give in to your introverted side that loves to Netflix and chill (or, if we’re honest, nap). Do yourself a favor and invest in a few gorgeous lace dresses guaranteed to bring out that extroverted diva who’s always up for a party.

Black Lace Dress: Fall Wedding

Ok, let’s get it out of the way. As if you haven’t had your fill of I dos and Happily Ever Afters this summer, you most likely have a fall wedding (or three) looming in your iCal. No need to stress over repeating those summer wedding threads. Get Insta-stunning with a beautiful black lace dress and the bride will practically be handing you that bouquet.

Red Lace Dress: Halloween Party

You may not be going door to door begging for candy but that doesn’t mean you have to leave Halloween to the kids. Get your costume game on this year with a red lace dress and let that little vixen inside you out to play. Complete your clever (and sexy) costume with a pair of devil horns and angel wings to let everyone know you’re not as innocent as you seem.

Lace Dress with Cut-Outs: Charity Gala

Everyone knows you are a generous and kind hearted individual. Plus, you really know how to work a room. It’s no secret why all of your philanthropist-in-training friends want you by their side at their favorite charity event. Put your wardrobe to work for the betterment of mankind and wear an elegant lace dress with cut-outs to your next fundraising event. With a look this sophisticated and a heart as big as yours, you’ll have the undivided attention of every donor in the room (and their generous donation in your hand).

Burgundy Lace Dress: Thanksgiving Dinner with His Parents

That guy you thought was a one time thing has turned into so much more and now you’re going to be spending Thanksgiving dinner with his parents. Yes, it’s a big deal but no, there’s no need to be nervous. There isn’t any doubt they’re going to love you and your secret recipe cranberry sauce (open can, pour in bowl).

Dress to impress this holiday season with a classy burgundy lace dress paired with ankle strap heels and watch your boyfriend beam as he introduces you to the most important people in his life (well, before you came along). Not only will they love you before the night is out, but we’re pretty sure they’ll be planning the wedding as soon as you leave.

White Lace Dress: Friendsgiving

We know spending the holidays with family has its challenges: No, you don’t want to tell your grandma why you’re single again this year. Yes, you do know how to do laundry despite what your mother may think. Put the family drama on the backburner this fall and enjoy a care-free potluck Friendsgiving with your soul sisters (and brothers) instead.

If you’re hosting this year’s festive soiree, then dress the part of the hostess with the most-est. Greet your guests at the door in a beautiful white lace dress to set the tone of the fun yet classy evening you have in store. A few signature cocktails and a rousing game of Apples to Apples later and it’ll go down in history as the best Friendsgiving party since the one where Monica danced with a turkey on her head and Chandler said I love you.
