What to wear

  • Office and work parties: a midi or knee-length dress in velvet, satin or a rich color.
  • Friends' holiday parties: sequins, metallics, red and green, or a statement sleeve.
  • New Year's Eve: the most sparkle you can find. Gold, silver and black sequins.
  • Dressy dinners and galas: see formal and black-tie rentals.

Plan around the holidays

  • Book early in December. Shipping is slower around the holidays, so leave a buffer.
  • Go local when you can. A local handoff or same-city courier avoids holiday shipping delays.
  • Check your return date against holiday travel. Late returns are charged under e.closet's Rental Protection Policy.
