People have very diverse opinions on what constitutes party clothes, as we discovered during our search this week. (Pantslessness is an option for some.) We’re forever in search of pieces that will add a little something special to what we already have in our closet, whether that’s a velvet jacket, a sheer blouse, a fancy flat, or an ornate belt. Those sorts of outfit-making pieces — as well as a few great dresses — are below.
A double-breasted velvet jacket is just the thing to toss over a slip dress, a sweater, or even a simple tee. Sézane Christie Jacket, $225. Size 0 to 16.
When a belt is all the jewelry you need. Belts by Simon Scroll Buckle Chain Drape Belt, $159.
Elegant, comfortable, and cute with jeans. Vibi Venezia Floral Embroidered Velvet Furlane Slippers, $89.
A delicate sheer blouse. Cos Tie-Detail Polka-Dot Silk-Chiffon Blouse, $225. Size 2 to 14.
You could dress this silk skirt up or down. Banana Republic Zandra Silk Midi Skirt, $190. Size XXS to XXL.
Beautiful and eminently wearable (the sleeves!). Love the Label Natalie Dress, $450. Size XS to XL.

We like how this replicates the layered necklace look without any fuss or tangling. Justine Clenquent Jill Necklace, $105.
Easy wearing thanks to the cut and the bit of stretch in the fabric. Draper James Vivienne Love Circle Midi Dress, $195. Size 0 to 24.
A sheer, tie-back blouse for a great price. H&M Puff-Sleeve Organza Top, $18. Size XXS to XL.
