We love looking for new ways to switch up our partywear, and while the LBD is always a chic option, we're adding a new twist to our holiday dressing MO this season. Our latest must-have piece? The embellished pant. With brands like J.Crew — how adorable is this sequined bow-embellished rendition? — Phillip Lim, and Michael Kors leading the style pack with their whimsical designs, there's a style and silhouette for every festive occasion. Pair lightly embellished trousers with a silk printed top and blazer for a look that can easily take you from day to night, then take the weekend by storm with sequined pants for a fun take on party dressing. Ready to dazzle your way through the end of the year? Here are 13 of the best embellished pants to start shopping now.
