Party season is in full swing and, with November right around the corner, holiday festivities will be here before we know it. Ready to prep your wardrobe accordingly? 

This season, I’m skipping over LBDs (except for this one) in favor of bolder, brighter party pieces. Rosie Assoulin’s rainbow stripe skirt (currently on sale!) that I wore to a black-tie fête was just the tip of the iceberg. My Candy-Land approach to party dressing has resulted in a Saks shopping cart full of things like Lapointe’s bubblegum-pink sequin blazer (a perfect length for leather leggings, I might add), a Markarian mini, colorblocking á la Carolina Herrera, and, of course, loads of red in the form of dresses, tops, knitwear (including this cropped cardi that will be the perfect topper for both jeans and high-waisted skirts alike), and more. 

Below, a hit list with 16 colorful, joy-inducing pieces for every kind of party this season.
