Holiday Dresses with Pockets: Festive Styles You'll Love
Finding a holiday dress you love makes the season feel special. Discovering that it has pockets is a welcome bonus.
For Christmas parties, family dinners, and festive evenings out, holiday dresses with pockets give you that festive holiday feeling with a little more practicality.

Why we love a dress with pockets
Sometimes you just want somewhere to slip a lipstick or keep a small essential close. Pockets can make a dress feel more relaxed and easy to wear, especially during a busy evening of greeting friends and moving between conversations.
Pocket size and placement vary by dress, so check how your essentials fit without changing the way the skirt hangs. A small evening bag is still useful for anything heavier you want by your side all night.
Plaid dresses for classic Christmas style
A plaid holiday dress feels right at home beside a decorated tree or around the Christmas dinner table. When you find one with pockets, you get the traditional look with an extra touch of convenience.
This year, J.Marie is our favorite brand for dresses that feel like you with added functionality.
The Raya Long Sleeve Bow Dress is perfect for a family gathering or a festive night out.
Style it with ballet flats and a cardigan for a casual family gathering, or dress it up with heels and earrings for an evening party.
Let the plaid guide your accessories. Pulling out one color from the print keeps the outfit feeling cohesive.
Solid colors with a festive finish
Red and emerald make beautiful classic foundations for holiday dressing. A solid-colored dress gives you room to play with a velvet hair bow, a metallic shoe, or a statement necklace.
Make the Collins and Cami Midi dresses the base for your festive holiday accessories, or wear them on their own!
When shopping for a style with pockets, pay attention to the fabric and silhouette as well as the color. Try the dress with the pockets empty first to see how it naturally falls.
Choose a dress for your celebration
For a daytime outing, pair an easy pocket dress with boots or flats and a warm layer. For Christmas dinner, add your favorite jewelry and a polished shoe.
Heading to a cocktail party? Check the invitation’s dress code and choose a fabric, length, and finish that suit the occasion.
Check the details before you buy
Love the look of a dress but aren’t sure whether it has pockets? Read the product description or ask our team to confirm. Side seams can make pockets difficult to spot in photos, and similar-looking dresses may have different details.

A J.Marie Look to Wear Your Way
The Harlan Belted Button Up Midi Dress brings plaid, pearl buttons, a removable belt, and pockets together in one festive style. Start with the dress, then change your finishing touches to suit the invitation.
- Family lunch: Pair with ballet flats and a cardigan you can remove indoors.
- Christmas dinner: Add a polished shoe and simple earrings so the plaid remains the focus.
- Evening party: Choose a small clutch rather than filling the pockets with heavier essentials.
When trying a dress, check the waist sitting down as well as standing up. Make sure the pockets lie comfortably and the skirt falls the way you like.
