Holiday Dressing 101

Just like that, we approach closing off another year. In other more important words, our Holiday season social calendars are beginning to fill up, which by the way, means that it’s that time of year to amp up your style choices, get a little extra, and have some real fun!  

Whether you need an excuse for a night out with the gals, a stunning outfit for your date night, or a dress that will take everyone’s breath away at that party you’ve been looking forward to, these pieces will give you a serious urge to party. Get ready to kick off the party season in sparkles, sequins and more.

Here’s a roundup of our favorite styles to take with you to all your most exciting RSVP’s.

Sequins please!

Simply because what says Holiday more than a little bit of sequin? Adding some sequin to your wardrobe instantly makes any look that much more festive, and since it is so extra on it’s own, it barely requires any styling effort. For an outing more on the casual side, style your sequin top with denim and kitten slingbacks, or with flare trousers and platforms for a more upscale type of event. Taking the plunge and going out in full sequin? Top it off with a shiny statement earring and a black high heel for added drama.

Beaded Beauties

Dancing the night away? Grab your pointed stilettos, and head out in a dress that’ll dazzle with every sway. Not a dress gal? Top off any skirt or trousers with a sheer embroidered top sure to steal the show. Add some silver hoops and bangles, and finish off with a black strappy sandal. Definitely insta-worthy.

Less is More

For the minimalist who wants to take things up a notch this holiday season - toss the fancy embellishments and keep things subtle and chic by sticking to an all black look, but jazz it up in luxe fabrics like chiffon and delicate details like ruffles and crystal pleats. Add a crystal drop earring, and throw in some sparkle hosiery if you’re wearing a dress. Top off your look with black pumps and a sleek tailored coat, or channel your inner fashionista with an oversized long faux fur coat. 

Go Out in Glitter

If dramatic bling isn’t really your thing but you still want to upgrade your wardrobe with some festive flavor, add some glitter into your rotation for some extra Holiday sparkle. Our favorite way to style these tops are with sleek fit and flare trousers, however, the options are endless. To top it all off, we’ll go with some sparkly bangles and metallic pumps. Trust us when we say a little sparkle goes a long way.

Cute and Cozy

If style and comfort are your thing, opt for your normal sweater silhouette with metallic accents that add a touch of holiday glamour. Pair any of these seamlessly over denim or over a satin pleated midi and top off with a delicate headband and booties.

Accessorize

No look is complete without the perfect clutch to match! You want to go for a bag that is big enough to hold all the essentials, yet still small enough to compliment your outfit without taking over your entire look. Why not go for something with a little glitz?
