A Touch of Sparkle
A staple for a reason, holiday attire with some extra pop is a surefire winner. From sequins to glitter, there’s a number of ways to light up a room with your holiday ensemble.
Sparkle Meets Neutral - While an elegant sequined gown is certainly an option at formal events, today’s fashion is just as much about function as it is appearance. Marry the two by mixing mediums. Try a sparkly pant with a neutral top for bold, yet balanced look.
Let Your Hands Do the Talking - While there are countless designs to choose from for your holiday manicure, few are quite as classy as shimmery polish. Use the holidays as your inspiration and use the colors of the season—metallic silver, glittery gold, piney green or candy cane red.
Amp Up the Accessories
From head to toe, the right accessories for your holiday look go a long way. Don’t be shy about showing off.
Patterned Headbands and Statement Bling - Just like the fanny pack, headbands are experiencing a resurgence. From multicolored stripes to pearl beaded accents, there’s a headpiece for any outfit. Pair it with shimmering jewelry, like a long and flowing necklace, and you’ll certainly have one stunning holiday look.
Fancy Heels - To elevate your holiday look, elevate yourself. Fancy footwear, from strappy block heels to classic pumps, complements any outfit, allowing you to stand out from the ordinary. Go for refined black or ensemble-enhancing hues.
Minidresses and Basic Bags
You don’t have to dress to the nines to achieve a fashion-forward and festive holiday look. Sometimes all you need to do is get back to basics with a simple minidress and sensible bag.
Voluminous Minidresses - Ruffles, tiered layers and flowing fabrics all create larger-than-life (yet flattering) minidress profiles. Add in bold colors and fun fabrics like tulle and you have an easy-to-wear look with a touch of class.
- Totes and Bags - Contrary to popular belief, purses don’t necessarily have to be a major investment and your don’t need one to match every outfit. In building your holiday look, aim for a bag that will be easy to carry during your celebrations. Functional options like totes, crossbody bags and shoulder bags will easily fit your essentials without being cumbersome, like tough-to-carry clutches.
