Essential Pieces for the Holiday Season
During the holiday season, there are all different kinds of events you need to attend. Whether it is a family get-together or a work party or a holiday celebration with friends, you will need outfits that are festive (without the thick knit reindeer sweaters) and appropriate. There are some pieces that are a must for the holidays that say you are in the spirit and fashionable too.
A little black dress is a must, not just for the holidays, but for all year round! This garment can be dressed up or down and can be worn for nearly all occasions. BCBG is a great place to find a little black dress. Whether you are looking for a simple clean cut dress or one with a twist, you can definitely find it there. The one shown below from BCBG is perfect for the holidays. It’s a little black dress with a festive twist – sparkle. Which brings us to our next holiday must have…
Sparkle is a great way to convey your festivity without being over the top. You can choose to display it head on by wearing a chic sparkle dress, or by wearing something smaller with sparkle, like a headband. This clutch below adds the perfect amount of glitter for that special holiday occasion without being too much. The clutch is from Ann Taylor Loft and is only $18.50!
Velvet is another way to be subtle about your holiday spirit, yet still look the part. This material adds a classy touch to whatever outfit it is a part of. Around the holidays, dark velvet is a must. Black, dark green, and navy are not just luxurious, but season appropriate as well. The black velvet blazer from Anthropologie below is a perfect holiday piece for an office event. You don’t have to lose your professionalism to fit the part for a holiday party at work – this blazer is a perfect way to tie together work and play (and festiveness, too)!
Maybe one of the most important trends for the holidays is also the most simple: wearing the color red. If you’re attending a holiday party, wear a fashionable top in the color red. If it’s a work function, wear a red button up blouse. Even if you just have a hint of red, it still helps to convey the message that you’re in the holiday spirit. Maybe just go with a fun red bag, like the one below from Burberry, priced at $1495.
When it comes to holiday inspired pieces, a little can go a long way. Whichever of these fashions you choose for your wardrobe this winter, you will be sure to be festively in fashion and ready for whatever the season throws at you
