When the holiday season rolls around, people always expect to dress nicely to make a good impression on family members and friends. But just because you are dressing up this season doesn’t mean you have to make it boring. You can keep up with traditions while embracing your unique personality and sense of style. This season, there's plenty to work with!
Interested in adding a pop of color and a dash of festive spirit to your wardrobe? Here are the top 10 most fabulous ways to dress and style yourself this holiday season!
1. Add Some Metal
For an elegant yet refreshingly modern look, try mixing a metallic-colored top with a dark-colored bottom. This year, Olivia Palermo took a silver metallic top, which was adorned with a busy pattern, and combined it with a solid burgundy skirt to really bring out the deepest colors of the season.
2. Wrap Yourself Up!
Try a wrap dress this season. Sheer red or sheer green will really make the holiday colors pop. While the dress itself may be a little plain, this is the perfect opportunity to decorate with your favorite Christmas-themed accessories.
3. The Classy Silk Dress
Nothing says “classy” like an elegant and sexy silk dress. Try deep red or even silver to keep things festive. Lace-up heels are the perfect
shoe finale that will catch everyone’s attention this holiday season.
4. Fun with Sequins
The holidays are about bright, shimmering colors. This is the perfect time of year to wear that sequin dress you’ve always wanted to try. A beautiful sequin dress can really light up your holiday party, adding a flare of color and brightness wherever you walk.
5. Gold!
Metallic colors own the holidays! Try a solid pair of wide-legged gold pants to really show your love for Christmas. Match it with a sheer or metallic-colored blouse for an elegant twist on a traditional decoration.
6. Leather is Bold
Want a bit of naughty in your stocking this year? You can lace up with a leather miniskirt and black leather boots to match. Try adding some of your favorite leather accessories as well, such as a bow tie or even a wrist cuff to show off your favorite fashion trend.
7. Be Nice with Lace
In contrast to the above, you can choose to be good for Santa with a lace button-up blouse. Try adding some lace accessories to your skirt and shoes as well, to put a modern twist on something traditional.
8. Dark Colors are Great
What is it about winter and deep colors that blend so well? This season, you can sport a uniquely dark merlot-colored dress. This pairs well with other depe colors such as burgundy, which will truly be a sight for sore eyes.
9. Keep the Little Black Dress Look
Do you love your LBD? You can certainly use it to your advantage this holiday season. Refresh your black dress with a couple of holiday-themed accessories, such as a feather collar, a sequin purse, or a pair of shimmering metallic heels that just don’t quit.
10. Make it Floral!
You can certainly add floral patterns to your desired holiday look. This Christmas, try a floral flock or a black-and-white dress adorned with petals. This will make you look like a gorgeous winter garden, and your dress will certainly be a conversation starter!
Get Inspired This Holiday Season!
When it comes to the holidays, there really is no right or wrong way to show your enthusiasm through fashion. Whether you want to sport a sexy red silk dress, or you want to cover up with a frock that makes colors pop, the decision is in your hands. This season, embrace your favorite colors and add just a touch of metallic shimmer to be the talk of the town!
