Around the world, people are getting
ready for the months ahead. The last few months of the year are chock a block
with festivities and a jam packed holiday season that we all look forward to
with bated breath. One part about the fun holiday season however, that many of
us get super stressed out about – what to wear! Not only are the festivities
and parties a great excuse to dress up and be vibrant but also a fabulous way
to end the old year with panache.
Cold winter temps however often play a
dampener and it becomes tougher to be more confident about your sartorial
choices. Unlike the warmer months where you can throw on a little dressy number
and a pair of sky high stilettos, dressing for the winter holiday season and
the weird weather conditions often requires a little more thought.
Let's have some fun with winter fashion
and make this holiday season, your sparkliest yet! Read on for some easy
fashion tips -
Invest in some fabulous outerwear – So
you wear your best dress or gown that you have been saving for the right
occasion or that gorgeous silk blouse that makes your eyes pop; but then what?
Simply putting on an old well worn jacket or coat can bring your entire look
down from fab to drab. Since you will have to keep warm during the winter, invest
in a couple stand out outer wear pieces that will keeping you looking chic and
well put together. A great goat or jacket that is perfectly fitted to you or
even a statement jacket like those in gorgeous colors, luxurious fabrics and
the like are investments worth making for the colder months. Make a statement as soon as you walk in and
then you can dazzle them further with the awesomeness underneath! If you want a
little more added festive glitz and have a neutral jacket, top it off with a
great metallic belt or a gemstone pin.

Add some bling – Whether you prefer to buy diamonds in New York, or embellish an outfit with flea market finds, the
holiday season is the perfect time to add a little glitz to your ensemble.
Nothing speaks of festivities quite like the twinkle of jewellery or the sheen
of a sequin. If your outfit is simple add the glamour with beautiful eye catching jewellery like earrings, necklaces, stacked bracelets and more, or
even a scarf with metallic embellishments and a blingy head band. The holidays
is also the perfect time to bring out bedazzled clothing like that darling
sequinned mini, a cardigan with metallic threads, a lame jacket or shoes with
crystals and faux gems. Just make sure you don't pile it on all at once to
avoid looking like a Christmas tree!
Try new luxurious feeling fabrics –
Winter fashion is all about layering to keep you toasty as well as keep the
style quotient up. For the holiday season, dabble in fabrics that look
luxurious and opulent and feel fabulous against your skin. Velvet, silk, satin,
cashmere, suede and the like not only look very dressy but also feel
comfortable and soft. You could even look at accessories like shoes and
clutches and even light jackets in more dressy fabrics like brocade and
metallic lace to add a 'holiday' feel. Instant and easy chic! Faux fur and real
or faux leather are also stylish options.
Take heed of the dress code – If you are
going to an event or party, pay attention to what the dress code is. It can be
extremely uncomfortable to turn up in denims when everyone is dressed to the
hilt or wear a gorgeous formal gown to find people lounging about in flirty
cocktail dresses. When in doubt or if you can't confirm with the host /
hostess, a little black or navy dress is always a safe option that you can
dress up or down with make up and accessories. Usually it is better to err on
the side of being overdressed rather than under-dressed.
Have fun with holiday dressing and you
will shine no matter what you wear!
