As the holiday season approaches and we are preparing for Thanksgiving dinners, Christmas parties, family gatherings, work parties and New Year’s festivities, we want to make sure we look our best for each occasion.
Whether casual or formal, there are perfect outfits for all occasions.
In the winter season, coats, sweaters, leggings, and boots are all a must to keep warm out there however, it is important to dress appropriate for each event you plan on attending.
While still requiring to dress up for family get-togethers, it is important to stay comfortable to last the night.
I think pairing some skinny jeans along with a nice sweater and boots could be the perfect outfit to wear to be comfortable, stay warm, and still look cute.
If you choose to dress it up a little more, consider wearing boots with heels and accessorize more.
Sweater dresses can be worn for any occasion and are very cute. They can be worn with leggings or tights but make sure that it is a sweater dress which goes beneath the bottom.
For those of you who plan on attending work parties or more formal outings, dresses or slacks can be perfect for the occasion.
Blazers can be worn over dresses so they don’t come across as too flashy and even over elegant-looking tops.
Dresses or tops with sequence or lace are a perfect way to add to the holiday look and you will certainly be the hit of the party.
We all want to show up to the occasion looking great, but know you will have to brace the cold weather first.
Dress up your arrival look by wearing a button down coat, a comfortable and cute cardigan, or a pea coat.
If you’re one who prefers rocking an edgier look, leather jackets can be the perfect choice for you. If you choose to wear a leather jacket and black is not your only option, maroon, brown, and cream colors are available too.
To all you hipsters: loose fitting pants that flow with a top that’s tucked in while wearing a sheik hat, topping off the look is the way to go.
Trending colors this season are deep reds, silvers or shiny grays, black, browns, dark greens and cream colors. Don’t be afraid to intertwine these colors because they will make your outfit really stand out.
To keep warm, I recommend wool, leather, and soft materials however, if you choose to wear denim or suede, be sure to keep out of the rain.
My favorite part about winter time is accessorizing each outfit with scarves, beanies, gloves, and purses. Even adding jewelry, and for you guys watches and ties, can determine how dressed up you appear.
An outfit that seems to be too casual can easily be dressed up by adding the right accessories.
Ladies, I believe this holiday season matching your purse with your outfit looks great and if a purse is more than you want to be bothered with, clutches can be a super cute alternative.
As for jewelry, buy some cute dangling earrings that match the outfit or have fun and embrace the holiday season by wearing jewelry that is more holiday inspired like snowflakes or candy canes.
For the guys out there, you can always show up looking great in a buttoned down shirt, and if it happens to be a more casual event, add a tie. Sweaters for men can even be a great idea to stay comfortable too.
Guys are not exempted from the accessory frenzy, you too can accessorize by wearing a nice watch.
It’s the season for fun and holiday spirit. What better way to show off your holiday spirit by looking great.
