Starry Nights
Your Christmas tree isn’t the only thing that should shine bright this winter! Adding pops of shine to your everyday wardrobe by incorporating shiny metallics, sequins, or sparkly embellishments will give you that decadent style that is a holiday classic. Let the glitter speak for itself though – light up your winter nights by mixing these brilliant pieces with subtle, neutral garments.

Knit Knacks
Brave the chilly winter and still look fabulously chic with warm and chunky knitwear. Knits are great layering pieces and are a staple for the winter season. There are many different textures, styles and ways to wear them. Here, we are fans of tweed, cable knit, or woven wool, to name a few. Winterize your favorite top by simply putting a knit over it, and don’t be afraid to pair knits with knits. You can’t go wrong layering knit after knit…after all, it’s cold out there!

Pattern Print Pattern Print
Patterns & prints are here to stay and play a major role this season. Elaborate swirls, polka dots, motifs and opulent winter florals are great patterns for the winter season. Pair them with bold solids or mix and match other patterns to give off a unique festive look. Try not to go full on patterned out from head to toe or you might be mistaken for a holiday gift.

Fur-ever Faux
Want to look super chic this winter, save cash and unlock your inner Wintour or Zoe? How about doing it while saving thousands of little critter lives at the same time? If you answered yes to these questions, consider adding some faux fur pieces to your wardrobe this season. An undeniable popular trend this winter, faux fur is out being seen out on the streets and on the runways. By adding simple pieces to an outfit, like a faux fur scarf or trimmed jacket, you can transform your look from street to chic. Why not be daring and take on a full winter coat? Fake isn’t great, but when it comes to fur, there’s an acceptable reason not to sport the real thing. Your furry little friend and many more will thank you.
