There is no reason to hold back with your style this time of year, as the holidays are for bold, eye-catching looks with a hint of glamour! I’ve rounded up five trendy styles that will surely pull together your holiday looks just in time for a night out celebrating!

Evening-Ready Bag

Add a pop of color to an all-black ensemble with a deep maroon clutch or opt for a stylish bag with unique hardware, such as shiny metals or pearls instead.

Sequin Anything

The more bling, the better with this beloved holiday trend. Sequins are the simplest way to guarantee you’ll be stepping out in eye-catching look!

Silk Slip Dress

Shiny silk dresses are a chic alternative to sequins this time of year! Plus, slip dresses look wonderful layered beneath a kitschy holiday sweater or a chic leather jacket!

Festive Heels

2019 has truly been the year of stylish and fun footwear, so why not step up a holiday party fit with some strappy metallic heels or a crystal embellished stiletto?!

Hair Accessories

Keep it sparkly from head to toe by topping off your holiday outfit with a glitzy headband or even a couple of bold barrettes!

It’s never too early to start planning your holiday outfits. The holiday season can be stressful for so many reasons, and one of them shouldn’t be as trivial as what you’re going to wear to spend time with your family and friends. Whether you travel, go big or small, or simply spend a little extra time with loved ones, take away the stress of getting dressed out of your holiday plans so you can focus on what is really important during the season. Take a look at 5 trends for the upcoming holiday season and start planning your outfits now.

Velvet Crush

A holiday staple, you can never go wrong with velvet in any form.

Casual Sequins

Downplay the excessive manner of sequins by finding an understated sequin piece, an otherwise simple blouse, or even an accessory and pair it with basics to complete your outfit.

Unexpected Knitwear

Sweater vests, sweater midi dresses with boots, and statement sleeves on a chunky knit paired with denim and heels are easy and a comfortable go-to for casual get togethers.

A Midi Slip Dress/Skit

Dress it up, wear it casually, layer it with knits or leather; there’s no denying that a midi slip dress/skirt is one of the most versatile pieces in your closet for any occasion.

Leather or Leather Accents

Add an edgy touch to your holiday outfits with leather. For a more formal look, try a leather midi skirt paired with a silk blouse. For a casual vibe, try leather trousers and a chunky knit.

As we begin to rearrange our closets for the fall season, we will all come across certain pieces that we wish we didn’t have to give up just because there are temperature and tonal changes on the horizon. I used to agonize over putting my white booties, cream blouses and crisp white jeans away until the next year, all because of a silly fashion rule that ruled wearing white after Labor Day as a fashion faux pas. Don’t let this outdated fable rule your style anymore. See below why wearing white after Labor Day is definitely a “do!”

Nothing more classic than a crisp white button-down.

White goes so well with neutrals.

… and with bold vibrant colors.

There’s nothing quite like an all-white ensemble.

A white tee is a year-round essential.

White booties add just the right amount of chic to your casual outfit.

We deserve to wear our comfortable trainers all year.

The 4th of July is only two days away and I love a holiday that graces us with a theme for playing dress up! The holidays’ colors help narrow down your available pieces to wear and then it’s up to you and the vibe you want to convey to put them together in a way that is comfortable and festive, without ending up looking like the American flag.
I’ve taken to Instagram to round up some holiday dressing inspiration so that you don’t have to. From monochrome to color explosion, there is a 4th of July outfit below that will surely inspire your holiday dressing.
