There’s plenty of cause for excitement during the holiday season, and let’s be honest — the outfits play a big part. Where holiday gatherings with family friends may have been kept to a minimum last year and a grandiose ensemble might have been furthest from mind, consider this your moment if you’ve yet to make a return to opulence.
It’s typically all about the sparkle this time of year, and now, there’s no better time to rethink what that means. Rather than reaching for just another sequined-out dress, consider playing around with how to weave that glitz and glam into your outfits this year. Maybe it’s a crystal-encrusted heel, or the piping of your dress, or gigantic bow-shaped earrings (yes, they exist). Then, feel free to let smaller items such as your shoes or handbag handle the bursts of color in your look, if you’d rather keep the rest of your outfit on the neutral side.
For those willing to go all out, we of course completely support dressing head to toe in red as well. From statement dresses to awe-worthy accessories, these pieces will take the stress out of your holiday outfit shopping, so you can focus on snagging the right gifts for your loved ones.
