There are many of us that are apart of the living room fits community for the holiday. We live near and far, but the fashions always hit for the holidays, we’re worldwide. I know that I’m a person that dresses up for every holiday even if it’s just sitting at someone’s house including my own. I feel like being dressed up completes the holidays, I don’t do it to be extra or stand out from everyone else it’s just something that I love and do for me. So I want to give you some ideas and tips on how to slay for the holidays.
Fur
As you all are probably aware of by now my favorite thing is fur, whether it’s a coat, an accessory, on shoes, or attached to some clothing it’s ALL my favorite. Fur is perfect for your holiday wardrobe because it puts you in the instant mind of the holiday season and winter. With fur it’s only right that you are dressed to the nines whether it is subtle or blatant. Fur makes everything look precise and pristine.
Metallics
Metallics are always instant glam no matter the color, it speaks party instantly. With metallic pieces it allows you to be versatile in how you style it, the metallic piece can be the main focus but it doesn’t have to be you can do whatever you want with your jewelry and other accessories. Metallics allow for you to easily transition from the family dinner/gathering to the after party. Your level of dressiness can vary when you’re playing with metallics because you are able to dress it down and be more casual but still look put together.
Sequins
Sequins is always a way to be very glam and festive which is usually the route we take for Christmas. With sequins there’s a way to do it right and a way to do it completely wrong, you want to go for pieces that are intentional with the sequins and not anything that looks like it belongs in the 60s or 70s at a disco. You can do a full sequins outfit or just one sequins piece. I would only say wear statement jewelry if the sequins is on your bottoms and you have a more plain top, if you’re doing a sequins dress or jumpsuit keep the jewelry simple.
Jewelry
For the holidays you can spice up an outfit with amazing accessories like earrings that are a great statement and make you look like you put a little bit of extra effort into your outfit. You can do a bold necklace as well but if you go this route be minimal with your earrings. Adding jewelry can upgrade your last minute outfit that you didn’t think was that cute. Y’all know I love a good bold earring and sometimes that’s all you need.
Red
As we know red is the color of the Winter holidays so of course it would be perfect to wear on Christmas. Red is an amazing bold color that’s perfect for fashion in all forms. It’s great to implement it into your holiday look but you also don’t want to look like a Christmas decoration, to be fashionable and not overboard you can wear a red lip, or red bottoms or a red top or even red accessories but NOT ALL AT ONCE.
Flare
We always need a little bit of flare especially during the holidays. You can add some flare to your outfit with a bomb third piece like a blazer or coat or fringe, ruffles, and bomb shoes. Your flare could be anything, this will add to your outfit and bring the whole idea full circle, bringing your vision to life perfectly. Take the time to figure out your idea for your holiday fit or your base and then keep turning up the knob for your flare as much as you want until you’re satisfied.
Overall the key to creating a bomb holiday look is figuring out what you want to look like, what aesthetic or look you want to give off, do you want to be dressed up or down and where you’re going. It’s great to plan ahead (I start thinking like a month in advance smh) because that allows you to make changes if you want, but if you want until the last minute there’s still hope.
