Holiday Style

Holiday fashion is all about the glittery glamour. With many different social events ranging from family get-togethers to New Years Eve bashes, you’ll be working your wardrobe constantly for the perfect holiday outfits. Many of the people you’ll be running into this time of year are people you may not have seen in a while. Why not give your best impression by putting your best fashion foot forward? Here are some style tips to make sure you do just that:

Romance

This time of year makes you think of the most popular four letter word in the world – love. Celebrate the time you’re sharing with your loved ones by stepping out in an outfit you love. This season its all about having a love affair with your wardrobe, exuding romance by wearing a winter white, neutral or a pastel colour, rather than a plain old little black dress. For Winter 2011, think swan princess, with colour trends that are fresh, feminine and pretty.

Mixing Textures

Achieve a romantic, classic and stylish ensemble by pairing different textures together. Try some lace mixed with embellishments, or tulle with sequins. Its best to go with separates, rather than a dress of mixed texture, simply because you’ll be able to create more outfits while buying fewer pieces. The season must have is a tutu, and is something you should splurge on. With one tutu, you’ll be able to create multiple outfits that look entirely different from one another. Just by switching up your top, stockings and accessories, you’ll be able to come up with several different holiday outfits! This way you’ll be right on trend, but you won’t need to go out and find different dresses for every one of your social events this month.

Glitz and Glam

The key to getting glam while maintaining your personal style is to add small touches of shine to your wardrobe. A pair of cluster earrings or a statement ring is an easy way to add that glitter to a casual look or to an older item you’d like to restyle and re-wear. The glamour is all in the details; try a sparkly belt or a festive pair of shoes. This season its less about being bold and more about celebrating great personal style.
