HOW TO STYLE.. FESTIVE WEAR
Bling it on!
The festive season sparkles with a type of magic that makes everything feel a little warmer, a little brighter, and a lot more joyful. We dress up not just for the photos or the parties, but because slipping into something special helps us step into the spirit of celebration itself.
But when December arrives, the question is always the same: what to wear? From office parties to Christmas concerts, backyard barbecues to family lunches; a sense of overwhelm begins to creep in.
Having an intentional and well-prepared wardrobe that embraces the festive cheer will become your lifesaver.
Let this season welcome a change of pace and a change of wardrobe, with some added glitz, glamour; and good old fashioned Christmas cheer!
Here are 5 Styling Tips to Make Magic This Festive Season:
Have Fun with Fabrics
Metallics, velvets, satin and rhinestones instantly inject a joyous dopamine hit to your outfits. These bold and beautiful fabrics embody the holiday spirit and allow you the freedom to be as creative and decorative as you wish.
Focus On Festive Colours
Many of us typically dress in safe colour ways throughout the year and associate colours such as black, white and neutrals with the mundane life schedule. Let this be your sign to lean into the Christmas cheer, with traditional tones such as red, green, white and gold.
Sprinkle Some Sparkle
For a winningafter-dark look that truly stands out from the crowd, add a little extra sparkle or dazzle yourself silly in sequins. Your outfit deserves to shine this season and sequins are a surefire way to make an entrance to the party!
Kid Friendly Options
The end-of-year dance concerts, graduations, and school award ceremonies often require a more conservative look that is appropriate for an audience of children and teachers. A smart pant set, a feminine maxi dress and higher necklines are great options for this festive space.
Add Some Personality
If dressing in Christmas colours and sparkles is a little too over-the-top for your personal style, add a cheerful dash of personality to your outfit through your accessories. Bows, gemstones, rubies or emeralds are lovely choice to complete your look.
