Step Up Your Holiday Fashion

Stylist To The Stars Offers Tips For Party Season

Every holiday season, it’s the same questions – What should I buy my father? What should I put on the holiday card? But most importantly – What should I wear to the holiday party?!

Having styled celebrities like Shania Twain, Charles Kelley, Hannah Brown, and JoAnna Garcia Swisher, stylist Olivia Rose Mobley has a chic and innovative approach to fashion. This year, Olivia has some tips to get you rockin’ around the Christmas tree in style. We followed Olivia to e.Allen Boutique in Franklin to see some of her picks for the season.

It’s no question that sequins make for festive attire. But you don’t always have to wear them head to toe. “Instead of buying a sequin dress that you just kind of like,” says Olivia, “think about pairing a favorite sweater or black blazer with a sparkly bag or a pair of statement earrings.”

Another stylish approach to take this season is to reach for more muted, deeper tones of the traditional holiday colors. “You could try a dark forest green or a maroon instead of being so on-the-nose with red and green,” says Olivia. "Deeper colors will create a chicer look."

“Knee-high boots are still going to be trending this fall and winter,” says Olivia. As an effortless way to add a flair to your outfit, you can dress them up with a mini dress or you can take out your favorite pair of skinny jeans for a spin this season and pull a knee-high boot over them.

Another way to spruce up your holiday wardrobe is to try on a new coat. “I think developing a solid base to your look and then adding a fun coat or an exciting over-layer is a great way to add some rotation to your wardrobe."

Lastly, focus on investing in items with longevity that you can rotate throughout the seasons. “Focus on what works for you and what you love and then how to bring some current flair into that,” says Olivia.
