The holidays are upon us. Are you stressed about what to wear to an office party, luncheon, family get-together or formal event? Personal Stylist Kristen Ford is here to help you be well dressed and less stressed this holiday season.

If you’re shopping for something new, start by looking for these trends: faux leather, metallics, fringe, feathers, velvet and sequins. Mix and match them all, whether formal or casual.

Perhaps you don’t want to splurge on new pieces for every event. For less formal gatherings, think about dressing up your wardrobe staples or dressing down something fancier. Look through your closet with a fresh perspective and see what can be transformed into a holiday outfit! 

  • Sequin midi-skirt with a crisp white cotton blouse
  • Chocolate brown trouser with a cream blouse and suede jacket
  • Faux leather trouser with burgundy blouse and bow earrings
  • Winter white pant with embroidered sweater

These are all pieces you might already have in your wardrobe. Get creative and add some holiday sparkle and flair to your everyday pieces!

Other holiday trends include: 

Accessories:  jet black pieces, bows, personalized items, two-tone metals

Colors: burgundy, cobalt blue, cranberry, cream, mink, moss

Makeup: Soft Glam, shimmery and smoky
