Shine bright at all your festive occasions

The holiday season is officially upon us — which means it’s time to add a little festive flair to the process of getting dressed. To help you put your best foot forward, and have a little fun while you’re at it, read on for outfit inspiration for three typical December soirées.

1. Festive Drinks with Friends
Meeting up with friends to toast the silly season? Keep it effortlessly cool while maintaining cocktail glamour by combining a pair of boots with a shimmering skirt or mini dress. When it comes to jewelry, opt for the unexpected — asymmetric earrings that sparkle with every step add a glitzy, off-kilter edge.

2. Cozy Family Gathering
Be comfortable and look chic during casual, intimate settings by opting for layers of neutral monochrome tones in relaxed silhouettes. Of course, a little holiday cheer is non-negotiable — let yours shine through by way of pops of bright, festive green and accessories sprinkled with crystals. You can also forgo your “serious” sunglasses and opt for something with a playful touch — ‘tis the season, after all.

3. Glamorous Holiday Party
For your holiday “main event” — the one that leans into a cocktail dress code and lasts well into the night — make heads turn with statement mistletoe red. For the biggest impact, opt for a monochrome look and pair your red dress with a matching red party bag and a swipe of red lipstick. Sparkling accents complete the look.
