We are almost in the thick of the holiday season and that means it’s time to secure a few special clothing pieces for the fun events that are sure to follow.
Whether you’re anticipating attending holiday parties, hosting relaxing gatherings with family and friends, or visiting some fun holiday-themed attractions in your hometown, there are plenty of reasons to get dressed up with some festive spirit!
To make sure you look and feel your best during any festive event, we’ve highlighted some of the trendiest and most useful pieces you should incorporate into your wardrobe.
Luxurious Fabrics
The holidays are a time for celebration, and that means looking and feeling your best, no matter the occasion. An easy and effective way to accomplish this is by putting on one or more clothing pieces that are made of luxurious fabrics like velvet, sequins, or cashmere.
Typically reserved for fancier occasions, clothing pieces in any of these fabrics are sure to make a statement at any holiday gathering, while still being very much on theme for the holiday season. There are actually plenty of ways to incorporate these textures into more casual looks as well.
From a simple velvet turtleneck paired with jeans, to a sequined pull-over sweater paired with leggings and boots, you can subtly incorporate as much or as little luxury as you want into any outfit.
Comfortable Basics
Basic clothing pieces are a necessity in your wardrobe all year round, but especially in the colder months for layering and outfit building purposes. Be sure to put just as much effort into selecting your basic undergarment pieces, even though they likely won’t be visible. From socks, to tights, to underwear and bras, all of these foundational pieces are just as important as the rest of your outfit.
Use your basic undergarment pieces to your advantage this festive season. For example, if you are wearing an outfit that requires tights, we all know those are a sorry excuse for warmth. Instead, layer a pair of fleece-lined tights in a color that best matches your skin tone underneath your tights of choice. This way, you’ll feel extra warm, and no one will know the difference.

Additionally, your panties are another important part of your outfit, especially if you’re wearing a particularly tricky outfit that requires an underwear solution. For a versatile pair that can accommodate any outfit needs, stretchy boy shorts are a great solution. This specific style provides full coverage and hides any unwanted underwear lines from showing underneath your clothing.
While your undergarments may not seem like something you should take a lot of time with while getting dressed, taking a few extra minutes to select just the right pieces will make all the difference.
Glamorous Accessories
Another great way to express yourself and be perfectly on theme for the season is to break out our most glamorous accessories. Whether it’s costume jewelry or real jewels and diamonds, layering on the bling is perfect for the occasion.
During the winter time, darker and more muted colors tend to be the trend. The benefit with wearing such muted colors is that your accessories will be able to stand out much more against your outfit. From rich golds to sparkling gems, the more ostentatious the better.
Use this time of year to be your most glamorous self, even if you aren’t attending a big, fancy gathering. Simply wear smaller statement pieces if you plan to attend a more intimate gathering. You can still wear any of your favorite sparkly or shiny jewelry pieces, but instead opt for pieces in a smaller size, or wear fewer pieces altogether.
