Christmas & New Year Outfits
Such a fun time of year, but it can also be quite stressful. So let us
take some of the pressure off, by helping you out with your holiday outfits.
Be inspired by classic, elegant blogger Deep In Vogue, who is always dressed just right for a
special occasion. Pop on a gorgeous, feminine silk or chiffon dress, add some tights, some heels and a bit of
fur to keep you warm.
Don't forget the important accessories, a vintage leather belt, simple earrings and a gorgeous updo.
No matter what you choose to wear for your holiday event, make sure it reflects your personal style, and that
you feel super confident and beautiful in it. And don't forget to pay attention to your hair!
Ideas for Christmas
outfits:
- Red is the color of the season, so try and incorporate it into your outfit for a really festive look. Why
not pop some red berries in your hair, or slide on you favourite red shoes.
- Christmas party dresses are a great way to look good whilst celebrating with family and friends. There's a
fantastic article about christmas party
dresses at dressearch.com where you can get all sorts of hints and tips on what style will
be appropriate, and what will enhance your body shape.
- Go for a smart/casual look if you are celebrating at home with family on Christmas day. Wear something
special so that you make the day memorable, and you look phenomenal in all the photos.
- If you have a formal occasion to go to, make sure to check the dress code before choosing your outfit. Look
at photos of the event from previous years to know what styles are appropriate. If in doubt, go more glamorous
than you think is necessary!
- Do something different to your hair. To make yourself look special and ready for a party, practice
beautiful chic updos or book an appointment with your favorite hair stylist who can blow dry it to
perfection.
- Accessorise appropriately. Christmas and New Year are times for excess, so pile on the glitz with loads of
jewelry and sparkly accessories.
- Get warm with tons of layers (unless of course you live on the southern hemisphere!). Gloves, hats and
scarves are important, but if you're heading to a formal special occasion, then indulge in a fur jacket or
stole.
- Be inspired by Christmas movies like Little Women, Miracle on 34th Street and Sex and the City (not
technically a holiday movie, but there's so many special occasion outfits, it's definitely worth watching!) .
Sit with some mince pies and a cup of hot chocolate, and enjoy watching from under your warm blanket.
If you can't find the exact sort of outfit you want, why not try to design and sew your own clothes for the holiday
season? In the above picture of Deep in Vogue, she's wearing a handmade dress and a handsewn jacket! Or go
thrift and vintage shopping for some one-of-a-kind pieces
that have history.
