Dresses for the Holidays
Wednesday, December 9th, 2009The Dress is a wonderful, easy piece to add to your winter wardrobe, especially for the Holiday season.
The dress is so easy! It is the core of a pulled together look. The right dress will make a woman look great and feel terrific every time she puts the dress on.
The dress is also amazingly diverse. It can be dressed up with evening accessories, turned business under a suit Jacket and pumps and play on the weekend with boots and a boyfriend sweater. A great dress will stand alone for a great look or work with other pieces as part of an ensemble.
Use the dress in a look that suits your style best to create a great style.
- For a classic look, try a structured dress with a patent leather belt and shoes!
- Layers are a very fashion forward and great to keep the chill off. Try layering luxurious pieces over luxurious pieces like a beaded cashmere cardigan over a velvet or satin dress.
To create a festive feel with your Holiday Dress, Look for details that have a Special quality to them:
- Sparkle is a fun way to create a holiday feel to your clothing. The trick is to not over do the sparkle Rich fabrics like velvet, satin, or or even paten and metallic leather have a “special” air to them.
- A bit of lace is feminine and has a dressy look that works well with black satin or a metallic, and can be easily winterized with opaque tights and knits.
- Nothing says the winter holiday traditions more than red plaid or candy cane stripes. But beware, these are bold looks, so treat them with care and use these festive prints in moderation. For a more updated look try this year’s winter florals in red.
