Holiday parties are right around the corner! The question is, what to wear to all the fancy shindigs around town? There are as many reasons to get dressed up as there are outfits to wear! It is very easy to stray from looking classy and festive to a completely hot mess. Here are a few ideas to help you look your best this holiday season.

A slim fitting knee length jewel toned dress with a v-neck collar and three quarter inch sleeves is very sleek, stylish and classy. It combines sexy with just the right amount of conservatism. Wear with a gold or silver pendant and accent with bangles of the same color. Or skip the bangles and carry a metallic clutch with a rhinestone clasp.

Sleeveless white satin dresses are reminiscent of crystalline snow, so they are perfect for holidays. Strap on silver heels and carry a silver clutch. Forego any jewelry and let your hair loose. Keep your makeup natural except for a swipe of bright red lipstick for a true snow queen look!

Nothing says holidays like sparkle and glitter, so why not go all out with them? You can wear a gold sequined tube dress with nude stockings and flesh or gold toned heels. Wrap a soft white shawl around you to stay warm. Pearl or diamond stud earrings are a good choice because they will not compete with your dress. Because this is a tube dress that exposes your neck and shoulders, you want to wear your hair pulled up to draw attention to those areas. If you need more sparkle, try a cocktail ring or thin gold bangles. Your dress is full of sparkles already so there is no need to add more.

For a funkier approach, try a black and white striped skirt paired with an embellished tank top, black stockings and glittering black heels. Add a pop of color with a bright pink clutch bag and a statement necklace. Add to that a black chiffon scarf.

If dresses and skirts are not an option, try a pair of slacks paired with a pretty top. Any color is acceptable! The holidays are full of fun and frivolity so why should your outfit stay muted and dull? Emerald green pants worn with gold heels and a gold corset is an incredibly sexy look without being too revealing. Cropped amethyst purple pants with silver heels looks stunning with a loose sweater covered in sequins. Or go monochromatic with navy pants, a periwinkle tank top, royal blue clutch and an ombre blue shawl.

Remember, the holidays only come once a year! Feel free to take risks with your holiday outfit! Keep it colorful, classy and sparkling and you won’t go wrong!
