How to Dress for Every Occasion on Your Holiday Agenda
Although the festive season brings plenty of smiles and cheer, it also brings a lot of stress. Choosing your wardrobe shouldn't be part of it. This holiday season, fret less about your outfits with these quick-and-easy hacks to keep you looking fabulous for any gathering on your agenda.
Staying Cozy and Chic for Holiday Travel
Don't let long security lines and delayed flights get you down this holiday season. Stay looking sharp and feeling cozy with a chunky women's cardigan sweater. Cardigans are wonderful for their flexibility. Sitting under a cold air vent? Throw on your cardigan and snuggle up. Stuck on a stuffy plane? Wear a cozy cotton tee underneath so you can quickly adapt to rapid temperature swings associated with travel. Bonus points if you use your sweater as a pillow on those long flights!
Keep comfort and flexibility in mind as you travel for the holidays. Tired of taking your shoes off at security? Ditch the bulky boots and opt for a comfy pair of flats instead; just be sure to wear something with ample support if you're doing a lot of walking from gate to gate. If you're on the road, wear cozy bottoms like a fashionable pair of jeggings or your favorite pair of comfy jeans.
The Perfect Office Party Attire
Be the star of the show at your holiday office party with a sophisticated look that's fun and festive. Wear a fashion-forward pencil skirt with a glitzy top for a festive look that is both chic and professional.
If dresses and skirts aren't your thing, go for a wide-legged, high-waisted slack with a festive blouse for a look that's ready for the dance floor but still brings out the professional woman in you. Office holiday parties are the perfect opportunity to mix work-appropriate fashion with a bit of night-on-the-town glam.
Look Adorable at the Ugly Sweater Party
There's something fun about wearing that gaudy sequin-infested sweater for a holiday gathering. Keep it cozy and casual with a pair of tan corduroy pants for women. Alternatively, balance your big, chunky sweater with a pair of skinny jeans or leggings to draw attention to your best ugly sweater.
The best part about themed parties is the accessories. Pump up the cheesy look with big, chunky bangles and dangly earrings for a holiday overload that's guaranteed to put a smile on your face. What other time can you get away with fun light-up costume jewelry and other silly accessories that put the cheer in the season?
How to Dress to Impress With Friends and Family
Family time over the holidays doesn't need to be stressful. Put some holiday cheer on everyone's faces this season with matching family Christmas pajamas. Take silly family photos you'll look back on for years to come and plan a pancake breakfast to celebrate the winter season.
When it comes to gathering with family and friends, you don't need to fuss about getting too fancy. Relax with family and pair a so-cozy-I-could-sleep-in-it sweater with comfy jeans and plush wool socks. Dress for the cozy weather, curl up and bond with your loved ones this season. It's time for cuddles, hot cocoa and making memories.
Date Night Just Right
Take a break from your social obligations and enjoy the magic of the season with your loved one. Go on a horse-drawn carriage ride or peep the neighborhood decorations. Throw on your favorite flannel shirt with a pair of high-rise jeans just right for snuggling.
For fancier date nights, put on your best LBD and dress it up with a pair of sparkling wool leggings. Accessorize with bold jewelry for a holiday look that makes you sparkle. For snowy nights, throw on a pair of calf-high boots that will command attention.
Keeping Festive During the Work Week
The days may be getting shorter, but that doesn't mean you have to let your work week be a drag. Spice up your daily routine with fun Christmas sweaters and a skinny pant. Alternatively, if you have a more casual office environment, take advantage of the season and wear your favorite flannel. Keep your workweek cozy with your favorite knits and layers you love. For more formal office attire, layer on a pencil skirt with a cute blouse and a cozy cardigan for a sophisticated yet comfortable look. Wear wooly layers to stay warm while still showing off your professional side.
Your holiday season can stay stylish without the stress. Remember to dress down and stay cozy when you can, then bring up the glam for fancy and fun holiday events this season.
