SIMPLE YET ELEGANT
This is me every year at my friend's Christmas brunch - keeping it simple, because simple is my style! If you're juggling a lot and don't have time for an elaborate outfit, go for something like a classic red or a green dress. For more comfort, try denim paired with a statement top.
Organza tops are making a comeback, and lace or sheer fabrics are also great choices. Add some gold or silver accessories to complete the look. For the men, nothing beats a simple polo shirt, I'm sure everyone has one in their wardrobe. The trick is to pick colors from the holiday palette; if you're wearing blue jeans, try pairing them with a black organza or a green or white blouse with dramatic sleeves.
PRINTS
Bold colours and playful prints are undeniably the easiest way to stand out in a crowd. Plaid is fab but try opting for prints that are new, that look new! Bring a fresh, vibrant twist to traditional holiday style with new prints. Embrace festive motifs like cheeky reindeer prints, and graphic snowflakes in eye-catching hues like crimson red, emerald green, and electric blue. These lively patterns can be incorporated into cozy sweaters, oversized, scarves, or statement dresses that combine whimsy with comfort. For a more contemporary vibe, mix geometric prints with metallic accents, think gold foil polka dots on a deep purple backdrop or silver stripes on a rich navy base. Bold colours like fuchsia, mustard yellow, or tangerine can add a fun, unexpected pop to classic holiday styles, allowing you to step away from the usual red and green. If you're not a fan of prints, opt for bold colors like bright red or green, or stick with the classic black and red combo, perfect for holiday outfits.
