‘Tis the season to put the happy back in Happy holidays and the Joy in enJoy as we celebrate with family and friends once again. For many, we have not seen our loved ones in almost two years, so let’s embrace the power of a transformative party look and spend time together.  We’re rediscovering how to dress up with the vivid hues, prints, and textures in our wardrobe.  No matter what your social calendar looks like, I’ve compiled a list of the ten hottest holiday fashions.

Pump it up– A pair of crystal encrusted pumps look ultra-festive and irresistibly! Step out in style this season with embellished shoes to highlight your way.

Leather with leather- Leather is literally the hottest fashion trend for the holidays: from leather pants to leather skirts, to leather dresses. Be sure to take care of your leather fashion, so it will last forever.

Sweater Dress Cozy sweater dresses in cashmere and wool rule! Knit dresses are  incredibly comfy and  versatile looking equally stylish with sneakers, heels and boots. You can dress them up for date night with heeled booties and bold statement earrings or go casual for a weekend at home with Keds.

The Little Black Dress- The LBD is a wardrobe staple and this year it has a new look with cut-outs! The LBD is a reliable look for every occasion: wedding, date-night, office party, meetings, and dinners. This dress fits in everywhere from more casual occasions to upscale events, it just depends on the cut of the dress and how you style it. The dress is your canvas, and your accessories tell your story.

Colorful Velvet- Velvet is trending for the new season. Invest in rich textural, glamorous pieces- bodycon dresses and sharp velvet blazers in gem-bright hues and groovy prints.

The Jumpsuit- A chic jumpsuit is easy and convenient way to alleviate all your holiday outfit-making decisions. It looks like you tried harder to appear fancy and put-together. Yet, this festive look is simple and can be paired with flats or heels to stand out!

Check It Out– Checks in the form of tartan and gingham are making a reappearance. Vibrant plaids and checks are a style staple for cooler seasons from gingham trousers to beautiful check dresses. Plaid will dominate the first part of the year too.

Top Off with a Hat- The baseball cap is the coolest chic headwear. The baker’s boy hat, the bucket hat and faux fur hats are fashionable, too.

Hair Accessories- The biggest hair accessory trend for winter 2021 2022 is hair accessories with pearls. We are sizing down this year with smaller pearl hairpins and barrettes.  Therefore, the most fashionable pearl hair accessory is a bobby pin with a single pearl or a few pearls. A headband with pearls is also very fashionable.

Hair- Kerchief- The hair-kerchief is the most fashionable headwear of 2021. It’s easy to create this look, just get a beautiful scarf and tie it under your chin.
