Chic Style: Trendy Christmas Attire

This season’s hottest trends make for fashionable Christmas outfits.

With Christmas a little over a week away, it’s time to start thinking of outfits for the big day. If you also celebrate Christmas Eve, that means you have to have two outfits planned for the holiday. Picking the perfect holiday outfit can be tricky since you want to dress up, but still wear something that’ll be comfortable throughout the day. Luckily, there are some great trends right now that will allow you to achieve a stylishly comfortable look!

Plaid
Plaid is having a major fashion moment right now, and has made a big comeback this season. It seems you can’t go shopping without seeing an abundance of colorful plaid patterns these days. To get in the holiday spirit, opt for a plaid button-down shirt with hints of red and green. Pair your plaid shirt with a black skirt and heels, which instantly dresses up this casual top. To add a little bit of sparkle, top it off with a flashy statement necklace. This is the perfect mix of dressy and casual! Don’t have a plaid shirt? Wear a colorful plaid scarf over a neutral top, and mix and match some bangles for a hint of glamour.

Over-the-knee boots
Like plaid, over-the-knee boots have made a big resurgence this season. They have quickly replaced booties as the current favorite in the boot world. This is likely because the Stuart Weitzman 5050 boot, the classic over-the-knee boot, is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year. What’s great about these shoes is that you have multiple ways to wear them. If you’re going for a warmer, more casual holiday look, pair them with your favorite skinny pants. To go the dressier route, complement your thigh-high boots with a red sweater dress. You can’t get more festive than red dress for Christmas!

Sequins
Sequins aren’t necessarily a trend right now, but you definitely see more of them around the holidays! Nothing gets you in the Christmas spirit quite like a sparkly sequined outfit. While head-to-toe sequin looks are reserved for New Years Eve, you can still sport this sparkly accent for your holiday parties. The key here is to pick one sparkly piece and dress around that. If you choose a sequin skirt, keep the rest of your outfit simple and wear minimal jewelry. That way, you can make a statement without being too flashy!
