If there is one thing that most of us look forward to, it’s special occasions to step things up and even more so during the holidays. Satin, velvet, sequins – you name it, they all make up some of our most amazing looks this time of year and rarely (if ever) make an appearance outside of this season.
Yet the truth is that the glitz and glam of the season can still carry over into the new year and beyond. Just think of it adding a sense of bold playfulness to your looks. Even the most mundane days can be leveled up with some elegance and shine tossed its way so here are a few ways you can do so.
Casual Lux Satin
Satin skirts are the piece to have on hand that is perfect for transitioning between occasions and seasons. Options like the Juliet Wrap Skirt and the Diane Midi Bias Skirt can be dressed down by pairing it with a great sweater; be it a simple knitted turtleneck or even a piece with puffy sleeves and jewel accents like the Caslid Pearl Crew-Neck Top. Add a pair of combat boots or even chunky sneakers to contrast from the luxuriousness of the skirt.
That being said, when styling an outfit like definitely consider also sizing up in the sweater for an oversized fit to lean in more to some winter cozy vibes. In this case I recommend a French tuck for a more effortless chic take.
Fun with Textured Accents
Layering this mesh Trench Duster over a long sleeve, turtle neck A-line dress to create a one of a kind plus size cocktail dress that is sure to be a conversation starter at your next holiday party. However, why not use it to add some edge to your glam, by throwing on some high waisted jeans, a solid color crop top under the duster, and let it hang open instead for drinks with the girls after work. And don’t forget to accessorize accordingly with a cute clutch and subtle jewelry for greater effect.
Sequin Shine
The shine of sequins should not be regulated to only a select few outfits, style it down for work or even play. A women’s plus size sequin top like the Morgan top paired with a collarless blazer, medium/dark wash denim and suede ankle booties will remind everyone that you are the main character in your story. Or if you’re looking to style this look down even more for a weekend trip, go for a denim jacket and some converse sneakers. The shine will have you turning heads making strangers you meet wonder who you are, where you’re coming from and where you’re going.
Never forget that the world is a runway so might as well dress like you’re going someplace better later even if it’s just a trip to Target.
