Christmas always screams bright red, forest green, and glittering sequins. Even though these are all good options, their use is rather limited – oftentimes, they can only be worn once a year before they are destined to collect dust. So, in this era of stylish meets mindful dressing, let’s dive into what to buy and wear this Christmas that can also be worn for future occasions.
Sequin dress
A sequin dress in red is certainly festive and suitable for Christmas wear. However, a sequin dress in black is a completely different story. Suddenly, it’s suitable for birthday parties, New Year’s Eve, a night out with your girls, and even concerts – the possibilities become endless. Take Taylor Swift as an example: as someone who has worn dangles on stage, at parties, and on carpets. You can pair this fabric with gold or diamond jewelleries for Christmas, or swap heels for boots for a year-long nighttime staple.
Neon green
Green is a good go-to colour for Christmas – but dark green can sometimes read a little mature and outdated. If you want something fresher this holiday season, try opting for a lighter green shade, such as neon green. Its lively hue lifts your complexion while adding a modern twist to the traditional holiday palette. It is fabulous for Christmas get-togethers and can then be reworn for your prospective summer lunches.
Sheer dress
For the ladies embracing both their sensuality and femininity this festive season, you can try opting for a long sheer dress. The white dress Kylie Jenner wore for last year’s Jean Paul Gaultier Haute Couture show is the epitome of timeless clothing that is suitable for any occasion. The contrasting opacities also adds an illusion of subtle layering, perfect for a polished look with minimal effort. Pair it with icy diamonds and you might just be the talk of Christmas.
Satin fabrics
Another option for a graceful look this Christmas is a satin ensemble. From a satin pyjama set for a laid-back feel to a satin dress for a chic vibe, the natural sheen from the fabric stunningly reflects the twinkling Christmas lights. Our styling tip would be to pair it with a red lipstick – it’s a match like toast and butter and thankfully, it is not restrained to the holiday season.
Tailored silhouettes
Whether you are embracing the corporate-core aesthetic or heading straight from the office to a festive function, a sharply tailored white outfit is always a good choice. You can keep it monotonous or add a hint of green or red accessory as an eye-catching statement. Pair it with gold jewellery and it delivers the perfect powerful attitude that brings a certain je ne sais quoi.
Fringe details
A flowy or textured dress – like fur, feathers, or fringe – just screams party-ready. The best part is that these pieces are not limited to Christmas. Be it matte or sparkly, bright or muted – the movement does the talking, coating you in attention at any celebration. Elevate the look further by pairing it with jewellery to let the textures shine.
