Halloween out, Christmas and New Year in—start piecing together your holiday outfit as early as now

Anything goes when it’s party season. Going all out is actually encouraged; layer on the glitzy, the theatrical, and the glittery. It’s a maximalist’s dream—and it only happens once a year.

Plus, curating the perfect holiday outfit for the countless parties takes time, which is something most of us are running short on this time of year. Below, a groundwork for the upcoming occasions.
