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.

An effective detail such as the rhinestones turns a basic sweater into something not-so-basic. The embellished gems elevate this otherwise simple knit into an occasion-worthy piece—without compromising comfort.
Sequined Skirt
Get all the drama in a skirt with a sequined number and turn into a disco ball. It has movement, makes a statement, and their unrivaled shine transforms your outfit into something that turns heads.
Metallic Leather Bow Mules
The ultimate holiday exclamation point to any outfit? These metallic heels. Even your most basic outfits will give off that merry spirit with these shoes—whether you’re wearing them with jeans and a sweater or an LBD. The icing on the cake are the ribbons on top.
Velvet Midi Dress
A little black dress is essential to any party wardrobe. Said dress needs a little pizazz for the holidays. In this case, go with some velvety shine and ruching at the waist—and look effortlessly glamorous at whatever party you’re going to.

Your arm candy of choice has the power to make or break your entire look, so get a bag that doesn’t shy away from the spotlight. While mini, this silver beaded accessory packs a powerful punch.
