It’s that time of the year! We can all wear our most festive outfits. What ever that means to the individual, the holidays are the season we think about what we want to wear the most. If it’s family gatherings, parties, visiting the home tome, or meeting our friends, we want to look and feel our best. From cozy knits to sparkly dresses, there’s a lot to go through in our closets. So let’s take a look and dive into different styling options and find that party outfit.
What a wonderful time of the year – truly. Not only is winter my personal favorite season, the end of year comes with a unique energy. Maybe it’s the sugar rush, maybe it’s the excitement of starting a new year on a better note, maybe it’s the opportunity to wear party outfits – but there’s something special about that time for sure. And that energy is reflected in our wardrobe. We play with layers, knits, tights, sparkles, jewelry, and more. What an opportunity to check what’s in our wardrobe and play around a little.
Classic Party Outfit
The most iconic classic party outfit is the little black dress. It’s a true staple, never goes out of style, and looks polished on anyone. Combine it Mary-Janes and 70 den tights and style it with Swarovski earrings and an Annie Bing tweet bag. To stay warm, wrap yourself in an Ivy Oak wool coat.

Elegant Party Outfit
Tartan in a wool quality screams winter. Turn it into an elegant party outfit by wearing a suit set by Polo Ralph Lauren in combination with a lured top by Self-Portrait. Give the look a chic twist with boots and a clutch by Saint Laurent and add a cashmere scarf from Loewe. Add some classic crystals from Jennifer Behr for a final touch.

Casual Party Outfit
Stay cozy and comfortable with a casual outfit. Start with the iconic Polo Ralph Lauren Bear knit and pair it with brown pants and Ugg snow boots. Add a herringbone coat by Fillipa K and a Bottega Veneta Jodie bag in Forrest green. Elevate the look with a pair of gold hoops by Gas Bijoux.

Playful Party Outfit
Is there a better time to wear gold and sparkles than the end of the year? Make use of that opportunity with a gift-wrapping-style top, glittery jeans, and bejeweled pumps. Add the iconic Rabane bag and pile on jewelry by HeyHarper. This outfit promises fun – for you and anyone you meet.

Weekly inspiration
This week’s inspiration are department stores. More importantly, department stores pre Christmas. Strolling through a department store in December really puts me in the Christmas spirit the second I enter them. It’s the peek of the year for the decoration and the entire place gives off this unique Christmas energy. It’s the excitement you felt as a child when Christmas and the new year were approaching.
