Time is definitely running out with the holidays quickly approaching. Parties and family gatherings are filling our calendars and while making sure that everyone on our lists are covered, it can cause quite a frenzy! Waiting until the last minute to find that perfect outfit for ourselves can be even more stressful, so I ventured out for a fun afternoon to meet with my friend Marianne at Saks Fifth Avenue. She helped me find so many fun options to share! This year, I have found that finding something dressy-casual that fits my lifestyle right now is better than an over-the-top dressy outfit. Also, being comfortable while still looking fun and fresh are top requirements for me!
A little velvet, shine and sparkle can go a long way! I am loving this navy velvet halter top from Joie. I’m pretty sure I will be wearing it to a holiday party with these blue sparkly jeans by Hudson. The sparkle finish elevates edgy jeans to a totally glamorous pair and they fit amazing. This top can also be paired with black coated denim or a lighter denim for a great look as well. I love that it can be dressed up or down.
Another great jean with a fun finish is this gun metal pair by AG paired with this Ramy Brooke lace-up sleeve sweater.
I love the lace-up detail on the sleeves. It adds the perfect amount of detail since the denim is already an eye-catcher. I also love these black skinny leg frayed ankle jeans with glittering side stripes from Mother and these Joes Jeans Charlie ones. I’m a sucker for fun denim. Both of these bottoms look great with this sweater!
This Alice and Olivia naughty and nice sequin sweater is so much fun! Worn with black denim or coated jeans, this will definitely be a conversation starter wherever you wear it! The sequins brushed down spells “nice” and brushed up spells “naughty.” Now I know why my daughter always loved shirts like this when she was younger. I’ve linked several bottom options that would look great together.
For a dressier look, I love both of these dresses. This Joie wrap dress in a midnight color and the high-low ruffle trim really makes this a wonderful choice. Paired with booties or heels, it is gorgeous!
This Baily44 dress fits like a glove with sparkle to help you ring in the new year!
This floral wrap top from Alice and Olivia makes me so happy. The vibrant colors with a reversible print all the way around makes this silk top a great pick! Paired with these black pants, also from Alice and Olivia, it is a show-stopping outfit!
Another striking pant is this Cinq a Sept Jessie belted pant. I’m all about a fun look and these are definitely fun! I love the white sequin polka dots on this sheer black top with contrast piping. Chic and edgy all together!
I love camis with a pop of lace or other detail to layer under things or wear alone with a great pair of black pants. Any of these by Cami NYC would be great for the holidays.
And if you’re just looking for a pop of shimmer and shine for a casual holiday evening out, this denim jacket needs to be in your closet! Once again, such a fun piece! Glittering sequin embellishment at the shoulder enhances it with distressed detailing. Throw on a simple white long-sleeve tee under it with your favorite black jeans and you are ready to go! You can also throw on this metallic splattered fray hem button front denim shirt by Bella Dahl for a little sparkle and glam look. It is so soft and comfortable!
So many of my favorite designers to the rescue for the perfect holiday season attire! I hope my suggestions help you find the perfect outfit to celebrate the season!
Floral wrap top and pants for the win! Looks great on you.
