A Satin Story –
If you want to instantly dress up any outfit, all you have to do is add a dose of satin. Even jeans are holiday-party appropriate when paired with, say, a satin top. As the influencers pictured below prove, ivory satin is particularly popular this season, but no colors are excluded from the trend. Whether you opt for a soft pastel, a bold hue, or basic black, if it’s made of satin, it’ll look luxurious.

Festive Faux Fur –
Not all festive trends are cold-weather-friendly, but one that undoubtedly would be faux fur. Fur coats and accessories make even the most basic of outfits look special (even sweats, as London-based influencer Lucy Williams displayed below). A black coat is always great to have on hand during the holiday season, but I have my eye on chocolate brown or leopard print (more on that below) faux fur this season, which I’ll be pairing with jeans, miniskirts, and everything else.

Sequins, Obviously –
Sequins during the holidays are a no-brainer to say the least, but this year they’re more popular than ever. Designers are finding more unique, sophisticated ways than ever to use sequins, so gone are the days when all there was were silver disco ball–adjacent pieces. And if you don’t want to go full sparkle, there are plenty of bags, shoes, and other sequined accessories on the market to choose from.

L For Leopard –
Leopard print may not typically be the most obvious choice for holiday occasions, but this year is different. It’s turned out to be one of F/W 24’s most popular trends, and it comes in the form of a wide variety of festive pieces from satin pants to standout accessories to bold outerwear. This holiday season, I’ll be wearing it in small doses. A leopard-print miniskirt paired with a black turtleneck, sheer tights, and black pumps or knee boots is my idea of the perfect holiday party outfit.

Special Statement Accessories –
The holidays are not the time for the old “less is more” adage. It’s the season of more is more, if you ask me, and a great way to achieve an all-out festive look is with accessories. Whether you opt for a sparkly statement ring such as the Bvlgari treasure below, a trend-forward hat, catchy neck piece/earrings or a designer hair accessory (to name a few options), you’ll certainly look the holiday-season part. And nothing is as much of a compliment magnet as a cool accessory. Conversation starter, found.

Burgundy Red –
As I’m sure you’re aware, burgundy is *the* color of the season. While I’ll never tired of classic red, burgundy is a bit more unexpected of a choice during the holidays and is equally festive. I love burgundy head to toe, which has been a popular way of wearing it among influencers this season, but since it’s an exceptionally versatile color, you can pair it with a wide variety of neutrals and non-neutral hues. But if you really want to embrace the season, go with forest green, navy blue, purple or metallic silver or gold. Compliments guaranteed!!
