These style must-haves will help you make a stellar look this festive season
The holiday season is not just about the nostalgic Yuletide carols, the sumptuous feasts, enchanting decors, and creating special moments, it is also a time for people to be present and show up wearing their best ‘fits. From pieces made with the lushest fabrics to clothing in a variety of colors and textures, holiday dressing is always imbued with a sense of fun and the spirit of celebrations. If you’re looking for ways to turn your closet staples into the perfect party ensembles, below are some tips and must-have pieces that will help you slay the style game this season.
Go for easy knits
As the weather becomes colder, having a trusty cardigan, sweater, and other knitwear pieces is a must. It allows you to play with layering with staples that are already present in your wardrobe. A classic white shirt or blouse paired with denim can be elevated with a knit vest like The Editor’s Market’s Mykael top. Go for something edgy by pairing Love, Bonito’s Isbeth asymmetric knit toga top with a dark mini-skirt or flare pants.
Add a dose of sparkle
The holiday season is the perfect time to shine—literally. Think of crystals, sequins, and all things metallic. The key to wearing such statement items is to make them the highlight piece. Add a dose of sparkle to a basic dress or a denim-on-denim combo with a jazzy pair of footwear like Keds’ Champion Glitter shoes. While the iconic little black dress is the perfect canvas for Marks and Spencer’s sequin relaxed bomber jacket.

Bloom with 3D florals
The floral trend this year goes beyond just print. Blooms of different kinds take their ultimate forms as rosette embellishments to botanical fabric manipulation, scarf flowers, and other 3D floral accessories. Take inspiration from fashion designer Rosanna Ocampo-Rodriguez’s 15th-anniversary collection. Dubbed “Amore Mio,” the collection features pieces in modern floral brocade and oversized laser-cut flowers, among others, that are the very definition of modern romantic.
Go for bold colors
Go full-on party mode with the season’s festive hues. As the holidays fast approach, the Snidel and Fray I.D. holiday collection presents fun, chic, celebrate-ready styles to help make every moment memorable. When it comes to rocking a bold hue, remember to opt for a timeless silhouette. It keeps the look clean and lets the color shine. — John Legaspi
