In light of the holiday season, I thought I would give you some fashionable ideas on what to wear…and what are some holiday fashion No, No’s!  Holidays are always fun, but if you have a party to go to, or just want to look good while with family and friends, the outfit is usually the hardest thing to plan.  This season, you should first try using some black lace.  By using black lace, you will be able to show off some of those revealing areas (cleavage, arms, and back).  Black is not only slimming but it can also make you look very chic! Also, metallic is a very vibrant for the holiday season. These include: Gold, bronze, champagne, and silver.  Next is sequins.  With sequins you want to keep the silhouette fresh.  In other words,  look for beading on the hems or just around the neckline.  Lastly, a little black or red dress is also going to be a big hit.  Look for winter-only fabrics like velvet or wool.  Either way, both black and red are popular colors and can look great on anyone.

While you want to look festive for the holiday season, there are a few mistakes you can make!  First of all, you want to make sure that you aren’t wearing too much glitz.  The big thing about wearing metallic and sequins is that too much shine can overwhelm anyone, so try and keep it to a minimum. Next, don’t show too much skin. Mini-skirts etc. can be hot, but they are not too hot for holiday parties.  No everyone can pull off being a runway model, so you probably should wear stuff that accents you beauty….like lace trimmed camisole under a blazer hints at great cleavage, a small slit on a skirt gives a glimpse at gorgeous legs, a halter dress shows off toned arms. When dressing for a party or family gathering during the holidays, there is no need to stress and make the outfit more complicated than it needs to be.  In cases like this, go with a classic style such as the little black or red dress. Lastly, try not to be under-dressed or over-dressed!  Either find out whether it is a casual or cocktail party, or again, go with a classic style.
