Holiday party season is here and do not turn down an invitation because you have nothing to wear. Having a few key pieces will get you through the season.
1. A Classic Dress
This can be a little black dress, if black looks good on you, or navy, brown, red, green or even winter white. For maximum versatility, it should have simple lines and some sort of sleeve. That way, you can add glitzy jewelry to dress it up for cocktail parties and black tie events or add feminine pearls for nice dinners and the theater.
2. A Dressy Top
This can be anything that exudes evening, from a silk, satin or sequined top to a lace blouse. Pair it with a skirt or pants, wear it under a suit, or mix it with your other evening pieces for an elegant, classic look.
3. A Party Skirt or Pair of Pants
A simple knee-length skirt or pair of pants in an elegant material and neutral color can take you to a variety of functions for the season. Pair them with your dressy top, a trendy blouse or sweater with knockout jewelry.
4. Dressy Shoes
Sandals, pumps, peep-toe, or slingbacks in metallic, lace, or satin will upgrade almost anything else you are wearing to a more formal status. Pair them with a suit, a simple sheath, or whatever, for a glamorous evening look.
5. An Evening Bag
A simple small evening bag either in a neutral or a fun accent color will instantly upgrade your attire to a more formal status.
6. Evening Jacket or Shawl
An evening jacket or shawl in fur, velvet, or satin in your neutral or an accent color will complete the evening look.
So should you have ALL of these pieces in your wardrobe? Ideally, yes, particularly if your lifestyle carries you through a wide variety of activities. Enjoy the party season feeling great about your appearance.
