What makes an Outfit Festive?

Knowing how to put together a festive outfit with pieces already in your wardrobe, can make the party season so much easier.

The festive season can be a challenging time for many reasons but being ready for the many parties and gatherings around this time of year can reduce the stress around what to wear.

Metallics and sparkles can really say “party time” when added to an outfit.

How do you know what to wear to these parties? Well let’s break it down. You want something about your outfit to be special and out of the ordinary. Here is what you can add to an otherwise simple outfit, to add a festive feel.

  1. A special pair of shoes in a bright colour, a metallic leather or with an embellishment.
  2. A piece of clothing made of a luxurious fabric like chiffon, velvet, sequin or silk can elevate your outfit from ordinary to extraordinary.
  3. A cheery festive colour – metallics and/or bright colours, can really say “party”
  4. A special piece of jewellery like statement earrings or a long necklace will add more interest to the overall outfit.

No matter if it’s a simple dress that’s already in your wardrobe, or you want to add something special to your favorite jeans and t-shirt, any of the elements discussed can boost the festive feels of an outfit.

Think about adding some of these items to your wardrobe so you won’t have to run out to your favorite store at the last minute, when an invitation to an event arrives. Adding one piece to an outfit you already have can add the party vibe without the need to purchase a new outfit for each gathering.
