It’s hard to believe another year is winding down so quickly, and here we are—just a few days away from saying goodbye to 2015 and welcoming 2016. In the spirit of the holiday season, today I’m going to introduce the top three holiday party styling tips so you can look your very best at any holiday occasion.

Go for Dresses & Suits
First up, one of the easiest ways to rock a holiday look is to find one fabulous piece that makes heads turn wherever you go. For instance, holiday staples such as an eye-catching dress or a well-tailored suit is sometimes all you need to stay well-dressed for the festive functions this time of the year brings. When in doubt, opt for a simple LBD (little black dress). Remember, the magic of an LBD is that it will take you to just about any party. Opt for styles featuring clean lines and crisp cuts—with fun and flirty detailing such as fringe trims, pretty bows, embellished jewels, and more. If dresses are not your idea of a party outfit, you can always go for stylish suits—the perfect alternative to a typical dress. To create a festive outfit, opt for unexpectedly bright and bold suit styles such as an all-red suit or an all-white suit made of quality fabric such as cotton, wool, silk blends, leather, or tweed.

Mix and match faux fur items
Secondly, faux fur pieces are officially “in” this season with more and more designers embracing the trend in their collections. Luxe and soft faux fur pieces such as vests, cropped capes, shawls, mufflers and more can instantly jazz up an otherwise plain outfit. For formal occasions, take a break from your regular black dress and opt for a maxi cream-colored lace dress and wrap yourself in a faux fur cape for a luxurious evening. The great thing about faux fur tops is that they can complement just about any other winter staples—everything from cropped pants and a t-shirt combo to something as plain and simple as denim jeans and sweaters. For casual functions, throw on a super soft faux fur vest over your favorite skinnies and a simple knit top and instantly give your style an instant holiday feel.

Add fab accessories
Last but not least, add accessories to spice up your look. Mix and match one big sparkling accessory at a time and pump up any holiday outfit. Bold statement pieces such as big cocktail rings, bold necklaces and earrings, wide sequin headbands, hair pins decorated with sparkles and jewels, glitter belts, long chain bags, and glitzy clutch bags are the perfect go-to pieces for the season. And don’t forget to wear the right shoes! Remember, the one item that can make or break your outfit is your shoes. Sequin decorated stiletto heels paired with a tight-fitting black dress is always a fashion do. For an ultimate party look, opt for a white lace sleeveless dress perfect for an evening out or a cocktail party. Throw on a faux fur cape and top off the look with sexy stiletto heels and an evening clutch.

Play with these tips and stay in style this holiday season!
