Rich burgundy and black are classic holiday colors, and this outfit has different textures mixed in. The suede heels, fur skirt and snakeskin clutch give this look the perfect dose

of holiday spirit without being too cliche.

Velvet is a hot trend this year, so a velvet jacket is totally chic. Pair it with skinny pants and sexy stilettos for an edgy look that will make you

stand out in the crowd. For an evening soiree, stick to dark colors like black and burgundy.

Throw on that sheer white button down to create a menswear inspired holiday look. Then add a sequin mini skirt and faux fur coat to take your look up a

few notches and dazzle! With different textures combined like this, stick to a monochrome palette to keep your look classy.

Sequins, polka dots and tulle, oh my! But this ensemble is rad because while it's got the "shimmer & shine" thing going on, it doesn't have any standard holiday colors.

The focus of this look is on the individual pieces, which make a bold statement that is anything but ordinary.

As it gets closer to Christmas and New Year's, sequins are going to be making more appearances. The idea of doing sequins in blue is awesome because it isn't to

be expected. Tone down the look with other blue pieces that aren't as flashy, so your sequined piece gets all the attention.

If your natural style is more casual, don't fret about being dressed up enough for holiday celebrations. A festive sweater worn with a comfortable skirt and tights will be dressy

enough without taking away from your individual style. Sometimes you make the biggest impression by taking the "less is more" approach.
