Building a holiday ensemble goes well beyond color palette. As you assemble, consider your desired effect. How different textures compliment or contrast will enhance the overall impact.
Luxe Look
Velvet’s rich sheen brings an element of elegance to the table. Consider: constructed blazers, wide-legged pants.
Faux fur adds warmth and a touch of sophistication. Consider: vintage collars, fluffy cuffs, cozy stoles.
Glitz and Glam
Sequins catch the light beautifully and embrace the festive spirit. Consider: show-stopper dresses, sparkly tops.
Beaded accessories also add a glittering effect. Consider: beaded clutches, bejeweled headbands.
Modern Edge
Metallic fabric catches the eye and introduces a contemporary feel. Consider: blouses, skirts.
Leather adds edgy and stylish contracts to softer textures. Consider: well-worn jackets, mid-length skirts, high-rise pants.
Timeless Touch
Tweed and plaid are holiday classics for a reason. Consider: fitted blazers and pleated skirts.
