December is fast approaching and that means dressing up for Christmas dinners and New Year’s Eve parties. While most of us enjoy dressing up, the price tag on some pieces will have you clinging to old outfits. Don’t break the bank trying to find an entire new look this holiday season. Instead, find pieces that have a whole lot of holiday spirit by following this season’s velvet and sequin trends.

Velvet

Velvet is a timeless choice with the ability to make you look
and feel remarkably festive. Since last fall, the popular 80s
and 90s trend reappeared on runways and was redefined
as more sleek and sophisticated than ever. A velvet dress is
the perfect outfit to celebrate NYE in this year, or try a more
casual approach by wearing a velvet top. If velvet clothing
isn’t for you, find other ways to add a bit of the material into
your outfit in, for example, your shoes or handbag.

Sequins

Rumour has it sequins are the thing to be wearing next spring. Why not get ahead of the 2018 trend and shine this holiday season by adding a sequin-embellished piece to your wardrobe now! Sequins are the perfect way to look luxe for less. In order to be mindful of how easily this material can be overdone, stick to a simple sequined tunic top and pair with basic bottoms. In these sparkling pieces, you’ll be the life of the party.

Sweaters

Who says you can’t stay cozy in your holiday attire?
After all, tis the season of sweater weather!

Not all parties you’re planning on attending this
season require you to dress up – in the most formal
sense at least. For smaller gatherings with family
and friends, a cable front sweater is a comfy and
classic choice. Make it even more festive in
holiday colours like red or white.

Get glam on a budget in these festive fabrics
and ring in the holidays looking and feeling great.
