4 Party Looks to Re-Create If Your Holiday Vibe Is Understated Luxury
I'm not embarrassed to admit that I've been planning my holiday party outfits for months. (And I do mean months.) As predicted, this season is already scheduled to the brim with events including my company cocktail party, a New Year's Eve celebration, and an intimate dinner with friends. (I'm hosting for the first time!) This year, my holiday party attire is all about chic looks with fun, party-ready accessories. Metallic shoes, red handbags, stacks of sparkly jewelry… I want it all. This aesthetic was also the inspiration behindBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing 's latest shoot full of elevated and wearable outfits for the festive season ahead. Don't RSVP "yes" to any invite without first seeing these glamorous looks.
ELEVATED LBD
An LBD is an essential piece year-round for date nights and cocktail parties alike. But for this holiday season, new takes on the classic silhouette are the way to go. Think longer hemlines, modern silhouettes, and unique necklines such as this Tibi dress. Red accessories are arguably the most important trend of 2023, and they give any look that holiday-season flair. So add one or two for good measure.
SLEEK SUITING
Nothing says "polished" like a suit, and it's also a chic, equally glamorous alternative to a fancy dress. A silk suit styled with crystal-embellished heels and lots of diamond Cartier jewelry is a recipe for holiday outfit success.
TOTALLY TONAL
Monochromatic looks always read chic, not to mention they're wildly easy to put together. In this case, we started with a leather dress (how fun are those oversize sleeves?) and then added satin mules in the same plum hue. I love the juxtaposition between the two fabrics, and the flats add a slightly more casual yet very much on-trend feeling to the look. This Panthère watch was the excuse we needed to add that extra tonal touch thanks to its plum face that matches the dress and shoes so perfectly. It's almost too good to be true. Almost.
BEYOND THE BASICS
Whether you're going straight from the office to a holiday event or just want to give your dinner outfit a festive touch, I'd recommend committing this look to memory. After all, dressing up an everyday denim-and-button-down ensemble is so easy and so chic. Just add metallic heels (bonus points for the bow detail) and all your favorite shiny jewelry. I'm partial to stacks of yellow- and white-gold pieces from Cartier. Can you blame me?
