PSA: These Holiday-Party Outfits Are Very In

We’re in the midst of holiday-party season. If you’re planning out what to wear, this year, take a note from the fashion set to arrive in the most directional look at the event. This edit doesn’t involve event-specific shopping but rather pulling impactful pieces that have been on the rise in the fashion space overall.

A renewed sense of modern sophistication has ushered in dresses and tops with cape details. Tassel-embellished jewelry and minaudière bags are the outfit-finishing pieces insiders aren’t leaving the house without. The same thing can be said for a touch of polished satin or leopard in the form of everything from separates to pillbox hats. Each of these buzzy pieces is primed for a stylish wardrobe, whether it’s a street style look or an office holiday party, so I’d suggest investing in items that work across multiple occasions. Ahead, shop the edit of pieces to wear to holiday parties and beyond.

Modern Sophistication

From dresses and tops with built-in cape details to tactile fringe jackets, fashion is turning to a new sense of dialed-up sophistication. The pieces feel modern and impactful, yet still sleek and polished.

Add a Tassel

Directional jewelry brands including Sophie Buhai and Le Sundial are doubling down on tassel-detail jewelry. Those who are in the know are adding the pieces to their looks, holiday party or not.

Polished Satin

Satin always feels relevant for holiday-party season. This year, we're seeing it play out in polished, modern ways such as draped tops, cigarette pants, and kitten-heel pumps.

Minaudière Bags

Small clutches with decorative details are yet another key accessory for the holiday season. Some of the standout styles are adorned with everything from tassels to spiraled metal closures.

Finished With Leopard

Whether worn head to toe or added via an accessory to break up an all-black look, leopard is the print of the season. Right now, a pillbox hat in leopard feels especially relevant for holiday dressing.
