Evening Wear On Holiday

It’s a night out, so you want to look your best and feel confident. But how do you dress for the occasion? We asked stylist Anna Breslaw for some tips on what to wear when you’re traveling abroad.

“If it’s a formal event — like a wedding or gala — I would recommend wearing something that you can easily slip into,” Breslaw says. “That way, if there are any unexpected changes in plans, like if someone gets sick or the party is moved to another location, you don’t have to stress about finding a new outfit.”

Breslaw suggests packing an evening gown in case of emergency and bringing along a cocktail dress for those impromptu parties where everyone is dressed up but no one knows why. A few other evening-wear essentials are smart shoes (think pumps), a clutch and jewelry.

If you’re attending an informal event such as dinner at an upscale restaurant or drinks at someone’s home, Breslaw recommends choosing something comfortable yet elegant that won’t make you sweat while walking around town all day long. She recommends dresses with pockets if they’ll fit into your luggage, as well as tights and boots if the weather allows it.

It ain’t the holidays if at least one person doesn’t show up in a velvet dress. But let’s add a little twist and opt for a deep blue hue rather than the classic red. This piece comes with an open back detail so you’ll be impressing people when you leave any convo.

For many, the holidays usher in a special time of year filled with celebrations and with it, the stress of having to pick out the best gift ideas and putting together perfect casual holiday outfits for every occasion. And while this year’s celebrations will be different as we continue to practice social-distancing and embrace face mask trends in favor of large holiday gatherings, that doesn’t mean you can’t dress up. And 2020 is the perfect time to strike the perfect balance between cozy and chic. Not convinced? Proof lies ahead.

Since it’s a holiday season like no other, comfort is the top priority. But if you’re still feeling the need to get a little dressed up, then we recommend slipping into a pair of jeans and an oversize statement cardigan. It’s the fashion girl’s version of an ugly sweater, but way cuter.

We also love this Mango Multi-Color Knit Cardigan ($80).

Let Stella Adewunmi’s on-point outfit be proof that you can dress up your beloved sweats this Holiday season. Just accessorize them to the max and you’ve got a look that’s not only making the most of your COVID-wardrobe but also gives you an opportunity to bust out some of the things collecting dust in the back of your closet.

Don’t forget to finish off the look with heels. We recommend Sarah Flint’s Perfect Pump 100 ($355).

Just because this holiday season won’t be filled with as many opportunities to dress up, that doesn’t mean you can’t get use out of your metallic pieces. You can dress down a metallic or sequin piece by styling it with simple wardrobe staple pieces (i.e., a T-shirt or blazer) for a holiday outfit idea that strikes the perfect balance between casual and festive.

The easiest way to walk the fine line between casual and festive this holiday season is by relying on knitwear. Specifically, don’t be afraid to opt for a sweater dress or matching set as they can be styled up or down and are far more comfortable than one might expect.

Re-create this look for yourself:

Saturday/Sunday Monique Sweater Set

Already have the perfect sweater dress? Finish off your look with Mansur Gavriel’s Mini Cloud Clutch ($495).

I’ll repeat it: Festive clothing doesn’t have to include traditional pieces with sequins or velvet details!. Pairing a fun statement sweater with mismatched pants has the same fun energy as a dressed-up holiday look sans the predictable frills.

Lisa Says Gah Robyn Jean  Brown/Ivory Cow

Pair these pants with this Zara ($70).

WEAR: Button-up top, jumper, pleated miniskirt, and oxfords

One of the best things about fashion is dressing up for those annual milestones, like back-to-school or the holidays. And while this year’s special moments have changed, you can opt for a look that melds the two together. Pleated skirts are not only trendy but they’ll also give you maximum festive vibes.
