What’s Hot for the Holidays

What’s Hot for the Holidays

It is finally that time of year again! It’s time for Christmas parties, family gatherings, and holiday traditions. So, what’s hot during these chilly months ahead? One of the hottest trends this season is plaid. This classic holiday look is making a comeback in major brands, including Love Shack Fancy, Ralph Lauren, and Free People. Choose a long silk gown in red or green tartan plaid, a belted cotton dress, or a fun mini bubble dress. Love Shack Fancy calls this best seller look “fancy and flirty”. New York Fashion Week was filled with scarlet red, funky plaid, and bubble skirts. This dress combines all trends into one show-stopping design. Every brand has designed its own spin on the classic plaid look, which gives a new variety of options for every aesthetic. So get your mini dress, maxi skirt, or festive sweater in plaid to win best dressed at any of your holiday events!

Don’t just wear your outfit to the party; style your outfit for the party! There is an added level of confidence and self-expression when you make a seemingly basic garment truly your own. Accessories are a way to showcase your personality and elevate any outfit. Make a statement by adding fun shoes, hair clips, a handbag, and tons of fun jewelry to your holiday look. Betsey Johnson designs the most creative pieces that add an unparalleled level of uniqueness. As we all know by now, bows are one of the trendiest things in the apparel market. Betsey Johnson, along with many other brands, has hopped on the bow and plaid trend for this season. Add glam to your plaid party attire with these fabulous Betsey Johnson accessories.

Be the life of the party this season by keeping up with the current holiday trends. Don’t be afraid to make a statement and share your personality through your outfit. The classics of plaids and bows have made a comeback in a more modern look this year, so keep your eye out for bubble skirts and unique design elements. Add funky accessories to your outfits, and be the showstopper this holiday season!
