Last December, I created a holiday wardrobe checklist & today, I’m sharing this year’s capsule picks with more bling & blam, and a dash of plaid.
Happy December!
About a year ago, I came across a fall wardrobe checklist, published by Liz of Sequins & Stripes and I loved it so much, I decided to create one too! This winter party edition is full of every print, texture, & hue that embodies my favorite aspects of this month. If you want to build a holiday color crush capsule with versatile party pieces that can be worn year after year, this checklist is for you.
Step 1: Print it out, and shop your own closet.
Step 2: Fill in your missing members! Browse each section of my current holiday favorites, and add one or two to your closet!
The Dress
Everyone knows that a good dress is enough to put you in a holly jolly mood before you’ve even left the house. Go simple and chic in a LRD, don a velvet number for a more luxurious feel, or bring the holiday cheer in a classic tartan. The options are endless. If you’re like me, however, you’re obsessed with the dress’ sleeker, more practical, and overlooked cousin – the jumpsuit. I’ve linked a few below as well.
Festive Tops
Generally, I have a hard time finding blouses that fit my bust and stay tucked in, but festive tops are a must-have for any party capsule. Pearls, velvet, and sequins are always fun, and of course, no holiday wardrobe would be complete without iconic plaid. I’m also always here for a good turtleneck that can be matched with a variety of statement bottoms.
Knits
If you’ll be bracing the crisp winter air this year on the way to your holiday festivities, a good knit will keep both your temperature and your spirits high. Layer your look with an on trend and cozy fuzzy or chenille knit. Don’t forget to grab a sweater with a classic Christmas print, for all those ugly sweater parties. Unfortunately, my picks are too cute to win you any contests.
Party Pants
Need I say more?
Skirt
Two years ago, I didn’t own one skirt that fell below my knees and now, I own nine. I jumped on the bandwagon late, but if there ever was a spokesperson for coming around on the midi skirt, it’s me. If your look is more of a neutral palette, opt for a metallic one, or go bold and purchase a velvet one in a vibrant jewel tone.
Shoes
Happy feet make for a happy me and I have no shame in adding more glitter, glam, velvet, and bows to my deserving toes. Below I shared fancy heels, haute ankle boots, and adorable flats. I want to note it was incredibly difficult not to buy ALL of these while rounding up my favorites for you.
Outerwear
From festive blazers to fur coats, this year’s selection of outerwear is as endless as it is luxe, chic, and cozy. One or two (or more) is a must-have for to complete your holiday wardrobe.
Accessories
For those who prefer a festive pop! or are looking to complete a head-to-toe show-stopper with one last statement.
Here’s to hoping you enjoy my holiday wardrobe checklist even more than I enjoyed making it! Thanks for reading!
