Silk skirt 

Mid-length silk skirts have been everywhere this season, and even have us mini skirt lovers giving them a try.  Animal print (another key trend this season), works perfectly in the form of a silk midi skirt.  For a more casual holiday look pair a silk skirt with a chunky knit or t-shirt, to dress one of these trendy skirts up add a pair of heels and statement earrings.

Suit-ed 

A suit is an unexpected holiday party look, but is polished and can also be sexy.  For a cool-girl look go for an oversized fit or seasonally trendy colour.  If you don’t want to go as far outside of the box, go for a sexy classic black suit.

Leather Look 

For a take on the LBD opt for this seasons go to dress, in black leather.  If you aren’t into a full leather look go for leather pants or a leather mini skirt.  Leather is classic yet edgy, wear this to a party or your Christmas dinner with family or friends.

Glitzy Glam 

For a classic holiday look go for the glam with silver glitter.  This season is all about the silver shine so when choosing a colour for this season go silver.  A blazer will add a more tame amount of glitz to your look or go all out and ornate with a silver mini dress.
