5 Fabulous, Unexpected Holiday Party Looks
Because looking amazing is half all the fun.
By The holiday soirées studding your calendar this season? They're not the time to blend in. See each one as a spectacular sartorial opportunity by planning an outfit that'll set you apart from the green-and-red masses. Here, five celebratory looks perfect for any fête.
Snow White
By now, you certainly know that ivory tones are appropriate post-Labor Day. Around the holidays, the wintry shade feels fresh and surprisingly bold. Gold accessories offset a chic white-on-white outfit; a creamy camel coat will always be in style.

Understated and Upscale
If you're heading straight from the office to a cocktail party, a pair of fantastic, pointed-toe flats will never do you wrong. Sheer detailing on a jewel-toned, long-sleeved blouse is both seasonally appropriate and subtly sexy.

The New Neutrals
Rather than default to your L.B.D., try an ankle-skimming midi in a fun leopard print. Fringed booties are a fresh alternative to heels. A couple gold statement accessories and you're set.

All That Shimmers
The upscale holiday event is the perfect time to wear all that glitz you've been hiding in your closet. To mix shades of shine, pair a green-and-gold-hued stunner with metallic taupe sandals, and dial up the glam with vintage-esque accessories.
