Fashion for the Holidays


Preparing for the holiday season is mind-numbing itself, so why fret over the proper outfit? Whether you’re headed to the hottest restaurant this season or cooking for the family, one thing is certain: fashion prevails.


Going Out on the Town:
When it comes to the perfect holiday outfit for a night out in the city, no dress is too shimmery, skirt too puffy or style too flamboyant. If you’re ready to wow the socks off your gal pals this season—or your stylish boyfriend—opt for Betsey Johnson’s Evening Belle Claire Dress with Scalloped Neckline. It’s bow and sash detailing is dripping with unmatched glamour.


If subtle sexy is more your speed, try the Amethyst Satin Keyhole Halter Dress by A.B.S. This big momma of the Christmas season is made of gorgeous satin throughout, and chiffon trim at the skirt hem. It radiates with contemporary class.


Sashaying Around the House:
The idea of sweating in your holiday dress while cooking over a hot stove is not very appetizing. But there’s a remedy: the Hannah Dress by French Connection. This loose fitting dress has a super-high neck and super cute short puff sleeves with rouching at the shoulders—ideal for cooling off. And best of all it’s machine washable.


Urban Outfitters has been gracious enough to keep the prone-to-accidenters in mind with its Dress for Dinner Napkins. These 3-ply napkins are laced with necktie designs on the front—perfect for remaining formal while keeping tidy. It’s not exactly star-studded, but it will keep your guests cheery and chipper.
