Accessorize…
By simply adding a bright silk
scarf around your neck or a gold
chain can take any look from
drab to dazzling. This season’s
hot trend is chokers in any style
which can instantly transform
your look.
Shoes…
Shoes are a quick way to add
fun to any holiday outfit.
Think bejewelled heels with
a plain dress or metallic
heels with a plain pantsuit.
Even flats can be fabulous if
embellished with beads or
jewels. Be sure to take care of
your feet also by indulging
in a regular pedicure to keep
looking polished and well-
groomed all the time.
Black…
When wearing black, it is always
good to pair it up with something
different to give a pop of color to
break up the monotony. Try the
latest stripes, color-blocking, or
prints to infuse pops of color.
Underneath…
Believe it or not but what
you wear under your outfit is
extremely important. “Always
invest in a very good bra
especially while wearing form
fitting holiday season dresses,”
explains Jashanmal. “Also,
don’t forget good quality shape
wear like Spanx to cleverly
hide the bulges and lumps that
look worse under form fitting
clothing.”
Pair up…
Invest in a good quality blazer
to pair up with trousers. “This
can turn instantly transform
your plain outfit into a sharper,
more formal one,” she
says, with leather as
one ideal option.
Color pops…
Add a pop of color in the form of an
accent or accessory in brighter colors
or metallic to jazz up an outfit. Even
bright red nail polish or an on-trend
dark maroon lipstick will help jazz up
your overall look.
Easy transition…
When choosing your office attire
during the holiday season, choose
pieces that can work easily from day
to evening where you just need to add
a scarf or a formal pair of shoes; for
example, a silk blouse or a wide legged
formal trouser.
