When it comes to planning a few fabulous holiday party outfits for this festive season 2022, you will soon learn why sequins are in, and also that they aren’t the only option, if you’re looking to make heads turn. Get ready to discover five refreshing evening wear trends, perfect for any occasion on the calendar, with pieces including feather details, standout prints, sequins, and more. Expect monochromes in unexpected tones, everything from glossy to bold matte red lips, and layer-able silhouettes. Scroll down and let’s get this party started!
Light as a Feather
We are looking at this trend as an opportunity that has presented itself and is screaming for attention from all fashion lovers. You can wear a feather-trimmed masterpiece this season with as much grandeur as you’ve ever dreamt of. Boudoir-inspired feathers have returned season after season, but never like they’ve come back for FW’2021. Opt into this statement evening wear trend that doubles as the New Year’s Eve outfit. You can find feathers not only in apparel but in accessories too!
Print is Key
For those who wish to make a statement without metallics or feathers, there are plenty of wonderfully printed dresses and bottom wear options this season. Think animal print minis skirts with fall’s knee-high boots, or perhaps a pair of printed tights with booties and a clashing print tunic. Prints are here for the win for just about any holiday partygoer. Also, we recommend wearing prints in joy-inducing hues like hot pinks and light blues, the kind of colors that make you feel like you’re in a Disney movie. Enjoy the dreariness of the festive time of the year with color, fun, and frolic.
Sequins and Velvets
Stand out in sequined dresses or velvet pantsuits. Love your jeans for a daytime party? Balance it out with a velvet top or a sequined blouse. Go all out in a midi-length velvet dress for the most eye-catching of holiday party outfits this season. Sequins and velvet go beyond dresses and skirts and they work wonderfully well together as fabrics. Think sequined jackets and velvet blouses crafting a perfect holiday outfit.
Hot Knits
When getting ready for nights out during the cold months, leave the crop tops at home, and put your chicest winter-appropriate foot forward with cozy knits. Opt for cut-out knitwear or open cardigans that can add a sexy and fun spin to your party ensemble. Sleeveless turtlenecks are also a good option when you want to reveal just the right amount of skin, exposing a little shoulder or neck. You can pair turtlenecks with practically anything, dressing them up or down. Try half-tucking a cable knit sweater into a pair of your favorite dark wash jeans; and throw in a pair of trusty party-ready earrings, and you’ll be set for the evening.
Another great combination would be pairing a midi skirt and knee-high boots with a longline cardigan for a more sophisticated look.
Monochrome Magic
Adopt a simpler and easier way to ‘holiday chic’ by opting for monochrome outfits. Over the years, monochrome has built a niche of its own and has moved far away from a simple black and white outfit. Everything from suits to sweats is available these days as monochrome sets. If you can't decide what to wear at the last minute, going with a monochrome look is a fail-safe way for sure.
