Stylish Christmas outfit formula with layers, lace, and velvet, including transparent and striking looks.

Hey, it's okay if you're already stressing about your perfect party look (only 29 days until Christmas!). Staring at your wardrobe, call it the pre-fun of Christmas, you already know one thing for sure: this will be what-to-wear-stress.

Not in the mood for a standard sequin dress, but also lacking the energy to keep staring at your closet? No panic, I have the solution for you. It's time to upgrade your Christmas look with smart, and especially quick, tricks that will make you shine like never before.

What should I wear for Christmas?

And why does that question immediately feel like you're auditioning for The Holiday 2?
This year we're doing it differently. No stress, no half-collapsed fitting sessions on the bed, no “can this still work?” meltdowns. Because I have it: the outfit formula that always works. Christmas, dinner, brunch, third Christmas day, and definitely also heading towards NYE: this party look will save you in every situation.

The formula?

Add an extra edge of lace, go all the way with layers, but make it exciting, see-through, and stylish, or start with something soft + something chic. These are your perfect outfit formulas during the holidays. Ho, ho, ho, happy shopping.

Start with something soft + something chic
In other words: mix comfort with luxury. Think satin + knit, velvet + metallics, or a soft sweater over a slip dress.
add a lace edge

Lace is back, and matches perfectly with the holidays.
Subtle, exciting, and 100% Christmas-proof. A lace top under a blazer, a lace trim along your slip dress, or sheer sleeves work wonders.

The power of layers
Go all the way with layers, but make it exciting, see-through, and stylish. Think of a mesh top under a dress, a knit over a lace dress, or a sheer blouse with a stunning bralette.

And last but certainly not least: the sparkle
Christmas without sparkle is just... Monday. So grab one: one piece that stands out.
Not three, not five, one. This keeps it chic instead of Christmas ball cosplay.
