8 Christmas Fashion Statements By: Jasmine Perry
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way, oh what fun it is to dress up, especially on Christmas Day.
Santa Claus is coming to town, and you’re probably questioning whether to spend Christmas at your house or go out to a Christmas party. So, if you’re wondering what to wear for both types of occasions, here are eight fashionable statement pieces that will have you saying have a holly, jolly Christmas.
Plaid PJ’s or Plaid Skirt
You can never go wrong with a plaid skirt, shirt, or dress. If you own a plaid red or green skirt, you can combine it with a white sweater and high heel boots for a chic look.
Want to lounge around at home but also look ready for Christmas? Plaid flannel pajamas have been a hit for years.
Since the pandemic hit, most families have taken family portraits in their matching plaid pajamas in front of their Christmas tree at home. Therefore, if you want to get into the Christmas spirit, you can head on over to Target and get you and the family a pair.
The Latinx Christmas Graphic Shirt
Feliz Navidad Prospero año y Felicidad! Need a top to add to those stylish bottoms of yours? Latin-owned businesses on Etsy and Amazon have great deals on Christmas graphic t-shirts.
You will be showing off your Latinx humor when wearing any of these inspired Latinx Christmas tops. Take a look at Latino Pride Shop and Chicana Latinx Afro Latina Women Clothing Co.
The Sequined Top
Who said sequined clothing pieces are only for New Year’s Eve? If you want to be the life of the party, then you’ll want to wear a sparkly blouse this Christmas.
The bright side to sequins – they can be treated as the only statement piece from the outfit itself. So, for instance, you can pair it with black leggings and a red coat; you won’t even have to worry about wearing jewelry on that white Christmas Day.
As for the warmer parts of the country, you can combine a sequined top with a skirt or find a dress like this one from New York & Company for that holiday feel.
Satin Skirt
Want to look like you’re ready for the holidays? Satin fabric materials make any outfit look fancy. If you own a satin skirt, you can pair it with any top. For instance, a sweater top if you live up north or a short sleeve for warmer temperatures down in the south.
Houndstooth Coat
Houndstooth is a famous, luxurious print that originated from Scotland and became popular in the 1930s. Although houndstooth print started on woven wools, it is a print you can find on tops, skirts, dresses, and bottoms, according to Damien Mullen of Mullen and Mullen.
However, if you’re looking to save some money and make houndstooth a fashion statement this Christmas, SHEIN.com has all kinds of affordable houndstooth print clothing pieces. Plus, you can find yourself a houndstooth print coat just like this one.
Pearl Beaded Top
They say diamonds are a girl’s best friend. However, what about pearls? Last year, pearls made a comeback, and not to wear on your neck, but on your shirt. If you haven’t seen tops like these, you can find them at fashion stores such as Shein, Express, or Venus.com.
Faux Suede Bottoms or Velvet Top
Want to wear something warm, soft, and fashionable this Christmas? A faux suede skirt with a knitted sweater will make you feel like you are in a winter wonderland.
However, if you live in a state where it’s always 80 degrees in December, you can find a cold shoulder velvet crop top that you can add to your summer wardrobe. Like the one in the picture from Forever 21 – talk about sexy and festive.
Just because it’s Christmas, you don’t have to stick to wearing green and red; you can explore other options by either going for an elegant look or lounging around in cozy Christmas-themed pajamas. Therefore, Feliz Navidad and keep in mind whatever you choose to wear this Christmas, you’re going to look fabulous. What matters is the memories you’ll make that day.
