5. Have a Chic Christmas - All About Style and Fashion for the Holidays

In New York, a style capital of the world, black is always a chic and

fashionable selection. That's even more so in the Fall and Winter seasons when

dark colors are favored. But even the fashionistas who like somber colors add a

bit of sparkle and cheer to Christmas and holiday clothing with some color,

usually magnificent red.

Dominant colors at Christmas are red, black and white and a red scarf, or

a white one, is a must-have accessory.

Holiday-themed apparel with snowflakes, candy canes, stars, Christmas

trees, are also popular during the season. Along with being colorful, they also

convey the message that the person is fully embracing the spirit of the season

and is in a festive mood. When individuals wear holiday-themed apparel, they are

therefore radiating a positive attitude and giving the signal that it is

pleasant to be around them. After all, nobody wants to be around the 'grumpy

bah-humbug' type of personalities during the Christmas season.

Holiday-themed jewelry also works well as accessories. These can add that

little sparkle to an outfit that makes it stand out in an admirable way.

Holiday-themed jewelry is also perfect for those individuals who simply want to

show a touch of the holiday spirit without having to actually wear holiday-

themed apparel because it maybe too different from the conservative style of

their wardrobe.

It is necessary to add some sparkle to apparel during the Christmas season

and current style trends of having jewel-engraved or embroidered tops play well

for the Christmas season. They will allow the wearer to look festive in a very

understated but elegant way.

Fall popular styles will also undoubtedly be a fashionable way to dress

for the holidays. Based on the Fall Fashion Shows in New York, there are five

basic outfits that stylists say should be in the wardrobe of all women. They

are: the Tunic, Winter Short - which is cut just above the knee - the Vest,

Pencil Skirt and the Super-wide pant.

The vest can be a dressy one with embroidery or other adornments, or it

can be more minimal based on the overall outfit. The Winter Short and Pencil

Skirt can easily convert from working outfit to party wear with the right

accessory, making them perfect to wear to an early evening Christmas or holiday

party. A variation from the Pencil Skirt is the Pencil dress. This too is likely

to be popular for Christmas as it can be easily accessorized with a broad belt,

which is one of the accessories that top fashion advisers say is a 'must-have'

accessory for the Fall.

The Tunic and Super-wide pant are also liked for Christmas and the Holiday

season because they are very flexible in how they can be paired with other

garments.

Another fall fashion staple are Knit Sweaters - oversized and as tunics. They

will also work well with black tights and leggings, which has made a comeback in

leg wear. Leggings can be worn under skirts or dresses. Very slim leggings can

also be worn simply in place of pants, worn with a jacket or again, with an

oversized knit sweater. Using the basic colors of red, white and black that are

popular during Christmas and the holidays, colored leggings will definitely add

a nice touch of style to outfits and make them seem perfect for the Christmas

and holiday season.

It is also good that dresses are once more welcomed among the fashionable.

And the red dress for Fall fits well into Christmas and the holiday season.

The latest in jeans, which is a mainstay in everyone's wardrobe and suitable to

wear at all times including during Christmas and the holidays, is that a skinny

fit is in. And if ultra-skinny is not very complimentary to your body shape, you

can still get one of the newer types of jeans that are said to have a lot more

stretch, giving a 360-degree or all-around wrap to the body for a perfect or

near perfect fit.

And since Christmas is the season to be happy and cheery, the truly jolly

can always top off their Christmas outfit with a cone-shaped, red and white

Santa hat.
