It’s time to celebrate the upcoming holidays. Whether you are home for the holidays, traveling near or far, attending soirées about town… Pappagallo has you covered.
Thanksgiving is a time for family, friends, faith and food. Everyone’s celebration looks different, but I think we can all agree food is a central part of our gatherings. Unlike other holidays, Thanksgiving is not about the bling. A matching cozy knit outfit or jeans and a sweater are perfect for cooking and (comfortably) enjoying the feast. A corduroy dress with knee boots or blazer and pants are other options. This is a time to wear your finest fall – neutral colors, rich orange, greens and gold reflect the season.
Festivities leading up to Christmas and New Year’s kick off right after Thanksgiving. Business-related events, gatherings with friends at home or restaurants, holiday concerts and more, all require different attire. Here are a few suggestions :
Business event – break out of your dark colors and elevate your pantsuit game – choose red. It’s a classic for the holidays, and also one of the hottest colors of the year. Go for head-to-toe red if you dare.
Casual get together with friends – step up your jean game with coated metallic wide-leg jeans. All metallics -bronze, gold, rose gold, and pewter – are on trend. Add a half-tucked sweater to complete the look.
Holiday concert – add some sparkle and shine – a beautiful sequined top in a luscious color paired with some trousers or pleated skirt will bring a festive vibe.
New Years Eve – out on the town – go for broke – sequins, satin, velvet – it’s your time to shine and have fun with fashion!
Staying in – you will still want to be festive – silk party pajamas trimmed with ostrich feathers could fit the bill.
