4 Christmas Outfits to Bring out the Holiday Cheer
Iβve always been amazed by the tangible air of magical anticipation surrounding the most festive time of year. Iβve wondered time after time why the Christmas spirit has the power to seize your senses and make you feel so festive, jolly and merry. Ho-ho-ho! π π
Interestingly enough, it turns out the Christmas spirit and the holiday cheer are real and thereβs actually a scientific proof for heeling happier when the bright lights line the streets. Of course, itβs not only about the festive decorations that fill our hearts, but also about our expectations of togetherness and positive social interactions that increase our sense of happiness. After all, the best thing about Christmas is the quality time and the unforgettable memories with our loved ones! π
I surely agree that Christmas brings hope for peace and calm, health and love, happy smiles and cozy snuggles. Yet, the best thing about the most wonderful time of the year is holiday dressing! Yes, Christmas just gives you this rare chance to depart from your typical style and embrace loud colors and playful embellishments. You should totally live your best life and feel as festive as possible!
Obviously, the abundance of occasions ranging from Christmas shopping, to cozy family gatherings, to glam dinner parties makes planning the perfect Christmas outfit a bit tricky to put it softly. However, prepping up your outfits in advance will make you look and feel picture-perfect for these special moments. Not to mention that the right outfit will light up the Christmas spirit with a flourish and flair! β¨
Naturally, I used my digital closet La Koketa to create all looks with my own clothes so I can easily decide which one to wear depending on the event, be it a lunch with girlfriends, a fancy office party or the Christmas Day itself.
My strategy was to select season colors like red and green and festive textures like velvet and silk that can bring out the holiday cheer. Then I played with different features on La Koketa app to build the complete outfits. π² Check out how it panned out!
Christmas shopping
The best way to get in the mood for festive season is to wear the perfect Christmas red outfit. I donβt know about you, but Christmas has this effect on me. π I love wearing red during Christmas holidays because it amplifies the spirit, enhances the mood and just makes me feel happy!
Hereβs how I styled my Christmas shopping look with a couple of taps on La Koketa app:
1. I filtered my red pieces on my digital closet, and it turned out I had several Christmassy items to choose from;
2. I love the perfect Christmas red sweater so I selected this chunky cable knit and tapped the βWhat to Wear?β button;
3. After having some fun scrolling fabulous outfits with my own clothes, I opted for the one combining an A-line neoprene skirt with knee-high chunky boots for a maximum comfort on the busy shopping streets.ποΈ
Christmas market
Browsing Christmas markets is such a joyful occasion that inadvertently sets my Christmas spirit on fire! π₯My heart is warmed not only by the gluhwein and the myriad of Christmas themed souvenirs, but also by the hustle and bustle of the cheerful holiday crowd.
This setting surely requires comfy and warm outfits that could endure the low temperatures outside without impacting the bright mood. Since I’m looking for cool fits that elevate my Christmas spirit, I select casual style and red & white colors in the filter on the Home Feed of La Koketa app.
The outfit suggestions here are basically endless and based on my prefs so I’m scrolling infinite looks with my own clothes (the perks of having digitized my closet, you know). Yet, I keep in mind I’m looking for an elevated casual look like the one combining boyfriend denim jeans with a white cable knit sweater and ankle boots topped by a bright red parka. That’s def the ticket to the Christmas market cheer! π
Christmas Day Dining
I donβt know about you, but velvet always makes the ultimate Holiday outfit. Velvet is such a luscious and opulent fabric that is so timeless, elegant and luxurious. Thatβs exactly why I was deliberately searching for a velvety piece in my digital closet to add that extra amount of intrigue to the Christmas spirit. π
I selected my items tap on La Koketa app and searched the hashtag #velvet, which basically filtered everything I own made of velvet. I noticed these awesome velvet palazzo pants in olive green whose rich color and lavish texture is just perf for the holidays! Then I tapped the What to Wear? feature that basically pairs the velvet pants in different outfit combos with my own clothes and just loved the look with the lace top, strappy heels and a velvet clutch.
Christmas Office Party
Devising the perfect Christmas party look is a tricky endeavor… π There’s this grey area between workwear and party attire that clashes certain lengths and muted colors with sparkles and fun fabrics. And yet, you want to feel as festive and glamorous as possible while emanating the Christmas spirit with your party-ready outfit!
There’s actually a workaround this unnerving situation by simply choosing luxe knits and silky fabrics that will elevate your look and will smoothly align with the office party vibe whatever it might be. Having this simple concept in mind, I just used the Create Outfit feature on La Koketa app that lets me be creative by mixing and matching my own clothes, shoes and accessories.
I had some fun playing around and finally arrived at this awesome combo! A grey slip dress pairs so well with a silky pullover sweater in the same hue. Then, I chose a sparkly chain bag and a pair of pumps with metallic chunky heels to add a dash of sass and some edge to my look.
This outfit building routine is simple if you have uploaded your clothes on your digital closet where you can see them on the palm of your hand. Start from there and you’ll be amazed by the endless outfits possible with a limited closet!
No matter if you are shopping, dining or partying during this Holiday season, I hope this gives you an inspiration to build outfits with your own clothes that bring out the Christmas spirit!
I urge you to live your best live and enjoy the Holiday season in style!
I wish you the warmest, happiest and merriest Christmas! May you embrace the Christmas spirit and sparkle brightly this holiday season! β¨π
