The 2018 Holiday season has arrived. Dinner parties, charitable events, and cocktail parties are just a few of the items on our list of things to do. Taking events into consideration, we all want to look great and fashionably appropriate. We're helping you check what-to-wear off your list by sharing five of this year's most wearable holiday fashion trends plus where to find them in the Tampa Bay area.
JUMPSUIT HAPPY
Holiday party styles are no longer defined as dress only. The jumpsuit is the new gown. Now embellished with glitter, sparkle and spicy cuts on top to give instant glamour to your party outfit. A bonus to wearing the jumpsuit is feeling comfortable when you hit the dance floor. The jumpsuit is a great choice for women with tall or petite, long torso shapes carried by long legs. A couple of places to get the look are Sweet Southern Chic in South Tampa and The Platinum Zipper.
VELVETY
This year designers have created a beautiful take on vintage by adding elegant details in velvety smooth, rich fabrics. Choose a wrap style for any figure as it tapers the waistline with a very subtle flare or a-line toward the hem. Get black-tie ready by finding a velvet outfit at South Tampa boutique, Deborah Kent's or Neiman Marcus International Plaza.
ATHLETIQUE
A year-long trend transitions to holiday dresses. Athletique party dresses are created with ultra body shaping designs, high-quality fabrics and monotone color from top to bottom. To give this minimal ensemble an alluring vibe, accessorize with a very bold pair of shoes and a statement handbag. You will not go wrong when choosing either knee or midi length from newly opened Canvas Fashion Gallery Hyde Park.
SHINE ON
When it comes to fashion, sparkle remains prevalent for party styles delivering a foxy party dress adorned with elements such as sequins and metallic threads. The sparkling dresses may be seen in the form of cinched or flowy cuts to delightfully enhance any woman of any shape or size. The Fancy Frock is the place to shop a shining look to suit you.
Don't shy away from trying a new hue this holiday season. Any of the holiday fashions mentioned above can be worn in popular colors like green, deep red, gold, white. An easy way to help you determine the best shade is focusing on tones that enhance your hair and eyes.
