The BER months have already kicked of and Christmas is definitely in the air. Aside from the Christmas song and early holiday stress brought by the tedious gift givings, the perfect clothes to wear for upcoming Christmas themed parties, street fad and even to update your holiday Instagram fashion is sure to be a pain in the butt. That's why it takes full time and effort to decide what to wear and when to wear your sweater that has reside in your closet for almost a year. So, to help you ease some of the holiday stress, here are some fun ideas you could follow to fill your Christmas wardrobe.
IDEA #1: THE CLASSIC

A pair of ripped denim pants, snowflakes patterned shirt, jewelries and cool eye wear and your good to go. This is the best look for Christmas parties when you're planning to hit the road for an after-party. If the day went a little bit chilly you can also match your outfit with your favorite plain cardigans. Just make sure to wear a contracting color to give your look a boost.
IDEA #2: BLACK AND WHITE

No one can go wrong with black and white. If your into safe dresses then this might do the trick for you. Match any black and white sweater with a short white skirt. Make sure that both black and white is present to the top or else the look will not go as well as expected. Also, make sure that the texture of your top is different from that of your bottom. If you have silky top, pair it with white denim or a cotton or ones with embroider( see the picture above) or vice versa. If your sweater has a round neck shape then put your hair up to expose some skin and to accent your face with the accessories. But, if are wearing a v-neck shaped sweater it is advisable to put your hair down. This will frame your face and gives emphasis to your natural face lines.
IDEA #3: CUTE AND CHICK

If your party is at a local Resto or BBQ house then the cute and chick look will suit you best. To achieve this look, pair your dark denim shorts with floral sweaters, a bonnet and a simple anklet. There is a large variety of footwear you can choose for this look. Wear a pair of pumps/ heals/ boots to have the sexy feel with your clothes or if you're in for some much comfy outfit you can wear your favorite sneakers to finish the outfit.
IDEA #4: THE CLASSY

If you are the conservative type and prefer to be in comfortable clothes 24/7 this fashion idea is for you. Wear your funkiest pants, most preferred if it's on light colors and a simple round neck shirt. To balance your comfort and fashion put a shirt that will actually catch the attention of people, may it be a statement shirt or with digital printed design. To improve the look wear flashy jewelries like necklace and bracelet in silver or gold.
IDEA #5: THE DROP BY LOOK

This look is the clothes version of the "woke up like this" make-up. There is no rule with this look but make sure to take notes on the Do's and Don'ts. First, Don't wear anything formal. This look will not wok with silky or dress pants. Take note, the casual your clothes are, the better. But don't get overboard, remember there is a thin line with fashion and disaster. Next, wear your unusual top. Just like the knitted top above, make sure to attract attention with your shirt. This will contrast your outfit form the real ones you wear at home. Also, Don't overdo the accessories if you want to make this look work. Just a pair of sunglasses, a bracelet and a bonnet then you're good to go.
IDEA #6: IN THE MOTIF

One of the hardest look to perfect being in the motif (especially in school parties). Being different by staying the same is the key concept to deliver this look properly. It is always safe to wear a dress in single color but if you are bold enough then you can play a little bit to improve your look. If the classic motif such as red or green is the case then pair it with something white because it will give accent to the motif . It is best to settle with a maximum number of colors that exist in the outfit. For the look above, red, white and gold were used.
You can always match and mismatch clothes according to your fashion sense. Remember, "Don't be into trends. Don't make fashion own you, but you decide what you are, what you want to express by the way you dress and the way to live".
