What’s Your Holiday Style: Casual or Dressy? (Plus, a Big Sale)
How do you like to dress for the holidays? Do you like being cozy and relaxed, or do you prefer to go all out? Madewell has gorgeous holiday pieces, so here are a few picks for both approaches…
This silk top is what my 10-year-old self imagined I’d wear as a grown up, hosting dinner parties and swooping into rooms with a glass of bubbly. Now that I am grown up, I still think the look is effortlessly chic. For something more laid-back, I’m digging this checked sweater with contrasting arms.
If you’re going for sexy and slinky, this number feels straight out of Bond movie. Or, if you’d rather feel wrapped in a blanket, pull on this V-neck cardigan, which has just the right amount of slouch and comes in seven colors.
How flirty is this slip skirt? I’d wear it to Friendsgiving with pearl earrings and a French hair pin. For a movie night, cuddle up on the sofa in ’90s jeans, a crinkled shirt and ballet flats.
Ooooh, these silver sling-backs are a fun way to be part the metallics trend, which is huge right now. I’d love to wear them while eating dessert at the bar of a fancy restaurant. If you’re team flats, I’d recommend some velvet cuties. They’re sweet and charming and come in six colors (including silver!).
One holiday accessory I always wear are sparkly studs. They brighten up any outfit, even your trusty sweatpants. I’m also a sucker for a red crossbody (I’ve worn one for years), so I love this bucket tote.
Finally, for outerwear, a classic peacoat feels elegant for work meetings, dinner dates or holiday parties. Or if your favorite winter activity is taking long, rosy-cheeked walks (the air feels so good!), go with a quilted puffer in red or blue.
Great news: Madewell is having a huge sale right now. Use the code LETSGO for 40% off your purchase, good until November 22nd. Exclusions apply. See everything here, including a chic jacket for traveling and a million excellent gift ideas.
