New York is nothing short of spectacular around this time of the year when the buzz and excitement of December is in full swing; eye-catching decorations light up the streets and the joy of Christmas fills the air. You may have a packed schedule of work events, dinners with friends and shows to see which you’re feeling uninspired to dress for. Simple slip dresses, well-tailored coats and minimalist suits are fail-safe options that you can wear over and over again. Shop smart with our edit of timeless looks and holiday season outfits that go beyond the festive period.
A DOWNTOWN SOIRÉE
Be seen at a fashionable downtown spot wearing WOS’s versatile silk slip dress and offset the slinky style with an androgynous jacket, such as this cropped blazer by MQUEYT. To finish, accessorize with this silver bracelet by METAL X WIRE and give your look an edge with chunky combat boots.
A HIGH-PROFILE EVENT
This winter-white ensemble feels very clean and contemporary, while remaining quietly glamorous. NICHP’s dramatic asymmetric top is balanced with the fluidity of MQUEYT’s relaxed-leg pants and finished with this shimmering silver pouch by Japanese label YOHJI YAMAMOTO.
AN OFFICE PARTY
Elegant and comfortable in equal measure, this matching shirt and pants set by NOCTURNE is one of our most coveted party season outfits — we love how the plush feather cuffs give it a luxurious feel. Add a pop of color with BENEDETTA BOROLI’s metallic-pink sandals.
A BROADWAY SHOW
Make an effort while staying relatively low-key and comfortable with a relaxed-fit jacket and pants suit. The smoky taupe of this two-piece by Ukrainian label KRIS MARAN complements JANEPAIK SEOUL’s teal-green crocodile-effect clutch perfectly and we’ll be wearing this blazer with jeans on casual days.
A FESTIVE FAMILY GATHERING
Whether you have a restaurant reservation or a home-cooked dinner, be the best-dressed family member in this fringed shift dress by ZENZEE. Team it with this asymmetric A-line oversized coat by GR LONDON PARIS and BENEDETTA BOROLI’s pointed-toe sandals.
