Deck the halls with boughs of holly, fa la la la!

Yes, its that time of the year again and we can’t decide if we’re more excited about the gifts or dressing for the holiday season. Tis the season for invitations left and right for formal, office and ugly sweater Christmas parties, whatever shall we where! Don’t worry Kontrol has provided 11 style tips for holiday parties this season.

1. Is that Velvet?

There’s nothing like a velvet pantsuit or dress to wear to the office Christmas party allowing you to get loose with your co-workers.  The smooth texture of velvet to match your cool and smooth personality. Velvet for the holiday party is perfect in midnight blue, black and a wine color.

6. Naughty Not Nice

Leather and Lace is never a combination that says safe. Leather and lace are for the risk takers who like to add a little sexiness to their ensemble. Grabbing a leather skirt with a lace blouse is perfect for a night out with friends and him! Let’s say if you want to be over the top pull a Sarah Jessica Parker and stand out!

7. Shining Shining Shining Shining Yeah!

Let it Shine, Let it Shine. Your jewelry that is. Bold and statement pieces of jewelry add the flavor needed for your holiday outfit. Big rings, statement necklaces, and hair jewelry are the perfect combination.

8. It’s All About The Shoes!

Fancy shoes that is, there’s nothing that doesn’t grab the attention of fashion guru then the RIGHT shoe. Designers Dolce & Gabba and Aldo Shoes have the perfect shoes for the holiday for any event, both high fashion or affordable.

9. No To Denim

Style tip: whatever you do avoid denim. The holiday parties are the time to step it up in the style department but to always maintain comfort. By comfort, I don’t mean denim, try leggings or boot socks knee length for the oversized dress.

10. Tuxedo For Her

Honestly, a tuxedo dress is perfect throughout the winter. An all-black tuxedo dress for a black tie event or holiday play is perfect for the conservative moment to a nigh of fun. Brands like H&M have affordable and stylish tuxedo dress ever winter!

11. Solid Gold

Like red, gold is an infinite color for the winter holiday season as well. Gold is always a great choice for a slip dress or wide leg pants. It provides a little of spring and summertime fun to the cold winter!
