16 celebratory accents for your holiday party outfits
It’s that time of year when a flurry of invitations comes rolling in. There’s tree-trimming, caroling, cocktailing and canoodling with colleagues at the annual office party (oh joy!). Add black-tie soirées, family feasts, boat parades and all manner of pageantry. The dress code for a.m. and p.m. activities that range from relaxed to buttoned-up can best be summed up in a single word: festive. And that means decking yourself out with a few celebratory accents. Think out of the box. A metallic bomber jacket paired with jeans and sparkly heels. A floor-length jacquard gown with furry slides. Or a sleek, tuxedo-inspired jumpsuit with red lips and a handbag shaped like a Champagne bottle. Mix it up and say, “Cheers!”
