It’s that magical time of year when we are all running from gathering to gathering and dressing for all these events can be stressful so I’ve outlined 5 pieces that you need in your wardrobe so that, regardless the occasion, you will be dressed in style! From formal to casual, outerwear to the perfect cocktail number, these five pieces should see you through your holiday style stress-free!
1.Cape Style Coat – The chicest trend to hit mass markets this year is the cape. It’s the perfect alternative to your classic overcoat during the winter months.
2. Blanket Scarves – Continuing with outerwear, blanket scarves and winter simply go hand in hand. They are the perfect compliment to any winter coat and are an easy way to add color back into your winter look.
3. Sequin Something – Whether it’s for a holiday party or for New Year’s Eve, sequins are a must in any wardrobe at the end of the year. Find a dress with a hint of sparkle or go all out with a sequined maxi for maximum statement!
4. Plaid – For more casual looks, tartan plaid is an easy yes! Add red lipstick and a fabulous skirt and plaid can be the topper to your holiday party look.
5. LBD – When all else fail, always go with a Little Black Dress. It will always be a loyal cocktail party companion and when you are in a hurry, your LBD will have you out the door in a flash! (Psst! Macy’s has an entire section of their website devoted to LBDs and they are all 25% off right now with code:FRIEND)
What are your holiday wardrobe essentials?
I really have to agree with you on what the winter staples are. I love capes, flannels and chunky scarves. I also think everyone needs nice jumpers at this time of the year!

These pieces are really essential for the holiday season events. I agree with you; a LBD is always the perfect ‘companion’. I’m looking for a sequin skirt or dress. You found very pretty pieces! Have a great weekend, Ana Luiza!
