Congratulations—you've (almost) survived another year. The holidays are the time to celebrate friends, family and unbelievable sales, and for some people the holiday season is perhaps one of the busiest. Celebrities and style stars begin to flood our social media pages with Instagram pictures of elite holiday dinners and vacations, not to mention flawless outfit execution, and it may leave some of us with a feeling of envy so strong it hurts. Luckily, it doesn’t have to.
Staying In
A night in can be just as glamorous as a night out on the town—with the right pieces. For a cozy appointment with the couch and a marathon of the classics, indulge in loungewear that is as chic as it is practical. Calvin Klein logo sweatpants or velvet joggers are a necessity for curling up by the fire. Urban Outfitter’s “Luxe Loungewear” edit is filled with silky camisoles and bodysuits, perfect for relaxation.

Going Out
If you’re a party girl like me, one of your favorite things to do during holiday break is to be seen. Flirty mini dresses with tights and sparkly jumpsuits paired with faux fur coats and cocktail jewelry are the holiday go-to’s for dressing up this season. Retailers are making it practically impossible not to splurge, like Zara’s “Disco Forest” Autumn/Winter 2016 studio collection filled with velvet, sequined dresses, and a pair of trousers that are to-die-for. Popular it-girl brand the Reformation has collaboration with Haim to create a New Year’s Eve collection of iconic satin slit dresses and jumpsuits that speak for themselves.

Traveling
If you’re one of the lucky people traveling over the holidays, classic pieces are crucial. To master airport style, make friends with frayed denim, Chelsea boots, and effortless fitted turtlenecks for an off-duty supermodel aesthetic that’s both simple and on-trend. Pair with a bomber jacket or long trench coat and a tote bag filled with all your flight essentials.

Regardless of your holiday plans, there is no reason not to do them in style. Pour of glass of wine, put on your best look, and relax—you’ve earned it.
