Depending on who you are, putting together a holiday party outfit might be an opportunity you live for, or the daunting annual task that you loathe. But no matter where you fall on the spectrum, we’re here to take the guesswork out of what to wear to your festive fete this year, with a complete outfit from head-to-toe. This ensemble—clothing, shoes, handbag, jewelry, and accessories—is a simple and flattering look that is designed to work well together and is perfect for every party you attend this season. The holidays have begun, which means time is of the essence, so let’s get started!

The Clothes

Straight from the pages of Lyst comes this stunning satin jumpsuit that’s perfect for dancing or mingling the night away at your next holiday party. The black Alessandra belted satin jumpsuit from L’Agence exudes elegant simplicity thanks to the one piece design, and it ensures that you’ll be comfortable, stylish, and fuss-free at your gathering. The sheen of the silky material, draped cap sleeve top, and fringed belt detail adds an extra level of dimension to really help you stand out from the crowd.

The Shoes

Dress booties, strappy stilettos, and closed toe pumps would all work well with the Alessandra jumpsuit. Some advice to abide by comes from a recent Vogue article stating that “festive shoes are about sophistication, not snobbiness.” That’s it’s important to use colour, embellishment, and texture to your advantage, especially when wearing an LBJ (little black jumpsuit) like the one we’ve chosen for your party ensemble. In this instance, we’ve chosen these black embellished heel T-bar sandals from Casadei for their classiness, texture, and sparkly adornments without being over the top.

The Handbag

Now is a great time to have a little fun with your outfit. The right handbag can add a lot to an otherwise simple ensemble like the Alessandra jumpsuit and the Casadei heel. Fortunately, we’ve located this glittering architectural clutch that will certainly stand out. Covered with opulent beads and crystals, this silver-toned handbag is both modern and polished. It’s the perfect place to stash your lip gloss and party essentials at your next soiree.

The Jewelry

Jewelry is the icing on the wardrobe cake, especially when it comes to statement pieces. Choosing your ornamentation can be a fun undertaking, but it’s important not to overdo the bangles and baubles this holiday season. One statement piece accompanied by other simple items is the way to go with this outfit, which is why we’ve chosen the green Reflection earrings from Lulu Frost. Pull your hair into a low chignon bun and let these beautiful emerald statement earrings frame your face and steal the show.

The Trimmings

Last but not least we have the trimmings, or additional accessories that will help put the finishing touches on your outfit. We’re focusing on grown-up hair adornments that are apparently all the runway rage, according to InStyle. For this particular look we’ve chosen to go for a beautiful and simple silver crystal hair comb from Nina. Romantic and sophisticated, this would look beautiful tucked into that low bun we mentioned earlier. It also provides an additional bit of radiant sparkle for a fun-filled festive evening.
