Holiday Fashion Trends 2018

8 Holiday Fashion Trends That Will Make You Feel Like a Glam Queen, For Sure

As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too. If you buy a product we have recommended, we may receive affiliate commission, which in turn supports our work.

When we think about getting dressed for holiday parties, the task can seem daunting. Our goal is to feel totally glamorous, but if that sequinned dress comes a little too short and those old party heels have a rhinestone missing, well then, what are you to do? We curated a list of the eight most tasteful trends worth shopping to make 2018 Winter evenings out worth your while. Invest in at least two of these no-brainer looks, and you'll actually turn quite a few heads when you walk through the door (no, we're not just saying that). Scroll for the breakdown, and make sure you have enough battery life to snap a picture on your phone. You'll want to look back on the nights when you were wearing these clothes.

1. Jewellery Bags

Shop for a purse that feels so special, you could forgo jewellery altogether and still make a statement. You won't need any extra shine when you're hanging onto one of these bags all night long.

7. Sequinned Separates

While you could invest in a full-length sequinned dress, this trend is all about day-to-night dressing. Opt for a dazzling skirt and offset it with a cosy sweater, or sport a paillette crop top with your denim and style with classic pumps.

8. Feather Touch

Give your look a light, airy touch with feather adornments — but not just on your accessories. Shop for feather tops or jackets with wispy sleeves that make your outfit just shy of costume-like, in the best possible way.

9. Emerald Dresses

Gone are the days of the "red emoji dress." Instead, impress them all in a lovely jewel tone like emerald. Some of the most miraculous looks, in our opinion, come in velvet and silk.

10. Royally Good Suiting

Take a tip from Meghan Markle, who's stepped out in sleek suiting from Alexander McQueen and Altuzarra, and opt for properly tailored pieces that fit you just right. You can fancify these looks with strappy heels or just add stunning earrings and keep it simple in flats.
