Fashion Trends to Shop For Your Upcoming Holiday Parties

Holiday Fashion Trends That Will Make You Psyched as Hell to Get Dressed For the Party

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.

I'm sure most people plan to look fabulous during the holiday season, but recycling that same jumpsuit year after year can get kind of boring, am I right? It'll only be so long before that look starts to lose its shimmer, literally and figuratively. This year has brought a handful of trends that rolled right into the holiday season and extended to hair accessories, going out shoes, statement purses, and dress silhouettes.

Plus, we can barely keep track of all the covetable collaborations to shop, from Jason Wu's drop for Kohl's and BaubleBar's quirky Festive Extras to H&M's fancy-shmancy range with Giambattista Valli. If you want to look like you're well versed in the fashion world when you walk into your SO's grandma's house for dinner or your best friend's classy soirée, we have some solid ideas for you. Keep reading to digest our holiday trend report in full and pick up pieces you like along the way, or skip right ahead to the category you fully expected to be on this list and can't wait to scope out.

Holiday Fashion Trend 2019: Sequins

This season's sequins come in all different sizes and colours. They're woven into sweaters and they cover gowns from head to toe. If you need a little inspiration, check out Kiernan Shipka's Miu Miu mini, with loads of paillettes, crystals, and feathers.

Holiday Fashion Trend 2019: Crystal and Rhinestone Embellished Heels

Rather than a shoe that's overdramatic or covered in glitter, this season's heels are only just defined with a shimmery embellishment at the strap or buckle. They're a step above minimalism, but still attention grabbing enough.

Holiday Fashion Trend 2019: Metallic Sheens

You can add a spark of metallic to your look in a simple way (think: tights threaded with glitter), or you can go all out and create the ultimate evening look in a glimmering set. Certain satins and silks shine just as bright when the light catches them at the right angle.
