‘Tis the season for endless amounts of office parties, black tie occasions, and cocktail hours. Now is the time to stock up your closet with on-trend pieces for the upcoming holidays. Here are some suggestions to get you started on updating your wardrobe for Christmas in Austin.
For cocktail hour…
Throw on your best little black dress, a universal staple that can easily be dressed up or dressed down for the holidays. Here’s the twist, though: add a pair of fun heels in a bold color or pattern and be the trendiest one of them all!
If that’s not your style, try a pair of statement earrings. Statement necklaces of the past have been replaced by tiered and tasseled earrings, spicing up any holiday look. Grab a pair at Austin's Mana Culture, who carries wide selection of fun earrings for any occasion.
For a black tie event…
Try something a little out-of-the ordinary this holiday season by going for a floral pattern. This trend may feel a little summery, but you can always remedy that by finding patterns in deeper colors such as a cranberry or moss green.
All eyes will be drawn to you while you're wearing this unexpected pop of posies, and The Domain in Austin is sure to have a plethora of options for this new holiday trend.

For a more fun and flirty occasion…
