Looking good for the Holidays!

The festivities are just around the corner and we’re thinking about what to wear for the Christmas parties.

A touch of elegance for a traditional family Christmas

Stylist Nadine Joannette offers us a variety of ideas for different circumstances and settings. The places we'll go to and the people we’ll be with are important factors to consider when choosing the right look

  • For family reunions, opting for femininity, simplicity and good taste.
  • Satin, silk, chiffon, velvet are excellent recommendations, and so are high heels when it comes to shoes. A touch of patent-leather can also be considered.
  • Accessories are a must to complement your holiday outfit, but wear one of two pieces at most, depending on your outfit. A big bracelet and medium-sized earrings are a good example.
