Sparkle is not the first choice for the lot of us who don’t look toward glitz for our regular party outfits.  Plus, when everyone at a fete is bound to be wearing the same disco-ball outfit, it’s high time for a switch-up.  There’s holiday cheer outside of the sparkle, ladies — you’ve just got to look for it!  These picks will have you rethinking what holiday dressing really means.

When paired with a simple, cotton top and basic pumps, leather skirts become much more wearable than you’d expect. Just avoid going into short-and-tight territory. 

Add texture and break up a monochromatic outfit all at once with a velvet topper in a jewel-toned hue.

Party dressing doesn’t always mean body-con minis. In fact, this full skirt is perfect for balancing out a satin top.
