Seasonal Statement

Of course there are the essentials for holiday dressing —a fabulous party dress, an evening clutch, a great pair of heels that can survive inclement weather… stylishly— but how much thought do you give into your outwear?

Free People Embroidered Velvet Cape

A great jacket or cape can give longevity to your wardrobe staples, making them look festive and fresh for the holiday season.  Take, for instance, this embroidered velvet cape from Free People—it adds a glamorous touch to an otherwise basic black outfit.

This cape is a statement piece, but it’s also extremely versatile and looks equally amazing draped over a white blouse, and paired with dark skinny jeans.  It’s absolutely beautiful to look at, and is even better in person when you can see all of the details close up.

Plus, it’s style tips a nod to ‘70s vintage, which keeps it from looking too “of the moment.”  (Which means you’ll be able to wear it season after season without it looking dated!)

Why buy numerous dresses during the holiday season, when you can make the same one look entirely different with just one piece?  Look for jackets, blazers, and capes covered in sequin, embroidery, beaded embellishment, or velvet for a luxe nighttime look.
