Fashion Forward Footwear: Accenting Your Look With Shoes & Boots
There are many creative ways you can change-up your holiday outfits – or any looks in your winter wardrobe, for that matter. From jewelry and accessories to handbags and trendy outerwear, styling your ensemble is a creative process that combines your knowledge of fashion and your unique styling sensibilities. However, one of the easiest and most dynamic ways to change your look is with fashionable footwear and hosiery. Choose several pairs of winter boots and shoes as to coordinate with your collection of dresses – opting for black is always a safe bet to ensure your footwear will match with everything in your closet!
Every woman ought to at least try on a pair of knee-high or over-the-knee boots to see how they look on their legs when paired with their favorite winter dress. Over-the-knee boots enable you to create a sassy look that will make you stand out at any party. Like plaids, you won’t be the only one wearing them, so choose the boots that make your personal fashion statement really shine.
Another helpful fashionista tip: select footwear based on the type of event you’ll be attending. For example, you know you’ll be dancing and socializing on foot at some parties (i.e., opt for flats to ensure your comfort), while other events, such as a holiday dinner, may entail a lot sitting (so high heeled styles may be more feasible)! Pair this season’s hottest boots and trendy shoe styles with opaque tights in solids, lace and patterns for an unforgettable holiday look that’s perfect for any special occasion.
If you happen to live where it’s warmer, take advantage of your latitude and definitely don a pair of booties with exposed heels and/or toes this winter, as there are many great neutral options that will tie your look together. If you like to add a bit of sass to your party ensembles, invest in a pair or two of fabulous knee-high or over-the-knee suede or vinyl leather boots for a sexy look that’s sure to get you noticed at fun holiday events or cocktail parties. When it comes to footwear, neutrals are always a great wardrobe staple, but if you have a color theme in mind, a pair of jewel-toned, over-the-knee boots adds some festive flair to your outfit.
If you prefer to wear shoes, or just find them to be more comfortable and true to your look, there are some very cute trends and classic styles to choose from. Slipping on a pair of classic animal print heels perfectly punctuates almost any outfit, while a kicky pair of beige leather mules or classic flats are comfortable and ready-to-wear at any time. Neutral-toned footwear also allows you to draw attention to your outfit with other accents such as jewelry, scarves or a dazzling holiday manicure.
Staying Comfortable, Warm & Festive In Holiday Dresses
Beautiful holiday dresses don’t have to be a chore to wear, nor do you have to put a lot of effort into staying warm and gorgeous while wearing them. In fact, plus-size holiday dresses are more comfortable than ever before to wear and layer. Whether you choose bold prints or solid colors, lots of frills or rows of ruffles, sleeves or no sleeves, most of this year’s winter dresses are made with forgiving fabrics that let you sparkle and shine, day or night. A feminine alternative to leggings and pants, a flirty holiday dress is not only the perfect way to add some pizzazz to your winter wardrobe, but can also be a more comfortable option if paired with the right layers, shoes and undergarments.
Designed with your curves in mind, our collection of party and holiday dresses are made of fabrics that flatter your physique and accentuate your figure. This season’s party dresses feature styles that move and flow in a flirty, fluttery fashion as you sit, stand or walk – from the belled sleeve trend to fit and flare dresses, there’s a look to suit every body type and preference. Whichever holiday party dresses you chose to add to your wardrobe, be certain to wear the proper undergarments to ensure a proper fit – whether you like to wear slimming long-line panties, a push-up bra, or control-top pantyhose, choosing the appropriate underwear, lingerie and hosiery provides the foundation for any put-together ensemble.
Get The Layered Look: Sweaters, Ponchos, Pockets & More
It’s easier than ever to stay warm and look your party-best by layering your winter look. With this season’s assortment of beautiful, richly-hued cardigans, you can continue to wear short dresses, sleeveless dresses, lacy dresses and even cold-shoulder styles when the temps dip down.

Animal prints are also great for layering – you might consider a leopard print vest or thick cheetah print scarf to make your LBD really pop. Layering with animal prints is a surefire way to supercharge your winter look while adding a sexy accent to nearly any attire.
One of our favorite features on dresses this season: pockets! With pocket features found on sweaters, dresses and other layering pieces, getting dressed up has never been so comfy. If you enjoy wearing a cute cardi or poncho over your dress, you’re in luck – not only will it keep you toasty, but provide extra storage to stash your cellphone, money or keys when your evening clutch is simply too small to fit another thing inside!
For a more streamlined silhouette, vests are another fun layering piece to consider for your next holiday party or festive outing. Another garment featuring handy pockets, you can also tuck a lip gloss, change, or just use as a place to keep your hands warm when you walk to the car or down the street to the restaurant or club.
You can also add another layer to your party outfit with knee-high boots: simply slip on some knee-high or over-the-knee leather boots with a pair of fleece tights to keep you cozy (and make an extra-stylish statement, too). It’s crystal clear that over-the-knee boots have captured many women’s imaginations this year – they’re super trendy, and with an endless array to choose from, instantly update your winter look. Whether you prefer slouchy or sleek, as we’ve discussed, there’s a boot style that’s perfect for you!
This winter’s dresses also look fabulous when layered with a motorcycle jacket. Whether faux or genuine leather, the sleek look and fit of a moto-style jacket adds an edgy silhouette to a body-hugging holiday dress. This timeless design never goes out of style, and will keep you warm all season through.
