Holiday Fashions That Truly Sparkle- Top Must-have's For The Season

According to fashion experts, femininity abounds this holiday season with dresses and skirts as the clear-cut winners. Black is back in a big way, either alone or paired with red or metallics. Think luxe in terms of fabrics: plush velvet, fluid jersey, glamorous fur (real or faux).

Holiday dressing can run the gamut from casual chic to stylish business attire to formal wear. For a family get-together, consider a fitted knit sweater (red is so "in" and so festive) paired with a trendy, plaid A-line skirt and high boots. The kimono tunic, with sheer, wide sleeves, is also a stylish choice. Caroling in the neighborhood calls for something warm, but don't forgo your inner fashionista. A bronze metallic parka with suede boots and knitted accessories looks casual yet stylish. Dresses are the season's favorite--and the little black dress can go just about anywhere and is once again a smart--and stylish--choice.

Accessories add major style this season. Shoes and bags are most definitely a key way to update your wardrobe for the holiday party season. An ideal way to accent all black is to wear a colorful bag: Consider turquoise, crimson or any shade of metallic. When choosing shoes, high heels are perfect with pants or dresses; ballet flats embellished with rosettes are both comfortable and chic.

For more casual functions, boots are another great option and the styles are endless: knee-high lace-up boots, ankle stilettos or platform wedges. Leg wear is important, and tights (both textured and solid) provide both warmth and style. Don't forget jewelry. Gold returns this year as a must-have addition to both casual and formal holiday outfits.

All of these styles are available at off-price stores such as T.J. Maxx, which offers substantial savings every day on brand-name and designer fashion for the entire family and home. With new merchandise arriving every week in every store, it's a whole new store every time you shop.
