Blazers are the easiest thing to throw on for holiday drinks after work. A creamy white with your favorite denim for a classic look, or try a full on velvet suit in a luxe forrest green hue for a special night out.

A sparkling sequin set is THE quintessential holiday outfit choice. Wear together for a modern look, or pair the skirt with a silky blouse and the top with leather pants and a blazer and pearl accessories for a cool look for work.

For the fellas

Banana Republic Holiday Collection

Suits will always be a staple in a man’s wardrobe, but they don’t have to be boring. For a classic option, Banana Republic’s Barathea Italian Suit offers elevated style to last a lifetime.

Banana Republic Holiday Collection

Made from Italian virgin wool, their designers employed a classic Barathea weave, a sharp roped shoulder construction and their tailored slim fit for a natural look that’s especially polished. Wear together with one of their cashmere sweaters, or break it up patterned trousers and button ups.

Banana Republic Holiday Collection

For a more playful approach, try their Caleta Italian Tweed Suit. The texture of tweed meets a traditional plaid pattern they hand selected from one of their favorite Italian mills. They cut this fabric in their Tailored Slim silhouette, adding patch pockets for a vintage-inspired feel.

Banana Republic Holiday Collection

If a suit is not your thing, their elevated separates like their Sendero Wool Coat, Vicente Cotton Sweaters, and Traveler Chino offer the ultimate in first-class comfort.

Holiday Party Looks

Gone are the days where your holiday style had to mimic a brightly lit Christmas tree. We still like to sparkle, yes, but the palette is a little more sophisticated. Anthropologie’s Holiday Party Shop is a fantastic collection of dresses, tops, skirts, and other fabulous accoutrements that will have all eyes on you this season (and for all of the right reasons).

Anthropologie Holiday Style

Here are a few outfit ideas to help inspire you for the holiday party season.

Classic Holiday

Anthropologie Holiday Style

A metallic dress in a classic silhouette is perfect for those were you want to look amazing, but you won’t have to think about what to wear: it’s a one and done piece! Add in some fun accessories (we can’t get enough of thei beaded handbags) and you’ll be out the door!

Anthropologie Holiday Style

 Playful Polka Dots

Anthropologie Holiday Style

Polka Dots may not be synonymous with holiday, but they’re such an unexpected delight this season. The ruffle detail keeps the look playful, while the wide leg trousers grounds it in sophistication. The top is such a statement piece, so keep accessories simple.

Anthropologie Holiday Style

Beaded Minimalism

For the chicest look of all, think of going for an all white and textured looks. A beaded tank paired with a satin slip skirt creates a look that’s equally chic for a night out or a day about town. Keep the added texture as the focus for your accessories as well.

Once Labor Day Weekend passes, you know that Fall (and cooler temps) is on the horizon.

Vineyard Vines has in a wonderful collection of End of Summer Classics that will help you easily transition your wardrobe into Fall.

The color palette is still bright but not neon, and balanced out with tons of blues, whites, and taupes to help ground the collection. There’s also a good amount of denim included that work for both work and weekend play.

Must-Have | Chico’s Faux Leather Collection

No matter what your personal style is, you need a little (faux) leather in your wardrobe. Chico’s currently has a collection of buttery soft statement making pieces that are ready to take you from day to night. While it may seem crazy to think about wearing leather at the moment (hi 95 degree temps in Memphis), the official first day of Fall is just around the corner, so you don’t want to miss out on adding these stylish essentials to your closet.

Chicos Saddle Creek

There are a ton of faux leather pieces to choose from at Chico’s, but here are 3 styles that we think will be the easiest to incorporate into your wardrobe.

Chicos Saddle Creek

Chicos Saddle Creek

Faux Leather Blazer
You can never go wrong with a faux leather blazer in a classic neutral shade of black or brown. Pair with your favorite denim, or ground a lighter pair of pants with a classic tee and hills for a minimalistic, chic look.

Chicos Saddle Creek

Faux Leather Vest
An elevated 3rd piece, you can style your faux leather vest the same way you would your favorite knit cardigan. A simple long-sleeve tee layered under it makes for a classic look, or pair it with a gorgeous, abstract print blouse for an outfit that’s totally on trend.

Chicos Saddle Creek

Faux Leather Trousers
Leather pants will never go out of style, and their cropped version with a cutwork hem makes the look trendy and fashion forward.

Don’t forget the accessories! Chico’s is known for their statement making jewelry, and it compliments this collection so well!

While the official first day of Fall isn’t until September 23, we’re entering into a transitional season this month. It may be hot during the day, but the nights are cool, so now’s the time to start adding in those pieces that will help with layering. Evereve, known for their elevated, everyday style, is the perfect choice to help you ease into Fall!

They can be worn with both heels and sandals, so they will be a versatile addition to your wardrobe.
