The holiday season is upon us, and while gift-giving often takes center stage, it’s also a time to celebrate style and self-expression. As we wrap up another year, let’s embrace the joy of dressing up for festive gatherings, whether it’s a company party, a cozy get-together with friends or a family dinner. This year, let’s focus on bold, joyful outfits that make a statement and reflect our unique personalities.
Embrace bold fashion choices
According to Nigerian designer Elexiay, who specializes in stunning crochet pieces, the key to holiday fashion is to mix textures, add pops of color and sprinkle in some sparkle.
