My holiday calendar is filling up more quickly than I thought! I need some easy pieces I can mix and match. Please help!

The best part of the holiday season is getting to spend time with those you love and the dazzling ensembles you can wear of course! Start with updated basics, like faux leather leggings. After almost 2 years in loungewear, a slick statement piece like these go from casual gatherings and swanky parties with ease. A holiday layer is a must so opt for a classic plaid print in green tones in the shape of a cape. It can be worn, tied or open depending on your event. Layer it over a cranberry knit dress with faux leather leggings and silver heels. Or, try a trendy approach instead by embracing an old 90s favorite, the bodysuit. One with clean lines and a cut out will have you making a statement all season long.

We’re having a holiday party at my job this year and I really want to look nice but my office is kind of conservative. What should I wear?

Trying to keep your look festive for work, while maintaining your professional appearance is a challenge. Slight touches of print and twinkle add that extra element that creates festive style while remaining conservative. This can be done seamlessly by creating a base with a sleek sweater dress like the olive green style from Vero Moda. Add that dazzle you crave for the season with sparkling leggings and your favorite chunky heeled boots. Take your look one more step by layering with a modern open-front blazer in black and keeping the look holiday ready with a cozy plaid scarf.

The holidays are perfect for showing off your personal style, and 2021 is no exception. Slip more festive pieces into your season by shopping at dia.com today.
