DOs and DON’Ts of Holiday Glam (according to Michael Kors)
Need a little inspiration this holiday season? Would you like to look good and not tacky? Have you ever looked at your past Christmas pictures and thought…OMG…WHAT WAS I THINKING!? Fear no more, here are some tips from a big name fashion designer himself Michael Kors (from glamour.com)
1. Embrace the little red dress as an LBD alternative:
DO experiment with different shades of red, like the orangey hue on Jessica Szohr. There’s one that works for every skin tone.
DON’T pair a red dress with red shoes, a red bag or other red accessories. All that together? It instantly says, “Santa’s helper!”
2. Try burnished metallics:
DO try off-shades like deeper, gunmetal gray, as on Camilla Belle, or subtle bronze. The shiniest golds and silvers are only for the seriously brave.
DON’T be afraid to mix in neutral accessories and non-metallic pieces, too. That’s chic.
3. Wear sequins the new casual way:
DO try pieces like long-sleeve tees, tanks and shorts, which feel glamorous and relaxed, like Drew Barrymore’s example.
DON’T forget to balance the look with matte fabrics so you don’t blind people.
4. Bust out those super-short hemlines:
DO counterbalance the bare legs with a covered-on-top look, as on Lou Doillon.
DON’T be bare everywhere…you get the point.
5. Slip into ankle booties as a new take on evening shoes:
DO choose a stiletto-heeled style. It gives a tougher edge to romantic holiday dresses and is a nice departure from your usual pumps or party sandals.
DON’T layer on colored tights with these. One statement accessory is enough.
