Our Stylist's Guide to Holiday Parties 2021
Its holiday season! Time to celebrate and make lasting memories. Here are few of my top tips for your most memorable holiday party moments. enjoy the moment.
Focus on stunning standout statement pieces that are comfortable enough to wear beyond 12:01am. Sequins are an excellent holiday staple but finding the RIGHT sequin POP that truly allows your eve to sparkle is utter holiday magic.
Keep an eye out for details that pop, shimmer, shake – esp. for individual pieces that really command attention and immediately draw eyes.
Ingredients for your standout Holiday Party outfit:
Frills, pearls, sheer, satins, and color pops.
Paired with protective waterproof Chooka footwear to bring a chic, unique, and comfortable style to one of your most memorable outfits of the year! Why wobble and hobble through the holidays with wet cold toes in sky high heels when stylish waterproof comfort is a thing?
Classic Dot Duck Skimmer Black
We are thinking:
Pearls & Polka Dots
Dots on dots on dots - Don’t shy away from pattern matching! Consider a classic lbd with an neck-breaking twist – this black knit dress is full of surprises. An unexpected pop on each side, symmetrical circular cut outs are bursting with delicate pearl detailing. Sheer polka dot tights in coordinated color are perfectly paired with Chooka’s Classic Dot Duck Skimmer’s in black gives us a look that’s full dot dive. Give yourself the opportunity to mix and match and test and try. Test out expected pairings in the same pattern family and play within the same color palette when testing out pattern matching.
Polished Tall Black
We are thinking:
Color Pop & Metallic Statement
A solid green satin dress is deceptively nonbasic – this emerald green stunner creates a jewel tone holiday ready base begging for this metallic celestial fringe gold party jacket. . Try to find a piece that shimmers wildly against satin, you will have heads turning all night! This stunner is gorgeous, possibly even very the definition of holiday cheer. When starting with significantly strong elements, your footwear needs to compliment – not compete. My pairs-with-literally-everything-ever rain boot are Chooka’s Polished Tall Black boot. Modern, sleek polished, these top-rated go-to’s are the LBD of boots –amazing pick if you’re into boots that pair with everything you own and keep your feet dry, comfy and cute.
Polished Tall Olive
We are thinking:
Sheer Print Dress
LBDs are anything but basic. I adore an expected pairing like this sheer star dress paired with a knee-high chunky-soled boot, like Chooka’s Polished Tall in Olive. This sheer layered star print dress is a contrasting pairing. Frill detailing gathered at the waist and skirt scatters in a fun, unexpected texture that playfully contrasts with the delicate sheerness of the overlay. The olive adds further to the unexpected, olive is winky and fun, black is basic and everyday. Switch it up with a different color spin on a neutral boot. Accent the look with yellow-gold (think: goldenrod, marigold, buttercup, dandelion, etc.), picks up the gold undertones of the olive green boots. Gold accessories will pop out from the black dress and compliment the olive-green boots.
Polished Tall Dark Taupe
We are thinking:
Sequins & Colorful Blazer
Bright, cheerful blazers are a colorful must this holiday season. Make an impact wherever you go, pairing bright cheerful color with happy sequins. How can we ignore a sequin dress in December! We just can’t. A brilliant twinkling sequin turtleneck sheath dress pops against a delicious candy- colored blazer. Balance out our visual feast with our Chooka’s Polished Tall Dark Taupe boots.
Moto Boot Black
We are thinking:
Black Boots & Beads
One my favorite holiday aesthetics is twinkling shiny lights. Whenever I incorporate bright silvery metallic elements it’s like I’m sprinkling my own holiday lights into a look.
A silver shimmer dress captures all that twinkle in a single item! Paired with a long fringe beaded jacket in a neutral shimmery shade, topped with nod to the, ‘90s Chooka’s Moto Boot in black. To give more of an edge, I choose black footwear to contrast the sweetness softness of all the glitter and glam of our party dress and topper jacket. Pairing a statement jacket to your outfit levels up your look! One of my favorite looks anytime my night involves lots of mixing and mingling – this is a fresh combo that’s both chic and comfy.
Bellevue Chelsea Black
We are thinking:
The Most Comfortable Outfit of All
Satin pants: are they pajamas or outerwear? They are whatever your heart desires! These ruby red satin joggers are seamlessly festive and comfortable. To compliment these cheery scarlet satin joggers, I wanted a boot that hits ankle right where the jogger meet together. The Chooka Bellevue Chelsea in black provides just enough coverage as a boot but a peak of skin where it meets the jogger pant. Looking to keep warm wherever you’re enjoying the holiday season? Layer in a thick, chunky sweater - like this fuzzy pink sweater. This sweater features dramatic, large sequins hanging from the elbows – an expected detail sure to elicit smiles.
I hope you all have splendid, stylish holidays!
I love my festive holiday looks paired with Chooka’s fresh footwear collection – I hope you do too!! Dress fabulously chic and stay comfortable during the holidays – Most important, have fun with it all.
With lots of love,
