Winter Fads

Winter Formal Fads

Winter is definitely a time for celebration, and if anything proves that fact to be true it’s fashion. It’s rare to walk past a store this time of year and not see a formal dress on display. With so many gatherings and social events coming up, retailers have the right idea. A few items have been sticking out at me as I roam past the store windows on Michigan Avenue that might help you discover some ideas for getting ready for this season’s formal events, including the main event itself, Christmas.

The top winter formal fad I’ve noticed so far is the sequins dress. These dresses are full of sparkles galore. The sequins dress is such a fabulous trend, not to mention one of my favorites. It’s a sure way to grab attention and have the instant spotlight. Forever 21 has great finds, all for under $40.

Another fad I’ve noticed is the thick-heeled pump. These pumps still have their height, the heels are just a little wider. Not only does the thicker heel make heels a little easier to walk in, but the trend is also exciting. I usually stick to the skinny-heeled stiletto, but after sighting the thick-heeled pump, I quickly grabbed a pair.

Chunky necklaces have also made their mark on the winter formal fads. And by chunky I mean big, huge, ginormous. These pieces are meant to be be statements, meaning your clothing should be close to a blank canvas. For instance, a yellow chunky necklace would work well with a plain gray dress.

Last but not least is the blazer. This item will be vital to your wardrobe this winter. It’s so versatile and it goes great over dresses. Transform any look with this lovely winter trend.

Now go, be fabulous!
