When you’ve got different Christmas reunions lined up with different groups of people, knowing what to wear is often a dilemma.
Celebrity stylist Liz Uy gave out a pretty simple idea if you want to look dressy with minimal effort: “[Wear] anything that shimmers.” The founder of styling company StyLIZed added that it doesn’t have to be loud and colourful. “Let’s say if you’ve got a classic style, you can try [other] fabrics [like] silk or satin.
“[Get a] black [top] but in velvet… It looks festive!” shares Liz during the launch of R.A.F.'s 2019 holiday collection.
Silk, satin, and velvet are textured fabrics that subtly shine, which give them that polished appearance.
From velvet jumpsuits to silk V-neck tops, here are textured pieces, fit for whatever style you may have:
