Three styling tricks for festive looks

The festive season is the perfect time for style experiments. Ahead of the Christmas and New Year celebrations, we’ve teamed up with ELLE’s new digital cover girl, Ingrid Prado, to bring you three proven formulas guaranteed to make you shine this winter.

Black-and-white classics

This is a fail-safe option for any festive occasion. When you’re unsure what to wear, turn to the timeless combination of black and white. A black top with white bottoms, a white top with black bottoms, or a total black outfit with white accents — these combinations are always elegant and timeless. It’s not just a classic; it’s a symbol of sophistication that suits any dress code.

Accessories that make magic

Gloves, scarves, or their combination — stylish details that can instantly transform a basic dress or suit into a festive look. Opt for silk, velvet, or embroidered pieces to add a touch of refinement. Don’t be afraid to experiment: bold accents or even dramatic monochrome accessories will make your outfit unforgettable.

A long blazer as a dress

A modern and confident trick for a party is wearing a long blazer as a dress. To balance the look and tone down its boldness, pair it with high boots instead of classic heels. While this may not be the most practical choice for winter, it’s perfect for evening events in warm settings. The look is daring, stylish, and infused with contemporary chic.
