In a year where everything has been turned upside down and certainty has been a little elusive, I’m excited to welcome the traditions of the next two months. There is something comforting knowing that we can rely on traditions and celebrations, if even just pared down a bit.

Whether your upcoming holiday is here or there, with just a few or with a group, chances are you are already thinking about what to wear for the holiday events ahead.

I turned to three stunning stylists, Kendra Bissig from The Blonde Mom, Marina from Odessa Girl and Brigitte Marie Foret to help answer the question What to Wear for the Holidays. Their recommendations range from dressed up to comfy but leave you with inspiration and a reason to celebrate the season in style.

Cheers to the New Year and making it through one of the wildest years on record! Though there have been many hardships, there are also countless reasons to celebrate. We could think of no one better to turn for a New Years Eve look that can work for a small celebration at home with one or a few than the woman who knows how to celebrate life and fashion every.single.day.

Brigitte’s Instagram has been a source of inspiration for years, but particularly this year when it has felt like one groundhog’s legging day after another. Personally, she has inspired me to have fun with getting dressed – even if it only meant going to the mailbox.

What we love about these looks is that they are timeless and can certainly be worn for years to come or even deconstructed as other looks for celebratory occasions in 2021, of which there will be many.
