The evergreens are adorned, the Carolers are chomping at the bit, and the mulled wine, well, let’s just say it’s beginning to flow a lot like water. The signs are all there: the holiday season is alive and well and, without question, we’re relishing every minute of it.
By now your social calendar is likely brimming with buzzy gatherings galore (what’s not to love?), which means your after-hours wardrobe is surely seeing a lot more mileage than usual.
And with more mileage comes a new consideration: the wardrobe update. A new take. Instant-elevation (save for the soirée). Which begs the question, why not achieve that next-level refresh by adding a brand-new selection into the rotation?
Whether black-tie is in order for your next outing, or simply, a beloved smart-casual sensibility, these 12 swoon-worthy picks may very well land you the honor of best-dressed before the year’s end. So go ahead, take a good gander and then (maybe) thank me a bit later.
