It’s beginning to look a lot like… FINALS SEASON. As bittersweet as finals may be, there is a light at the end of the tunnel, collegiettes: the annual holiday break. A well-deserved rest to immerse ourselves in old-school holiday films, spend time with family and friends, and to stay miles away from essays and exams.
Late nights studying and shopping for the perfect gift can be stressful, so Her Campus is here to ensure planning holiday outfits isn’t part of that to-do list. Whether your plans over the break involve casual hangouts with friends, formal family events, or dates with someone special, we have created an outfit guide for every event this holiday!
1. Family Event
Stay true to festive colours and patterns, yet elegant and sophisticated to greet relatives and friends. Try a plaid skirt paired with a warm sweater and tall boots.
2. New Year’s Eve
Sequins on New Year’s Eve are far from groundbreaking, but the way you wear them can be! Pull out your glitziest pieces to ring in 2016, collegiettes. Try a sequined romper, sparkly statement necklace, or glittery shorts!
3. Skating
This is an inevitable winter break activity, whether with someone special or a group of friends. Stay warm in leggings, layers, and a wool coat. Match with winter accessories for added warmth like scarves, beanies, and furry mittens!
4. Winter Stroll
For those souls brave enough to endure the cold to embrace shimmering snowfalls and sparkling lights, stay warm! Ensure to wear waterproof boots, cozy toques, and a parka.
5. Boxing Day Shopping
Layers are key to surviving hours at the mall. Try a knit tunic (maybe even one you got for Christmas!) with dark jeans, casual booties, and gold accessories.
6. Holiday Work Party
Try a cocktail dress with holiday designs or metallic details! Or try a skirt paired with festive tights and animal print shoes for an unexpected detail.
Happy Holidays collegiettes! Good luck with finals and enjoy the well-deserved break! xo
