All shades or red, especially deep wines and burgundies are all the rage this Fall/Winter season – and perfect to get plenty of wear during the holidays.
Black Halo is known for their contemporary fitting sophisticated pieces – especially this Jackie O dress. It put the brand on the fashion for a simple reason – the fit is so slimming and flattering and the style is timeless. This sheath is made to show off a woman’s curves, but you truly don’t need the perfect figure for this to look good – it just makes you look that way, with carefully placed seams around the mid-section and a beautiful cut. It comes with the black belt, making it easy to pair with black legwear and black heels for a work-ready holiday look.

Bailey 44 - Astin Wrap Skirt
X
Outside the Office, Outfit 1. Let’s start with this amazing skirt from Bailey 44. The black leather-like detail makes it easy to wear with black hose or tights and heels, and adds a little modern edge that is still so appropriate for the office crowd. The beautifully deep red fabric is made of a thick and stretchy ponte fabric, so it will move with you from day to night, keeping its shape and staying super comfortable. The faux wrap styling cleverly adds some dimension in just the right places to smooth and slim the belly and hip area. In XS-XL (and Petites) this is a modern fit that will work on everyone. There are lots of ways to wear it, including with just a simple black sweater once the holidays are behind us. But here, we’re showing you a more festive alternative.

Polo Ralph Lauren - Cotton Poplin Tuxedo Shirt
X
There are a lot of tops that will look beautiful with the skirt featured in this outfit for an office-sponsored holiday party. The one from Ralph Lauren that we’re featuring can be worn without the silk chiffon bow and a couple buttons unbuttoned, for a true borrowed-from the boys tuxedo-shirt inspired look. But for the holidays, we think it’s fun to add the extra touch of glam by including the bow and wearing it as shown. After all, it’s not easy to find festive options that have nothing to do with sparkle and shine – this is the right way to do it for the work crowd. The contemporary fit is trim for a polished look without being too skinny so the buttons won't pull. Alternatively, a solid black silk ruffled blouse will give the skirt a softer look.
