No worries, True Fashionista friends, we’ve got you covered, top to bottom! From happenin’ hats, smashing jewelry, accessories, and on down, we’ve got some dazzling ideas, courtesy of Naples’ best consignment store, True Fashionistas. It's time to let it all hang out and be happy, especially since we are discussing the holiday season.
Here are some happenin’ looks perfect for the office soirée, a reunion night out on the town with buds who are home for the holidays, or watching the proverbial ball drop to ring in ’22. Yeah, we said that.
TOP TO BOTTOM HOLIDAY CHIC PREVIEW 2021 - HATS
Yes, hats are acceptable at parties. You just have to know how to wear them, and also, OWN IT. Confidence in full gear, a Chanel black patent leather bucket hat, Gucci black leather baseball cap, or Eric Javits wool Zora felt Fedora are great ideas to top off your True Fashionista party look.

How about swapping that hat for jewelry as a headpiece? Before you knock it, picture this: Chanel has dished out a True Fashionista headband created from gold, pearly white, and crystal. It’s a worthy option, your highness. (Right?!)
Between the floral-inspired bling seen on runways by the True Fashionista likes of Peter Do, Simone Rocha, and Acne; statement collar necklaces at Fendi, Dior, and Paco Rabanne; and the return of metal fringe at Marni, Chanel, and Jil Sander, this season’s go-to jewels are made to turn heads.
Leave the mini hoops at home in favor of a pair of stacked chandelier earrings. Yes, the statement earring has returned. Chain mesh earrings by Paco Rabanne are a big, flashy, get noticed a mile away fine example. Lele Sadoughi’s Swarovski sunrise tortoise canopy linear earrings are an eye-catching choice as well.
Statement necklaces are making their, um, statement again, like Simone Badmer-Turner’s namesake Simone. Acne’s asymmetric chain necklace is a small, choker-like display of chonky silver with simple pendant dangling.
TOP TO BOTTOM HOLIDAY CHIC PREVIEW 2021 – DRESSES
The flood of cocktail dresses is immense, so one brilliant suggestion is to start with the collection at True Fashionistas, the best designer consignment store. Other dresses you’ll ogle for include the Eva Midi by Bronx and Banco, Aggi’s stunning Ava Emerald dress, and a number that will have you reaching for the stars, the Desi crystal-embellished tulle dress by New York label Khaite.
Thinking specifically New Year’s, with the one-shoulder silver minidress by Nissa. In two True Fashionista words: silver lamé!
A cute holiday party dress suggestion is Caroline Herrera’s polka dog bow silk mini dress. Why bring the host a present when the gift is you? The upper part of this mini is a gigantic bow.
TOP TO BOTTOM HOLIDAY CHIC PREVIEW 2021 – PURSES
You know we’re going to name-drop Louis Vuitton right about now, and BOOM, there it is! You can’t go wrong with something from the always True Fashionista annual LVMH Vivienne Holiday Collection. And serious props go to the company for creating a yearly adventure for mascot Vivienne. This year the young joyeuseté is celebrating the holidays at a vibrant carnival. The playful scene is portrayed across a selection of Vuitton leather accessories including the Zippy Wallet and Mini Pochette. Colorful and charming, these limited-edition collectors’ items are also a definite conversation starter. Bonus!
In other designer party purses, our friends at Prada have a bunch ready to go. With a focus on change and transformation, Prada serves up a lovely chalk white leather shoulder bag, sized to perfection. Their Saffiano shoulder purse in gorgeous emerald green will turn heads at the office soirée.
TOP TO BOTTOM HOLIDAY CHIC PREVIEW 2021 – FOOTWEAR
The basic rule for what kind of True Fashionista shoes to wear with a party dress goes like this: The more ornate your party dress outfit, the simpler the shoe should be. Keeping that in mind, here are some ideas as to what’s hot on your feet this holiday season.
Black pointed pumps like Sam Edelman’s classic stiletto Hazel are a solid can’t-go-wrong choice. Tom Ford’s 105mm lock leather pumps are in the same vein. And do we love our Jimmy Choos or what? Their black suede 85mm pump is a winner this year and, well, every year. For a change from black, get going in Nina’s 85 pointy toe pump, available in several fabric colors.
Stiletto ankle booties like Black Suede Studio’s Akiyo Sock bootie instantly complement any look. Ya gotta love some True Fashionista Tory Burch, Franco Sarto and Giuseppe Zanotti booties action too.
