Holiday Guide to Elevating Your Essentials
We all know the Holidays this year are going to be different, but does that give you an excuse to not dress up and be completely dressed down? Will you be rocking baggy sweatpants to your holiday dinner this year, or will you put in a tiny bit of effort? If you have seen any of my most recent style posts, then you know I like to mix and match style and looks. Some times I dress up and other times I will mix it up and have more of a street style vibe. There are ways to elevate any style and bring new life to a look that would other wise seem boring. There will be a few ideas throughout this post that you can use and incorporate while you are getting dressed.
I’m sure you are wondering what is an essential?… Right?
Essential pieces in your closet consist of pieces that you can wear over and over again with a ton of different looks. Some examples include: tshirts, jackets and denim.

Too often a great outfit can be ruined by a pair of sneakers. Rather, opt for a loafer -- the duality of a loafer accomplishes slickness and comfort. Both fundamental for all your holiday affairs.
Dress pants can be boring and often, the least comfortable in the outfit array. Be cozy, without sacrificing elegance by choosing a crisp pair of slim-fitting jeans or tapered sweatpants.
Wristwear? They say you’re never fully dressed without a watch. Luckily, there’s a lot of great options that can really accentuate your outfit. Take Thümm & Co for example -- They just launched their men’s watches making it the no-brainer solution for merging dressy and casual. With their timeless, crafted design, their men's watches are meticulously engineered for everyday work and play.
They think everyone would agree -- the sweatshirt, by proxy -- is the most necessary item in achieving a comfortable fit. Though it can often be considered a “dressed-down” item, layer your sweatshirt with a cardigan for a more scenic approach.
Rounding out your holiday outfit, choose a solid-color, knit hat that is sure to accompany your comfy and vestiary requirements.
Adding accessories is a great way to bring something special to any outfit! Think about that as you put your holiday looks together this season.
