Your Guide to Holiday Fabrics

December 10, 2025

Sequins, Satin & Velvet—The Trio That Makes Every Outfit Feel Magical

Which fabrics will instantly transform your outfit into something festive?

If there’s one thing I love about holiday dressing, it’s the textures. This is when fashion invites us to shine a little brighter, soften a little deeper, and lean fully into the luxe side of our closets.

Here’s what that looks like…

Sequins: Your Instant Spotlight.

A touch of sparkle goes a long way. Whether it’s a dress or a subtle tank layered under a blazer, sequins add energy and confidence during this time of holiday celebration.

Alexandra’s Insider Advice: Keep the rest of your look simple and let this sparkly texture do the talking.

Satin: Effortless Elegance.

Satin has that beautiful, liquid glow that catches candlelight and holiday lights perfectly.

Alexandra’s Insider Advice: Try a satin midi skirt with a chunky knit, or a satin blouse with tailored trousers for a modern holiday look.

Velvet: Your Cozy Luxe Favorite.

Velvet is the fabric equivalent of a warm hug. It is rich, dimensional and incredibly chic. And better yet, it photographs beautifully for those candid holiday moments.

Alexandra’s Insider Advice: Add a velvet blazer over a jumpsuit, or try adding a pair of velvet platforms with wide-leg trousers to provide texture without feeling overdone.

Want to Wear Them Together?

If you’re feeling bold, don’t be afraid to style these fabrics together. Satin against velvet makes a gorgeous contrast, while sequins pair beautifully with both. They key? Balance. Have one standout piece, supported by a refined foundation.

Wishing you all a holiday season filled with style, sparkle, and a little extra luxe. Have a holiday styling dilemma of your own? I’d love to hear and help. Simply hit “Reply” and let’s elevate your holiday looks together!
Stay bold, stay beautiful, and stay in touch for all of your fashion needs!

Styling

Don’t fear your closet, embrace it! Let’s face it, for many of us fashion feels like a never-ending tide of chic looks, must-have handbags, jaw-dropping shoes and bold accessories. Keeping up with trends is expensive, knowing how to work with the clothes you already own seems tricky, and dressing to cover your perceived flaws feels like an exercise in futility. Not any longer. Fashion and styling isn’t about expensive designers or the . . .
