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.
