Sequins, lace, taffeta, leather: Holiday dressing is all about the texture. Adding luxe details to your usual wardrobe basics will elevate your ensemble from day to night, turning ho-hum to ho-ho-holiday. Here are a few ways to get festive:
1. Make an entrance with a statement coat. Take the drama one step further with a cape:

2. Add a layer of warmth and luxury with a little (faux) fur:

3. Brighten up with a structured silk shell. Dress up denim, or pair with a sleek pencil skirt. Top with a fitted jacket for a more formal look.

4. For evening events, dress it up!
Go for baroque—details, that is. For example, the lovely scrollwork on this dress from Parc Boutique.

Leather details are a way to add glamor without shine or sparkle, as with this Parc Boutique beauty.

5. And don’t forget the shoes:
For those that like height, these bowed beauties feature a bit of velvet for a rich look.

For flats-lovers, kick up the style a notch with some glitter in the color of the season, burgundy.

The main message is: Don’t forget the details! If your go-to is a little black dress, you can easily accessorize to add style for miles with the faux-fur hats and scarves that are in season, as well as sparkly clutches and embellished belts. This is one season where you can boldly step out with some daring details.
