When the Sydney’s Closet Fashion Team is not designing plus-size special occasion dresses in December, you’ll find us dressed to the nines at holiday dinners, weddings, Happy Hours, and family celebrations.

Getting glam isn’t always easy. To make dressing up stress-free, our Fashion Team pulled together our top-six tips for feeling confident and party-ready this season.

1. Choose the outfit that puts the biggest smile on your face.

Holiday dressing should lift your mood. We always reach for a red dress — it’s our instant dose of festive. Find your happy color and make it your signature shade of the season.

2. Always rehearse your look.

Try everything on the day before — the dress, the jewelry, the shoes, the purse, and yes, the shapewear. A quick rehearsal means no surprises and more time to enjoy the moment.

3. Make your decision early and stick with it.

Once you choose the outfit, commit. Second-guessing yourself right before walking out the door only adds stress. Trust your choice and enjoy the night.

4. Protect your signature style.

We all have a go-to vibe. Know your signature look and dress it up for the moment.

5. Let accessories elevate your look.

A sparkling earring, a sleek clutch, or a bold shoe can transform your outfit from simple to show-stopping with minimal effort.

6. Confidence is the best accessory of all.

No matter what you wear, let your confidence shine brightly. When you feel good, you look incredible.

Here’s to a season of celebrations — and a wardrobe that makes every moment feel magical.

Happy Holidays!
