You'll Be Surprised to Learn How 1 Editor Approaches Holiday Dressing

For a modern take on the classic white t-shirt, I love opting for one with subtle distressed detailing. It may seem casual at first glance, but with the body-con skirt or slip dress and the right accessories, it can easily work for an edgy and unexpected party look.

In my opinion, no holiday wardrobe is complete without a pair of insanely soft joggers you never want to take off. Thanks to the flattering fit and lace-up detail, these look just as cute on the couch with cozy socks as they do on the street with a leather jacket.

While a tissue-thin turtleneck works just as well tucked into the high-waisted skirt or joggers, I especially love it as a layering piece under the slip dress. Plus, the stripes add a nice contrast to the rest of the solid pieces.

My version of the perfect LBD? A slinky, satin slip dress. It's effortless, sexy without trying too hard, and so easy to wear, both alone or tossed over the tee or turtleneck.

Throw a little luxe in the mix with a body-con midi skirt in a rich fabric like velvet. Whether combined with the tee for a casual weekend or statement heels for a fancy affair, I consider a piece like this a wardrobe must have due to its endless styling options.

Since the rest of the pieces are neutral, I can't resist adding a blush bucket bag for a hint of color. Not only does the on-trend shade pair beautifully with the black and white separates, but the streamlined size is also ideal to fit your essentials for day or night.

Finally, round out the collection with classic black ankle boots to pair with absolutely everything. Between the sumptuous suede, the tall but wearable heel, and the unique lace-up detail, I'll be reaching for this pair more often than my party heels.
