"Subtlety is so last season - showing off is officially back. For far too long, fashion has been dominated by minimalism and quiet luxury. But the pendulum has swung, and joyful, unabashed style has returned just in time for the holidays. The stretch between Thanksgiving and New Year's Eve is a marathon in all senses of the word - a blur of cocktail parties, gift exchanges, and festive activities -"
"While the holidays have always been about sparkle, 2025's approach is more artful than all-out glitter. These pieces blend nostalgia and novelty; a hint of old-school glamour with a modern twist. Here, it's as much about shine as texture: velvet, metallic knits, mohair, even crochet. The palette leans classic - reds, greens, creams - but feels fresh with pops of citrusy lime or mirrored silver."
"Think sculptural jewelry that doubles as art, dramatic elbow-length gloves (the longer, the better), and oversized scrunchies or bows that feel effortlessly undone. What makes these accessories so good is their ability to make any outfit look slightly more maximalist - perfect for the most festive time of the year. So consider this your permission to go all-in. Below, find 13 wearable conversation starters that prove "less is more" is a thing of the past."
Subtlety has been replaced by joyful, unabashed style for the holiday season, favoring maximalist accessories over minimalism. The period between Thanksgiving and New Year's Eve requires multiple chic, themed outfits. Basics like a black blazer or chunky turtleneck can be transformed with faux-fur collars or statement brooches. Fabrics emphasize texture—velvet, metallic knits, mohair, crochet—while the palette mixes classic reds, greens, and creams with citrusy lime and mirrored silver. Accessories include sculptural jewelry, dramatic elbow-length gloves, oversized scrunchies and bows. These elements make outfits more maximalist and encourage embracing bold, conversation-starting pieces throughout the holidays.
