It’s that time and you want to dress up your holiday party attire even if your soiree was downgraded to Town Tavern. But whatev. Do it up right with this holiday season’s best bottom-wear choice: the skirt. Mini, feathered, embellished or tulip, the bright colors, pretty fabrics and yes, er, sequins, will lift your mood and make you everyone’s Christmas wishes. (Or you can just think you are. That’s totally cool too.)

How to wear? For day, tuck in a crisp white button up, pair with a classic blazer and keep the heel low on your average black stiletto. For night - oh we hear the nightlife! - pair with a sheer top, colored or patterned tights (we love the heart pair at Top Shop) and of course, fancy footwork. To avoid looking too trampy, make sure your legs are covered and your top half is conservative. No turtlenecks ladies! But something in good taste. (Note: If you keep questioning it over and over again, you probably should choose a different top.) Let your night make-up say you don’t give an F$*!, and draw attention to your shoes.
