The holiday season is filled with special occasions from Christmas parties to winter weddings to New Year's Eve celebrations.  No matter the dress code, we know you want to take your look to the next level which is where we come in.

We women have been borrowing menswear pieces for years, but these days suit-dressing is at an all time high.  Starting with the Fall 2023 runway and dominating street style looks and fashion-lovers wardrobes this season, everyone is elevating their styling this season. Blazers, vests, and trousers have always been closet staples, sure, but make more of a statement when worn together in one complete look.  Powersuits, as they are famously called, can be dressed up or down, sexy or buttoned-up, make you feel powerful (_it is in the name_) and are always considered appropriate attire for anywhere your day or night take you.  This fall is all about "businesscore", whether you are looking to elevate your workplace attire or simply update your overall style.  And the pieces that surround it can slide right into your [capsule wardrobe](https://www.vettedmag.com/product/build-a-capsule-wardrobe-of-minimalist-essentials).  From stylish work clothes to fun nights out, we've got all the basics covered.

Menswear Looks:  Borrowed from the Boys

If you're someone who hosts family over the holidays, you might already be thinking about how to up your table setting game this year.  After all, first impressions are everything and it's always so gratifying to hear "oohs and ahhs" as soon as people walk into your dining room.  Creating a color palette and a mood and then setting a beautiful tablescape can be a fun way to get into the holiday spirit.  To that end, interior designer and Vetted contributor [Melissa Urdang Bodie from Melissa + Miller Interiors](https://www.vettedmag.com/product/spotlight-on-melissa-miller-interiors-luxury-designs) has helped to provide inspiration this season and pick out unique pieces to shop along with it.  A beautifully set table comes in many variations.  Whether you want a lively gathering with a bright, colorful setting, an outdoor rustic theme, or a more romantic mood with dark, chic pieces, we have the inspiration for your modern table setting.

## 12 of the Best Ways to Style Black Pants This Season

9.6.23

There is something so classic and chic about a perfectly tailored pair of black pants.  No matter what the trends are, black pants will always be in style.  While it used to be strictly thought of as office attire or for more formal occasions, it's now on heavy rotation for casual, everyday wear.  And a pair of black pants can be the central focus of your wardrobe if you have the right tools to style them in different ways.  We believe in creating a capsule wardrobe and black pants can be one of the main, versatile foundations.  And the good news for trouser-lovers everywhere is that these days, any leg shape goes.  Wide-leg?  Definitely.  Pleated?  Sure.  Straight?  Of course.  Whichever fit reflects your own personal style and fits best is fair game.  



From casual to dressy, there are so many different styles to choose and versatile ways to wear them.  Here is some inspiration to style your whole look and, as always, see where you can shop for some of the best black pant styles this season:

Black Magic:  Leaning Into The Black Pant Trend

8.4.23  

Lingerie is not just reserved for the bedroom.  These days it’s for everyday dressing too.  It may feel a bit rebellious to reveal something that is usually hidden, but that's what makes it so appealing.  The balance of something so delicate and detailed against harder pieces like denim or leather makes an immediate impact. A style as simple as a silk cami that started out as sleepwear can be transformed from a classic underpinning by day to an elevated top by night.  Top fashion brands like Prada and Stella McCartney have taken these romantic pieces a step further with their lace-trimmed silk dresses and skirts having their moment in the spotlight.  Styling them is the key to whether you take these pieces to an evening out or a morning meeting.  (Bedroom to Boardroom anyone?). Below is our guide for the best underwear-turned-outerwear trends and our favorite ways to style them.

The 90s are back and show no sign of slowing down.  The minimalist trend conjures up beautiful images of Jennifer Aniston in simple slip dresses and Cindy Crawford in a basic white tank and high-rise jeans (for those of us who were around during this time).  All of the essential pieces from the decade have been redesigned for the capsule wardrobe you need in your closet now.  And the good news is you’ll be able to wear all of these pieces for years to come.  Minimalism at its core is about embracing quality essentials and fewer items that last.

Today’s minimalism can go by other names you may have heard like “Quiet Luxury” or “Discreet Chic”.....being fashionable doesn’t mean being flashy.  Master the less-is-more look with classic pieces that transcend seasonality and look even better when paired together.


Some important things to keep in mind when building your capsule wardrobe:

## Neutral Colors are Key:
Try a monochromatic look with a neutral color palette.  Stick to black, grey, white, or beige as the basic colors, and try a head-to-toe look in just one of these shades.  It's okay to mix them together....just make sure to stick to these neutral shades and don't add any bright colors.

## Style Your Way:
One of the hallmarks of a minimalist wardrobe is versatility.  You can mix and match these styles and wear them for any number of occasions.  Play with proportion and layer items over each other.  You can create so many different looks with only a few versatile pieces!  It's all about your own individual style.

## Quality over Quantity:
Choose quality pieces that you love and that will last.  We love brands like The Row and Nili Lotan because they last forever and look chic season after season.  Their collections of elevated basics are the perfect minimal capsule wardrobe all on their own.  The best way to create your own minimalist closet is to purchase a small number of items that are high quality, go back to many different styles, and last in the long run.

## This trend works for every body type:
There are a ton of options to play with within the minimalist style.  If you want to show off your legs, go for a little black dress.  If you want to accentuate your waist, try high-rise jeans with a white tank. And don't forget to layer a blazer over both to create a chic look for any body shape.


Shop our Minimalist Wardrobe Checklist of key pieces below to create different looks and start creating your own capsule wardrobe.

And always remember that how you put things together should reflect your own personal style.  Polished pieces and simplicity are key for this timeless and effortless "trend" that never really goes out of style.

POP OF COLOR

If there is one fail-safe, always-trending, looks-great-on-everyone look for summer it's head-to-toe white.  It makes a casual look more elevated and an evening look stand out.  It's also easy to accessorize, pairing with any of the latest accessory trends including metallics, brights and of course, white.  We're loving everyday staples like the perfect straight white jean from Agolde paired with a rib tank to the crisp white off-the-shoulder poplin dress from Altuzarra.  Whichever pieces you go for, an all white look is a summer essential.

FATHER'S DAY GIFT GUIDE

We've all seen celebrities like Kendell Jenner walking down the street sans pants and thought "Well, that's impractical".  But if there was ever a time to step out in a sheer number, summer would definitely be that time.  You are already strutting half naked down the beach by day, why not throw a sheer dress over it at night?  If you ask me....you're actually putting on MORE clothes.
So, if you are brave enough by August to try it out, here are some hot picks for you.  ("You're welcome" to straight gentlemen everywhere.)

Summer wedding season is quickly approaching.  Here's what to wear to get on the coveted **BEST DRESSED GUEST** list:

CUT OUTS:
Cut outs are more strategic than creative this season so it's easier to find one that flatters every body type.

SETS:
Perfectly matched to wear as a set to events and versatile enough to wear separately later, these are like a three-for-one wardrobe investment.

PRINTS:
You can never go wrong with a beautiful print that sets you apart from other guests.  And there is no shortage of gorgeous prints this season!

Some of our favorite designers to shop this wedding season include:  [A.L.C.](https://alcltd.com/collections/dresses), [Zimmermann](https://www.zimmermann.com/us/swim/clothing/dresses), [Ulla Johnson](https://ullajohnson.com/collections/dresses), [Agua Bendita](https://us.aguabyaguabendita.com/collections/dresses) and [Poupette St Barth](https://www.poupettestbarth.com/collections/dresses).

BEST DRESSED GUEST

The CHANEL JACKET is a staple that is timeless, ageless and has always had a sophisticated allure.  It was created in 1956 by Coco Chanel and with Virginie Ward now at the helm, it's as modern as ever.  The jacket is super versatile and can be styled in so many ways that every designer has created their own interpretation of it.

Shop our curated selection of vintage Chanel as well as other brand's take on the style at different price points, all while maintaining style and quality.  We mixed in some other wardrobe favorites to help you master the high/ low street style look.  Take style cues from some of our favorite influencers and mix one into your wardrobe.

FASHION'S FAVORITE JACKET

For all of us 90's babies, this trend could not be more on point.  Mom jeans, ribbed tanks, OG sambas and a cute baseball cap is all we need to turn on the nostalgia.  This trend is the perfect mix of preppy/ cool, high/low, sporty/ chic.  The country club vibe is grown up and so are we.  And since joining a club and focusing on wellness is just a way of life when you reach a certain age (ahem), we might as well dress the part.  (Bonus points if you can throw in a tennis bracelet and a Birkin bag.  Just saying.)

90s COUNTRY CLUB

Never boring, always in style....the trench has been a fashion staple for decades.  It is the quintessential outerwear piece to transition you out of winter through spring or to layer over sweaters come fall.  (Don’t worry, we’ll remind you in September ;))

The trench is also a chameleon, effortlessly pairing with something dressy, casual or even sporty.  Relevant now more than ever, it adds instant cool to any look.  Long, khaki options are the current street style favorites, but other trends with staying power include cropped lengths and neutrals like navy, olive or beige.  Snap up your favorite before it's gone!

If you haven't jumped into the utility trend yet, it's not too late.  There are some amazing utility jackets, skirts and pants out there that shouldn't be ignored.  But one recent trend that shows no sign of slowing down is **Utility Denim**.  There is a wide range of shades from indigos to white and silhouettes from slim to easy.  Whether you want to dip your toe into the trend with a simple mariner jean or dive in with over-the-top cargo pockets, here are some picks to get you started.  But don't wait, some of these styles have sold out many times over already!

UTILITY DENIM

One of the most important staples of any amazing wardrobe is a **timeless tote**.  Stylish and large enough to "tote" around anything you need, it's one of those items you won't be able to leave home without.  I personally used it as a diaper bag when my kids were small, to carry my laptop to/ from the office and as my carry-on for weekend getaways.  A beautiful tote is something every on-the-go woman needs to take her everywhere with everything.  It's an investment piece that will pay dividends for years to come.  Shop the picks below for styles that hold up to all the things you can throw at it (or in it) and stand the test of time.  Plus you'll look oh-so-stylish with it on your arm.

TIMELESS TOTES

Who said needlepoint was dead?  Old fashioned?

Well [**Furbish**](https://furbishstudio.com/collections/needlepoint-pillows) brought it back and took it to a whole new level.  Hand embroidered in wool and backed in luxe velvet, they've revived this Southern staple with sayings that are sure to make you laugh.  I personally have a friend in mind for every single one of these and maaaaybe one or two for myself.

Each of these needlepoint pillows takes approximately 20 hours to hand stitch and measures 9" x 15".

**Small pillow, big statement.**

PILLOW TALK

Denim midi & maxi skirts are as easy to style as your favorite jeans.  Equally cute with a sweater and boots as with a tank and sandals, the **denim skirt** is the perfect piece to transition from winter to spring and from spring into summer.  With so many ways to style and dress up or down, the possibilities are endless.  All you need to do is make it yours.

Stacking Made Simple: Ultimate Necklace Stack Ideas

When something looks effortless, there is almost always a certain amount of effort that went into it. Layering necklaces is one of those things. Stacking has become an art form and we are here to help you make that "effortless look" easy.


We've handpicked our favorite necklaces of different dimensions to make it simple for you to create your own stack. And with various price points, you can shop high or low or simply choose one that stacks well with necklaces you already own.  Follow our ultimate guide below on how to create the perfect necklace stack that reflects your own personal style.

## 1.  Choose the Length of Your Stack

A great way to start is by choosing the length of your stack: all can be short, long or choose necklaces of varying lengths.  

As a simple rule, the shortest necklace should be 16", mid-length necklaces are 18", and longer necklaces are in the 20-24" range.  If you want extremely long chains, you can find some that are 30"-36".  We like to keep the necklace layers within the 16"-24" range so they create a nice stack when paired together.


## 2.  Strike the Right Balance

Next, be sure to consider the weight and size of each piece to strike the right balance. You might want to consider delicate chains mixed with chunkier chains to create your own unique look.  Selecting bold drop pendants or mixing in pearl necklaces with your chain stack can also be a fun way to create a statement look.  For some beautiful pearl necklace options, see our [edit of Pearl Jewelry to shop here](https://www.vettedmag.com/product/not-your-mothers-pearls).  Pairing only a couple of shorter chains together can create a chic minimalist look.  Decide which layered necklace look you are going for to strike the right balance.


## 3.  Choose Your Metal

Generally speaking, you should pick one metal for your stack.  Our personal penchant is to use yellow gold chains.  If you love rose gold or white gold, choose different necklaces in one of these metals to create your layered look.


## 4. Personalize Your Stack

One fun way to create your own unique stack is to add a personal touch like an initial or monogram.  You can also add a favorite necklace that has been handed down to you by your mom or grandmother or given to you for a special occasion. 


## 5.  Play with Texture and Pattern

A good idea when it comes to necklace layering is to play with the different textures and patterns of the chains you are using.  Layer a smooth herringbone chain next to a bolder paperclip chain (these are also usually adjustable which gives you more options for different lengths when layering it).  Add pendants like a coin, hamsa or gemstone to create a focal point to your stack.  We love Mejuri's Terra Pendant Coin Necklace and Sorellinas Tarot Necklaces below.  If you love a pop of color, Crystal Haze Jewelry has fun options like their Serena Necklace, also below.

## 6.  Your Stack Should Be Based on What You're Wearing

An important thing to consider when putting your stack together is the neckline of the top or dress you are wearing.  Shorter necklaces look great when you have a higher neckline like a t-shirt.  Go for a medium-length stack when you have a button-down shirt on with the neckline open.  Longer chains look best with open or plunging necklines and v-neck tops.


## 7.  Have Fun and Prepare for all Those Compliments!

After you decide on the overall look you're going for, have fun playing with different chains and pendants that reflect your own unique style.  Mix them up based on what you're wearing to create longer, shorter and varying lengths of stacks.  



Now that you have all the tools from our ultimate guide to build your own statement necklace stack, shop our edit from some of our favorite designers below:
