(Not the usual) Holiday look
Are the velvet dress, the tartan skirt, the ugly sweater boring? For the less purist and more fashionistas among us, the month of December represents the right time to put aside every cliché and focus on originality. Among the chicest choices under the mistletoe, the polka dot printblue, white or caramel base: to celebrate in fifties style, a mini dress is enough. Sensual and modern with the knee-high boot and very sheer stockings.
The must-have of December 2025: sheepskin
Among the unwritten rules of life as a fashion victim, it’s time to take out the sheepskin from the wardrobe. The most passionate agree on the beginning of December: on the other hand, it pairs perfectly with the hot mug for walking. The most popular model, in dark brown leather and natural furonly slightly oversized. The look to avoid mistakes, in the name of simplicity, with a white crew neck, straight jeans and moccasins.

A layering idea: the coat over the blazer
The layered outfit, when the thermometer reads 0 degrees, is a matter of ingenuity. Especially for those who are not inclined to bundle up. How to dress in December and stay warm then? In winter 2025 the “jacket on jacket” ploy is among the most popular. The classiest combination, the coat over the double-breasted blazer, the first open to show the styling, the second closed with buttons. And if one is black and the other is blue, the bar of elegance is raised considerably.

The color of the month: green touch
After the red touch, it’s time to experiment with the green side. The touch of bright green is the plus that transforms the look with very little effort. The rules are always the same: just one piece, possibly an accessory; the rest of the look played in decidedly more basic tones; combinations of non-trivial materials. Fancy another lively accent to match? The trendy vitamin orange.

The down jacket in a (really) chic way
On the midi skirt? On the evening dress? No. The only way to be truly elegant wearing the classic padded puffer jacket is to focus on a pair of black cigarette trousers.

The right model, obviously, helps: for those who decide to purchase in winter 2025, the advice is to opt for a plum-colored bomber jacketmaxi but not too much.
A neutral sweater or cardigan underneath is the plus that makes the ensemble truly sophisticated.
