Looking for a way to spice up your typical holiday party wardrobe? Style expert Lilliana Vazquez and Tamron Hall recommend wearing leather and they give a few trendy and affordable fashion ideas.
Family holiday party
Skirt, Zara.com, $59.90
A leather pencil skirt is a timeless classic to always have in your closet. For a luxe look during the holidays, opt for a mix of textures. Whether it's real leather or pleather, pair it with silk and faux fur to achieve the ultimate haute — but inexpensive — look. Think beyond black when it comes to leather. Rich jewel tones like ruby, sapphire and even emerald are perfect for the holidays and beyond.
Office holiday party
Top, Nordstrom Rack, $79.99
A leather top is the easiest way to add a modern edge to any look. Think you're too old to rock a little leather? Think again. Take classic, everyday items you wear, like a shell top, and do it in leather for an instant update to your wardrobe. If you’re wondering what to wear to your holiday office party, you can upgrade your usual pieces in lavish fabrics like metallics and brocade. It's a foolproof way to achieve a glamorous look that is still appropriate for the office.
Cocktail holiday party
Pants, T.J. Maxx, $199
Nothing says rockstar status like a pair of real leather pants (or even leggings). They're a celebrity-style favorite and a splurge you can afford to indulge in. The best place to score real leather pieces are at outlets and off-price stores. Pants like these are also versatile; wear them with a fair isle sweater and the dreaded holiday sweater goes from homely to hot.
