For everyone else, various reports shed light on the most popular fashion pieces and accessories for the festive season, from sequin tops and backless dresses to bows and silver boots. All of which makes for a wardrobe that won't go unnoticed this holiday season.
From red dresses to backless styles
It's no secret that dresses are among the most sought-after pieces for the holidays, but certain cuts stand out in particular this year. According to LTK, which analysed the most sought-after outfit ideas on its platform by French users, it's red dresses that seem to be getting all the love this year, with an impressive +1,900 per cent increase in searches over the month of November. These are closely followed by knitted dresses (+1,300 per cent) and backless evening dresses (+1,200 per cent).
When it comes to accessories, comfort seems to be the watchword, with a +4,900 per cent increase in searches for flat boots, although heeled boots are also on the agenda (+1,000 per cent).
Sequins still ride high
Often singled out for their environmental impact, sequins are considered highly polluting, but they're nonetheless proving to be a must-have for a holiday season that's going all out on shimmer and shine. Worldwide, searches for silver maxi skirts rose by +82 per cent on Google during November, according to the latest insights report by the fashion search engine Stylight. The same is true for sequin tops (+20 per cent of clicks on Stylight during November), as well as for silver knee-high boots (+43 per cent Google searches).
