The holidays are here, and so are all the fun events that come with them: the parties, the dinners, the outdoor activities 鈥 the list goes on. The challenge isn鈥檛 finding what to do; it鈥檚 deciding what to wear.
香港六合彩图库资料 spoke with Miriam Pranschke, owner of Boro 鈥 a consignment shop near Eastern Market that offers modern and vintage designer clothing and accessories 鈥 to help us help you.听
Here, Pranschke has styled outfits using products from her shop, to help you put together your own looks. 鈥淚鈥檓 kind of playing off of a 鈥90s minimalist [vibe], but still a little avant-garde to make it a little bit funky,鈥 she says. 鈥淚 think people want to start feeling like they鈥檙e putting some artistry back into their outfits again, because we haven鈥檛 been able to for so long.鈥听
Below, Pranschke shares outfit inspiration for the holiday season.听
A Detroit Symphony Orchestra Show听 听
鈥淪ince you tend to be a little bit more dressed up for this type of event, I was thinking more expressive but still just a little edgy,鈥 Pranschke says. Throw on a chunky sweater over a dress, for a snazzy look that will keep you cozy. Add a layered necklace and cool shoulder bag to complete the outfit. 听
The Family Holiday Dinner听 听
鈥淭his is a place you can be a bit more extravagant since you鈥檙e at home,鈥 Pranschke says. 鈥淵ou鈥檙e not having to worry about being cold, and we鈥檙e trying to get people to push back from wearing super simple outfits.鈥 So, wear something sparkly or poofy, throw on a statement piece of jewelry, and be the best dressed at the table.听
The Office Holiday Party听
You don鈥檛 have to throw on an ugly holiday sweater or stick to the traditional red and green color scheme. Instead, Pranschke suggests mixing patterns; choosing fun accessories; and opting for rich, jewel-toned variations of the usual holiday shades. You can also experiment with textures, such as by pairing a tweed piece with a silk one.
Pro tip:听When mixing patterns, Pranschke recommends keeping some elements consistent. So, choose patterns that are similar in either size or shape.
Wild Lights at the Detroit Zoo听 听
Pranschke suggests wearing a metallic item that pops against the millions of LED lights, whether that be a top, a pair of pants, a statement earring, or even a hat. And, of course, bundle up as you see fit.听
Ice Skating at Campus Martius听
While this is more of an athletic activity, Pranschke says听you can still go for听a fashionable yet functional look. She听was inspired by these white skates to play听with lighter, more tonal colors. If you want听to stick to a simpler听base outfit, wear fun outerwear (e.g., a bright colored coat or a chic felted wool hat). Be sure to layer up underneath with a bodysuit, leggings or tights, and thick wool or cashmere socks.
