From plaid to velour, sequins and satin, silly season brings a lot of fun and texture when it comes to style. It’s the perfect excuse to get a little bit glam and go all out with your fashion.
Bold prints and heavy embellishment can feel intimidating. But they add so much personality to a look and can be a real stand our feature. The winter months can often be met with endless chunky knitwear and oversized coats. Yet, silly season is a time to have fun, play around with pattern and lean into styles and fabrics that may not necessarily work during the summer months.
