For holiday dressing inspiration, L'OFFICIEL refers back to our favorite vintage looks from decades past.

<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/gen-z-y2k-millennial-90s-fashion-nostalgia" target="_blank">Nostalgia</a> has been a coping mechanism we&#39;ve all been employing to get through this year, and wistful thinking has been even more prominent as we enter our first <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/luxury-holiday-gifts-women" target="_blank">holiday</a>&nbsp;season in pandemic-induced isolation. While <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/influential-fashion-families-hermes-fendi" target="_blank">family</a> celebrations and large gatherings will have to be put on hold, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/sexy-shoes-fall-shopping-trend" target="_blank">dressing up</a>&mdash;even if just for yourself&mdash;is something we can get behind. To help gather some inspiration for your holiday look, L&#39;OFFICIEL digs into the archives for festive fashion inspiration that&#39;s just as timeless today.

Channel the&nbsp;season&#39;s classic color palette by dressing in Christmas <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/best-red-lipstick-skin-under-tone" target="_blank">red</a> from head to toe&mdash;whether in eye-catching eveningwear at a small holiday party&nbsp;or bright <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/dior-chez-moi-capsule-quarantine" target="_blank">loungewear</a> for family Zoom calls.

Hints of Fur

When <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/how-to-wear-turtleneck-celebrities-fall" target="_blank">layering</a> up for a cold <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/what-to-wear-winter-solstice-designer-runway-fendi-balmain-marc-jacobs" target="_blank">winter</a> day, there&#39;s nothing cozier than fur. Whether you prefer to go natural or faux, make your holiday look soft to the touch with fur-trimmed pieces or plush accessories.

Tie a Bow

More than just the finishing touch to a gift, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/fall-2020-trends-fashion-week" target="_blank">bows</a> are a charming accent to any outfit. Stay subtle with a bit of grosgrain <a href="https://www.lofficiel.at/en/Business/beyond-the-ribbon-how-fashion-takes-responsibility-for-gender-equality" target="_blank">ribbon</a> or make a statement with a structured maxi bow.

Baroque Aesthetics

Opportunities to dress up this year have been few and far between, so channel <a href="https://www.lofficielmalaysia.com/beauty/luxury-fashion-brands-debut-beauty-world-lipsticks" target="_blank">extravagance</a> in even the smallest of details. Bring out your inner <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop%20culture/similarities-between-meghan-markle-princess-diana-royal-family" target="_blank">royalty</a> with intricate lace, ornate beading, and luxe textiles.

Shine Bright

On a similar note, use the holidays as an excuse to&nbsp;shine with bountiful <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/new-years-eve-outfit-ideas" target="_blank">sequins</a>, rhinestone embellishments, and glimmering metallics.

Stacked Gems

As we celebrate the end of this whirlwind of a year, give in to your proclivity for maximalism by layering on accessories with rich <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/iconic-female-jewelry-designers-coco-chanel-Jeanne-Toussaint" target="_blank">jewel</a> tones&mdash;sapphire blues, ruby reds, and emerald greens.
