Your outerwear will be your go-to statement piece. If you’re looking to splurge on one item, go for a furry coat or jacket.

Choose one piece that will be the focus of your outfit and keep the rest more subdued. Don’t reach for a bold dress paired with in-your-face accessories. Rather, opt for one on-trend item, like a sheer dress with a nude slip, glamorous cape or shawl, or statement-making shoes, while keeping the rest of your fit simple.

Pink is going to be everyone’s best friends this winter. Think: pink eye shadow, pink liner and, of course, a pinky-red lip. You’ll also see a bunch of sparkle, especially for holiday. Sparkles are an easy way to get party ready. Just add a hint of sparkle around the eye, or even incorporate soft metallics into your look for a touch of sophistication.

When it comes to wearing red lipstick, let the color do the talking and keep the rest of the face simple. A neutral eye and a touch of blush allow your bold red lip to be the focus.

This season, all you need is to choose one focus—a red lip, metallic eye or sparkling stones around the eye—and keep the rest of the face simple. If these seem too bold for someone who shies away from makeup, don’t worry. You can simply opt for a subtle version of the look instead, like wearing a sheer red lip oil instead of cream color.
