Dress To Impress This Winter Break

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Lehigh chapter.

We know you struggled packing for winter break, we all did. We’re home for an entire month, and we don’t really know our plans yet. How many pairs of boots do I need? How many coats? Scarves? Will I need a nice dress? What about my slippers? Well, now that we’re home and our wardrobe is what it is, how do we dress for the various occasions that winter break presents? Here’s our guide to dressing cute over winter break, no matter what you’re up to.

Dinner with the Girls
 
Pair your favorite pair of jeans with a cute top and a blazer. You’ll look put together and classy, yet casual. We love these blazers from J.Crew and the cheaper alternative, Old Navy.

Date with the High School Sweetheart
 
Whether its movie night, or just a cozy night by the fire, we love big comfy sweaters. Pair it with leggings and boots for a finished but comfortable look. He’ll love the laid back style, and the sweaters is perfect for snuggling. Here is one of our favorites from Anthropologie, or for the price tag conscious college girl, Forever 21.

Family Christmas Party
 
Looking classy, appropriate, and cute is sometimes a challenge. Play it safe by pairing a simple, classy dress or skirt with a fun accessory. We love this black dress from H&M, and necklace from Francesca’s.

Ugly Christmas Sweater with Friends
 
We all have them, year after year. We love to make fun of ugly Christmas sweaters, it’s the perfect way to get in the holiday spirit. But, key word – ugly. This is a time to prove to everyone that you beat the odds and lost weight first semester. Wearing an ugly Christmas sweater can be tricky. We suggest pairing it with a festive high waisted skirt like this one from Urban Outfitters.

New Year’s Eve
 
The biggest night of the break poses a serious fashion challenge. Ring in the New Year in a fun sequin dress or skirt. Try this hot mini dress from Tobi, or pair this fun Victoria’s Secret skirt with a plain black top. For the more adventurous collegiette, try this long sleeved dress from H & M.
