As the holidays approach, we're naturally reaching for silky, luxurious fabrics like satin and velvet, beautifully accented with pearls, sequins or a simple hint of sparkle.

But elevated style shouldn't just disappear after New Year's Day. This year, we are focusing on truly lasting, stylish pieces for our Evergreen Collection. These are beautiful building blocks you can wear now as a seasonal must-have and continue to effortlessly style for months, even years to come.

Our favourite way to invest in holiday style is through versatile matching sets. They look instantly polished together, but the real magic is in separating them!  An iconic holiday re-appearance every year is velvet, the fabric that delivers quiet luxury with its sumptuous soft, rich texture. You will want to have a look at the Hilma Black Velvet Pants and matching Hadley Tank by Velvet (a favourite brand here at Homebody) for an effortlessly opulent holiday vibe. Worn separately, pair the velvet pants with a silky button-down for cocktail hours, or even a crewneck sweater and sneakers for casual hours.  You can wear the Hadley Tank velvet tank with rich dark denim or a sequin skirt to quickly switch low-key luxe to evening elegance.

Another matching set we are obsessed with is the Rails Merida Burgundy Classic Track Stripe Pant in crepe with a luxurious satin finish paired together with the Leah Top, a sophisticated halter style flowy top designed with luxe satin crepe.  This is a match made in heaven for an effortless, fashion-forward look together and when worn separately, the style formulas increase dramatically.  

The Merida Pant with a classic tee and flip flops gives major casual style energy and the Leah top is a polished pairing with dark denim and heels for GNO.  It instantly becomes one of those “nice going out tops” you always want in your closet. 

A little black dress is a virtual lifetime essential. Our can't-miss new addition is the Isra Dress by Gentle Fawn. This simple satin slip dress stands out alone but works with almost any topper you own. When your vibe check is  Holiday Glam, layer under a faux fur jacket or a crisp blazer. And for year-round wear, throw it over a denim shirt with Frye boots, or layer a cozy sweatshirt on top & add sneakers for a pulled-together daytime look.

As we head into the holiday season, things that sparkle always catch our eye. This year, the sparkle trend aligns perfectly with our approach to effortless style..it's festive fashion now and wearable well into 2026. We are talking about elevated sparkle: sleek silhouettes, refined palettes and soft metallic tones for a polished look without the flash.  The good news is sequins are no longer limited to a few short weeks. We are loving their surprising versatility as they transition seamlessly from everyday casual to nighttime glam. Imagine dark denim with the Holloway Cardigan,  a sleeveless vest with tone on tone shimmer, the perfect stylish update for the day.  It moves seamlessly from desk to dinner styled with a black wide-leg silhouette pant.  The Toby Sequin Pant is another perfect pick for festive cocktails and to wear later in 2026 with a sweatshirt and sneakers for next-level casual chic.

With the upcoming month jammed with special seasonal events, it's definitely the time to invest in sparkling, party-perfect pieces.

If you're not wearing faux fur right now, you'll want to take the plunge soon! This outerwear piece is the ultimate style obsession, bringing a luxurious, It-girl worthy layer to every outfit.

This season, rich fabrics like satin, velvet, wool and faux fur are having major movements because they instantly elevate any look, making them ideal for building your holiday capsule.

The versatility of a faux fur coat is endless as it works around the clock with ease.  For an effortless daytime outfit check consider pairing with dark wide leg denim, boots and a cashmere knit for cool-girl weekend vibes.  When it's time to go glamorous high impact, it is the easiest and smartest investment piece to instantly take your sequins or satin 'fits to the next level.

This season, the Fair Isle sweater is being embraced everywhere from fashion runways to everyday style icons.  It has a traditional heritage feel while being completely ultra-stylish and  is another investment worthy piece with a history dating back as more of a cold weather essential.  It has stood the test of time and is today’s shining sweater star, where cozy meets elegant.

How are we styling today’s modern Fair Isle? It’s all about blending the traditional feel with contemporary silhouettes and interesting contrasts.  Versatility is key and we are loving a pullover or cardi worn over a white button down with wide leg denim or barrels and loafers for sophisticated daytime polish.  Or slip on under a leather jacket for that unexpected contrast giving off cool girl meets cozy comfort vibes!  Our other fave look with the Fair Isle is pairing a slightly oversized crew with something slinky like a satin midi slip dress (hello..Isra dress!) and boots or kitten heels..absolute 10/10!!!!

The Homebody Evergreen Edit is built on pieces designed to transcend seasons, and our curated Jenny Bird collection (available in-store at Bayview and online everywhere) beautifully compliments this fashion philosophy.  

Jenny Bird is one of Canada’s most recognized jewelry designers world-wide and is celebrated for her contemporary pieces that feel luxurious and often are statement making, yet can be worn effortlessly for everyday. Her modern designs are what you want to get for your own jewelry box as well as what you want to give as a truly fabulous gift.  For styling, consider Jenny Bird’s signature pieces for a gorgeous contrast with the rich textures of your holiday wear.  A chunky gold necklace like Dhani or the Loire offers a modern, sculptural feel when you are wearing anything velvet.  With your Fair Isle sweater, put on the Ola or Portia bangles or Lydia cuff bracelet and the Tome bold hoops. If your outfit consists of a satin LBD or slinky tank, stack with a delicate pendant necklace like the Sundra and a cuff on your arm.  

Your Jenny Bird style options will continue far beyond the holidays and this is where you will love them even more as they elevate your everyday time and again, providing a quiet, luxurious look to your denim and knit combos.  The ultimate Jenny Bird vibe we lean into is her bracelets and bangles to create the perfect stack to layer and love.  Mix and match different textures (bangles & chain link bracelets)  and tones (gold & silver) for a contemporary, cool customized wrist stack that completes your look as easily with tailored trousers and a blazer, as it does with a classic t-shirt and jeans mood.
