The Art of Simple Holiday Style

Holiday Outfits should feel fun and special, especially because this seasonal glamour is a look limited to just a few weeks each year.  It can be daunting trying to find the right item to wear to holiday soirèes, but it doesn’t have to be! This season, holiday dressing is more about intention, adding a touch of shine or texture that has a festive feel and can be worn with items you already have in your closet.   If you are in a refined holiday mood, the on trend Fair Isle knit sweater is perfect for holiday functions, or honestly anything with a pretty bow on it like our Elsa Bow Cardigan.

When you want to make a statement, sequins or satin are always on point and appropriate for your Party Season plans. Often we find ourselves looking for a “cute top” but how about letting the bottom half set the tone by choosing a gorgeous, shimmering skirt or pants. Consider anchoring your outfit with a standout sparkly trouser (Hello Cadence Shimmer Stripe Jeans) or luxe high-shine skirt such as the Helas Skirt in beautiful blush pink for an elevated look and keep the rest clean & minimal! The best part about building your outfit around hero bottoms is it’s so easy to pair with your everyday wardrobe foundations.   We are leaning into styling refined staples like a silky button down, or a luxurious knitwear such as a crewneck sweater, turtleneck or cardigan.  Add a festive accessory like pearl drop earrings and finish with a plush, polished faux fur jacket for warmth and texture and just the right amount of elegant holiday sparkle.

Why Ralph Lauren Polo is trending again

There’s a reason Ralph Lauren Polo is having a major moment.  The brand’s signature classic American style, heritage design and aspirational quiet luxury has resonated with fashion lovers for decades.  With roots in timeless prep and understated elegance, its refined silhouettes and premium materials are timeless and represent not only a lifestyle, but a legacy that reflects how heritage meets modern relevance.

One of the most loved extensions of Ralph Lauren is their luxurious loungewear and pajama collection featuring soft, tactile fabrics like a buttery jersey to rich waffle knits.  These designs are not just practical, they feel intentional, chic and perfectly suited for holiday gifting.  The Polo aesthetic has enduring appeal, and is something you will wear now and love forever.  Think of luxury you can live in, blending comfort with sophistication, loungewear that is ideal for chilly winter nights, easy Sunday mornings or holiday entertaining.   The Homebody girls are living for the entire Polo lounge collection and looking forward to lounging in these luxe, cozy sets for our slow-paced moments this winter.  Whether you are throwing on the Henley Wide Leg Sleep Set or prefer a Short Sleeve & Short Set you will find these pieces ensure home comfort is also style savvy.

The Ski-Girl Obsession is here

Après-Ski used to be limited to chalets and ski lifts, but not anymore.  The Mountain-Core fashion trend goes way beyond slopeside now and you will see it on everyone from city-street girls to fashion editors.  Yep, this is no longer functional layers needed for warmth, it is now a refined cool wardrobe essential that marries cold-weather chic with a fashionable edge.  This winter resort aesthetic is all about elevated texture, rich neutrals and streamlined silhouettes that deliver cozy insulation and polish.  

New to the Homebody boutiques, but definitely not new to those who live for that cool Aspen Aesthetic is Alp N Rock, whose chalet collective has been ticking off all the boxes for almost twenty years.  Many in the Alpine community are already long-time fan faves of this prestigious collection. Founded in 2007 by Swiss Canadian designer Susanne Reich, Alp N Rock is a luxury apparel brand working to create positive change in the world. Inspired by European sport culture, alpine heritage and dressing with intentionality, their goal is to create clothing you can’t find anywhere else with a focus on unique design, unparalleled quality and an ethos of giving back. Better for your wardrobe and better for the world.  

We’re excited to introduce Alp N Rock and have hand-selected the ultimate Après Ski edit to bring a little glam to your everyday rotation.  The Goldie Mockneck Sweater is cozy comfort meets the best of apres ski. The Aiken Sweater in coffee is the ultimate retro ski sweater with sporty stripes and a much loved crewneck silhouette.  Your Après outfit will look so good this winter and just as good in the years to come.  Our other staff fave is Rory, a full zip classic cardigan with a full zip and an iconic ski-inspired applique.  

Whether you are layering a faux fur or puffer jacket with high rise denim or pairing tall boots, your Après Ski knit sweater and cozy ski hats and mittens, the Alpine Apres Ski style is a seasonal mood that works just as beautifully in the city as it does in the mountains.

This holiday season, our wardrobes are all about versatility, texture and elevated ease. 

It’s time for celebrating festive nights right through until New Year’s with a touch of sparkle styled with classic neutrals, then balanced by cozy, refined loungewear for slow mornings and family gatherings.  As the chilly weather settles in, our Alpine ski-inspired style will be having a fashion moment for a chalet chic vibe that feels just as at home in the city as it does mountainside.  These pieces will carry effortlessly into the new year, mixing glamour with comfort and polish with practicality.
