Winter is basically here, believe it or not, which means the holidays (and all the events that come with them) are sneaking up on us fast. Since we all can't afford a new outfit for each endeavor, look no further than a closet staple that will guide you through the season: stylish tops. Our favorite item to shop for, an amazing top can create a mood, make a statement, boost confidence, and so much more.
Specifically, we can't help but daydream about pretty holiday tops—hello satin and velvet. Holiday parties are a time for shining bright and getting in the spirit with tops that won’t go unnoticed. Forget the ugly sweater and go with a put-together pieces that'll last season after season. A unique top and black jeans, for example, is an easy outfit combo that never fails for going from work to dinner, or weekday to weekend.
Stocking up on holiday essentials doesn't have to be a chore. To prep your closet for parties you'll soon be attending, we've rounded up the prettiest holiday tops to shop before the season starts.
