As the holidays approach, it’s time to take your style game to the next level, and who better to guide you through it than Yolanda Okereke, the fashion director of the Style Magnate, Showmax’s original fashion reality TV show.
With her keen eye for fashion, Yolanda shares her top tips on how to stay stylish yet comfortable this holiday season.
1. Choose airy fabrics
The holidays are all about comfort and style, and Yolanda suggests going for lightweight fabrics. On those days you spend with family and friends, fabrics such as chiffon, cotton, silk and lace are perfect. These airy fabrics offer the best of both worlds: comfort and elegance, so you can transition effortlessly from holiday meals to festivities.
2. Accessories boldly
Statement jewelry is a must this season. Yolanda advises going all out with bold, statement pieces that transform any outfit from basic to beautiful. Whether it’s oversized earrings, stacked rings, statement necklaces or cool bracelets, accessories have the power to transform your outfit and make you stand out at any festive gathering.
3. Wear practical shoes
Comfort is essential during the holidays, and that means choosing the right footwear. Yolanda suggests opting for embellished flats or low wedges: stylish yet practical choices that will keep your feet happy during all your festive activities. This season they are the most comfortable.
4. Mix traditional and modern pieces
One of Yolanda’s signature style tips is mixing traditional and modern pieces. It’s a Nigerian style staple that brings the best of both worlds together, and it’s perfect for the holidays. Whether you pair a classic Ankara print with a contemporary blouse or wear a traditional headpiece with a modern dress, combining these styles will give your look an exciting and unique twist.
