Kourtney Kardashian Rocks an Ugly Christmas Sweater While Toy Shopping

Mrs. Claus is coming to town!

On Thursday afternoon, Kourtney Kardashian was feeling the Christmas spirit in some seriously festive attire while shopping for toys in Los Angeles.

During her hunt for presents, the reality star proudly rocked an ugly Christmas sweater, embroidered with a tranquil holiday home that featured a fireplace hung with stockings and an oversized wreath. The red statement pullover was the epitome of holiday cheer, especially when paired with a Santa hat and candy cane striped socks.

The mom of three—who took to her Instagram stories to share various snaps of her look along with family friend Harry Hudson—paired the holiday-inspired pieces with cool street style statement-makers.

Anna Camp Was Wearing This “Ratty” Outfit When She Got Engaged to Skylar Astin

Anna Camp and Skylar Astin’s love story has looked picture perfect (see what I did there?) but the Pitch Perfect 3 star says one thing was a little off when her now-husband proposed: her outfit.

Camp stopped by Dirty Laundry with InStyle Editor-in-Chief Laura Brown and dished on the “not fancy at all” ensemble she was wearing when Astin popped the question: A graphic tee that used to be his. “I got engaged wearing this shirt,” she tells Brown in the video at top, showing it off.

“Were you wearing only that shirt?” Brown asks. “I wish! No, it’s not that sexy of a story,” the actress explains. “We were in Hawaii and I didn’t know I was going to get proposed to. And he said, ‘Let’s just get up in the morning and go get coffee.’ And so I said, ‘Well should I change? You know, I’m wearing this like ratty T-shirt that you gave me.’ And he said, ‘No, I love you in this shirt.’” Aww.

Fashion tips for Christmas party season

Fashion tips for Christmas party season

According to the lighthearted survey by department store David Jones, 45 per cent of fashion mishaps witnessed are tacky Christmas-themed accessories or outfits, and 38 per cent involve guests ending up barefoot. David Jones womenswear buying manager Teneille Ferguson said it was important to stick to a dress code and make an effort if the occasion called for it.

“People struggling to walk in heels or, even worse, carrying them is never a good look,” she said. Flats and embellished sandals and slides are having a moment, so it’s the perfect excuse to avoid heels if they’re not going to stand the test of time at a function. “Being comfortable in what you’re wearing is ­always the safest bet to avoid a fashion faux pas. Avoiding gimmicky accessories is also key.” Ms Ferguson said the ­festive season was a great time to wear something a ­little different and more ­adventurous than your usual style called for. “For a work Christmas party, wearing something sophisticated and not baring too much skin would be advised,” she said. “For a barbecue or something more informal — a pretty floral dress with sandals would be perfect, as would an off-the-shoulder top or cami with jeans.”

Etiquette expert Anna Musson said the most common festive season faux pas include giving gag gifts, ­re-gifting without checking for cards, and gifts from the two-dollar shop. “Never arrive empty-handed, never let gift givers know you don’t like their gift, don’t avoid saying ‘Merry Christmas’. It is Christmas so embrace it. And the big no-no, being noticeably drunk at the office Christmas party,” she said.

Party-Ready Shoes to Kick-Start Your Holiday Wardrobe

Party-Ready Shoes to Kick-Start Your Holiday Wardrobe

When it comes to your holiday party–circuit wardrobe, building your look from the ground up has surprising sartorial benefits—not to mention the leg-lengthening advantages of certain vertiginous stilettos. Festive shoes are about sophistication, not snobbiness, and the most refreshing options for this season play with color, embellishment, and texture, injecting new life into the most tried-and-true party frock. 

Better still, you’ll be wearing the more versatile among these well after the holidays. Case in point? In his new capsule collection for Salvatore Ferragamo, Colombian-born designer Edgardo Osorio’s reinterpretations of some of the brand’s iconic models have resulted in swoon-worthy, party-ready shoes. His black-and-white polka-dot mid-heel sandals are brimming with possibilities for all seasons.

If comfort is a main concern (which it should be—there is nothing less sexy than the post-party hobble caused by blistered feet screaming for relief), there are plenty of options that allow for a sense of physical freedom. From high-wattage crystal toe embellishment to glimmering pom-poms and ornately decorated buckles, the appeal of eveningwear flats is all in the details.

Whether you prefer stilettos or platforms, classic styles or playful details like disco-ball encrustations and feather-and-ribbon ankle ties, the most festive shoes this season are above all ready to party. Shop our favorite pairs above and get ready to dance up a storm.

The One Trend You, Your Boyfriend, and Every Fashion Girl Will Wear in 2018

The One Trend You, Your Boyfriend, and Every Fashion Girl Will Wear in 2018

Sure we can't get enough of dramatic sleeves, patent leather pieces, and white boots. But there's one 2018 trend that's really transforming the fashion industry. According to The Annual Topics and Trends Report by Facebook IQ, the conversation around androgynous or unisex clothing is growing rapidly on social media. No surprise, since so many genderless brands are making headlines and mixing things up on the runway.

I have to admit, I (a legit girlie girl) even tried on a top I recently bought from the men's department for my boyfriend. And I loved the way it looked on me so much, I contemplated keeping it for myself. Sure, I wore it as a mini dress, but still the unisex trend is one that we will all wear in some shape or form during 2018.

Look at the biggest runway shows, and you'll see feminine labels already mixing in menswear-inspired pieces all over the place—like masculine plaid suits, over-sized hoodies, and slouchy sweatpants. The boys are also borrowing from the girls with long tunics that have dress-like silhouettes, and we'll never forget about the male romper RompHims.
