Beyond parties, family outings, and festive gatherings lies a quiet nostalgia. Imagine the cosy feeling of being huddled up with your cousins or siblings around the Christmas tree back at the home which everyone inevitably returns to each holiday season. A Christmas carol hums in the background; the grandparents are tellinh familiar tales—some with a little fairytale magic thrown in. Likewise, this season’s pieces recall the same whimsy that the holidays inevitably bring.
Effortlessly captured in pieces meant to dazzle and have you linger on, we’re seeing lace, bows, sequins, and a little sparkle thrown into the mix. Loewe introduced a playful fur-covered shoe, while Prada showcased a cherry-red sac bag reminiscent of Santa’s gift-filled sack slung casually over his shoulder. Simone Rocha leaned fully into festive fantasy with a rabbit-shaped fur bag that’s reminiscent of a soft toy we once requested for during the holidays.
Bows, in particular, had their moment this season, from the dramatic oversized detail on Shushu/Tong’s dress to delicate gold earrings by Miu Miu, Ferragamo’s dazzling ring, and Valentino’s playful red shoes. Sequins and metallics, those perennial markers of celebration, shimmered everywhere as well. From Acne Studios’ iconic multipocket bag reimagined in crinkled gold to Louis Vuitton’s star-shaped silver coin purse, whimsical enough to double as a tree topper.
As the year winds down and schedules fill with gatherings and activities, let these pieces guide you back to all the playfulness and enchantment the holidays are meant to bring, without the stress of picking out a good gift for you fashion fiend friend.
Below, explore Vogue Singapore’s curation of enchanting pieces that bring back the whimsy of the holidays.
