The most festive time of the year is here and it is the perfect time for everyone to put on their colorful holiday outfits. While Christmas is the most fun time of the year, many women who love the alternative style may find it a bit problematic. Why? Well, because the theme of this season does not coincide with their normal style—the dark, gothic and emo style.

But hey, did you know that there are amazing ways on how you can come up with the perfect holiday outfit without sacrificing your style? Here are some of the ways how:

Put your track pants to good use.

Who says that you have to settle with bright colors just so you can pull off an amazing holiday outfit? For your information, you can stick to the colors that you are comfortable with—black, white and anything neutral! And one of the most versatile pieces would be no other than your track pants. You can make it holiday ready simply by pairing it with a structured top and finish off your look with a pair of black pointed pumps.

Go for your LBD.

As we have mentioned above, you do not have to deviate from your beloved dark colors when dressing up for the holidays. That’s why we recommend that you go for your favorite little black dress. But if you want it to become more alternative, you should try to avoid dressing it up and just go for the laidback and casual look. In fact, you should dress it don by pairing it with flats and a crossbody bag.

Go for the androgynous.

Hate looking too feminine? We hear you, girl! Lucky for you the androgynous trend has become quite popular for the past few years! If you are planning to wear a printed skirt, pair it with a tank top and wear a tuxedo-cut blazer over it. That will surely take your look into a whole new alternative style level.

Accessorize with a septum ring.

The simplest way to make sure that your alternative style will still be intact all throughout the holidays? Wear a septum ring to all of the holiday events that you have you have on your calendar. This ring comes in different sizes, shapes and styles. If you are feeling a bit fancy, go for one with a bling. If you wish to keep things pain-free, we recommend using a fake septum ring.

With these tips, you can definitely incorporate your alternative style into your holiday outfits. Now, you can dress up for the holidays without having to give up your personal style!
