1. A simple selection

Achieving the perfect Christmas outfit doesn't require an extensive list of items; in fact, this one only needs three pieces. J.Crew's Crepe feather-trim shift dress puts a twist on a classic by adding faux feathers along the bottom hem of a simple shift dress. The feathers add movement and visual interest without being too bold. Shop the style in two colors in women's sizes XXS to 3X.

Pair the dress with the Brit Kitten Heel Mule from Sam Edelman, available in ten sumptuous colors in women's shoe sizes 5 to 12. We love the Deep Sapphire Velvet color that adds a bit of texture along with glitzy shine with its rhinestone buckle. Finish the look with the Pearl drop earrings from J.Crew, which are distinctive without being overpowering.
