Pantone has proclaimed 2019 the year of “living coral,” described by the color experts as “an animated, life-affirming shade of orange, with golden undertones.” To help you bring the vibrant, optimistic shade into your wardrobe, here are a few easy-to-copy looks from your friends at Fashion Fabrics Club.

Scarf

Starting with an accessory is an easy and “safe” way to try out the trend. Take one of your go-to looks, say a striped dress or T-shirt and jeans, and toss on a light, coral-colored gauze scarf for a bright hit of color.

Skirt

Though the color is quite striking and dramatic, it can still go to a romantic place when done up in the right pieces. Here, the coral chiffon skirt feels more feminine than fierce, plus the addition of the lace top makes things incredibly elegant (which can be a hard balance to strike when donning such a vibrant shade).

Blazer

You can even bring the year’s color into your office look—it’s all about picking the right pieces and keeping things polished, like this little linen blazer. The neutral tone-on-tone outfit is the perfect foundation for the coral blazer, letting the bright color shine as the look’s focal point without being too bold.

Sweater

Having a coral sweater in the rotation makes it easy to throw together a chic weekend ensemble. Wear it just as you would a neutral sweater: with jeans, skirts, under vests, over a crisp button up—the options are nearly endless.

New Year’s Eve is all about the sparkle. Whether you’re having a quiet night in watching the ball drop or headed out to cheers midnight with 100 of your closest friends, Fashion Fabrics Club has just the right look for the occasion.

Fur & Sequins

If you’re unsure of the dress code, this look—teetering the line between dressy and casual—is your effortless answer. The sequin wide-leg pants bring the glamour (without compromising mobility), while the faux fur top keeps things relaxed.

Graphic T + Pencil Skirt

Staying in this NYE? That doesn’t mean you can’t still dress up! A New Year’s Eve house party is all about striking the right balance between fancy and casual. This graphic T and sequin pencil skirt ensemble hits all the right notes.

Blazer + Sequin Skirt

This versatile look—appropriate for everything from brunch to cheers-ing midnight—is the kind of outfit you find yourself reaching for year after year. The tailored blazer keeps things polished and professional while the sequin skirt brings in just the right amount of festive playfulness.

Sequin Top + Leggings

Looking festive doesn’t automatically mean compromising on comfort. Take this look for example, a slouchy sequin blouse makes all the difference. Suddenly, the simple pairing of leggings and a sweater becomes dressed up enough to be party ready.

Chances are you have about a million holiday parties to attend this week. It’s easy to fall back on the traditional LBD, but there are options that are just as effortless and feel much more festive that will earn you major style cred. Check out Fashion Fabrics Club’s roundup of festive looks you can copy for all your holiday party hopping.

Velvet

The beauty of velvet is that it’s not only super festive in its looks, but also incredibly comfortable in its feel. Super soft with just the right amount of stretch, it feels more like a nightgown than a cocktail dress and when it’s turned out in holiday jewel tones like emerald green or ruby red, it’s the perfect holiday party pick.

Plaid

Here’s a holiday-ready dress that can go seamlessly from a family get together to after-dinner cocktails with friends. The Christmas-y color scheme in the red-and-green plaid offers a festive feel in a sophisticated way that can easily be dressed up (with heels and a statement necklace) or down (paired with boots and a leather moto jacket).

Lace

Lace makes everything feel more polished and dressed up, while at the same time having a look-at-me impact that warrants a double take. If you really want to get noticed, opt for a festive shade in a bright hue like this brilliant red lace number.

Satin

If there’s a chance of running into an ex, this satin tuxedo dress is what you need to wear. The va-va-voom neckline is ultra-flattering for nearly any body type while the tailored construction slims and flatters in all the right places. Insider tip: If you don’t feel comfortable showing so much skin, you can easy add a slip dress underneath.

Tulle

If you’re looking to add a versatile piece to your party-ready wardrobe, a white tulle skirt is just the thing. You can wear it multiple times in one weekend and have completely different looks depending on what you pair it with. Some ideas: velvet wrap top, silk blouse, flannel button up, lace crop top…the options are limitless.

Staying warm AND chic in winter’s bitter temperatures can seem like an impossible feat. Luckily, Fashion Fabrics Club has the answer: faux fur. Here are some fun ways to incorporate the fuzzy trend into your look right now.

Faux Cheetah Jacket

If you’re looking to add a new staple to your wardrobe, a faux fur cheetah print jacket is the way to go. The print adds a pop to looks while at the same time pairing like a neutral, making it an easy addition to the go-to rotation.

Faux Fur Pink Jacket

For something a little more whimsical, go with a soft shade like pink or mauve. It has a beautiful way of giving polished looks a bit of edge without compromising on feminine appeal.

Faux Fur Vest

A faux fur vest allows you to play to the fur trend without having to deal with all the bulk of a full overcoat. Faux fur vests are also an instant way to upgrade a simple outfit, like go-to jeans and a T, into a stand out look.

Faux Fur Scarf

A faux fur accent can be just as statement making as a full piece, especially when worn in unexpected ways. Take this adorable look for example, the asymmetrical belting of the faux fur scarf gives the otherwise basic outfit major interest.

It’s easy to get stuck in a style rut when the temperatures turn bitter and the sidewalks turn to slush. Luckily, Fashion Fabrics Club has a few easy looks that’ll keep you chic all winter long. The key is all about embracing those winter blues.

Blue Velvet Suit

If your work has a business-casual dress code, it can be hard to come up with new, inventive looks that feel seasonally relevant but are also office appropriate. We’ve got just the thing. Swap the traditional suiting fabric for sophisticated blue velvet. Not only is this look super on-trend but it is also incredibly comfortable and manages to fit even the dressiest of occasions.

Blue Wool Jacket

It’s easy and normal to fall back on a dark color palette in the winter, but that’s a direct ticket to wardrobe boredom. An easy way to shake things up is by adding a playful color into your outerwear collection. This beautiful light blue wool cocoon coat is just the thing.

Blue Chiffon Skirt

Here’s a look that can really go the distance. The neutral colored sweater is the perfect complement to the chiffon skirt’s pop of bright blue, keeping things elegant while still being fun and cheery (i.e. party-season perfect). Simply swap the heels for tights and booties if you need to battle the wintry elements.

Blue Sweater

Jeans and a sweater is an easy and obvious go-to in the winter, but instead of falling back on the usual suspects (creams, grays, tans), opting for a fun color like light blue keeps things much more playful. Pair a blue sweater knit with a pair of black skinnies and black booties for an everyday look that’s as effortless as it is chic.

December is filled with social responsibilities: family get-togethers, holiday celebrations, work parties, and a million other festive moments. With all the stress and of gift giving, RSVPing to every invite, and hosting a killer event, your look shouldn’t be something you fret over. And that’s where Fashion Fabrics Club comes in!

Work Party

For a look that can go straight from boardroom to bar while keeping you in complete comfort, this neutral number is just the ticket. The luxurious fabrics—the soft cashmere sweater with the blush chiffon skirt—keeps you looking sophisticated and elegant while feeling like you’re in your jammies.

Tree Trimming

Christmas tree farms make great Instagram backdrops, but they’re not the easiest places to navigate. To ensure a ‘grammable look without getting stuck in mud or pine needles, opt for a cute, farmhouse-inspired style. This buffalo check flannel shirtdress in just the thing. (Don’t forget the boots, they’re kind of necessary.)

Present Exchanging

The day starts just before the sun comes up, wrapping paper strewn about everywhere. Then, just as things start to wind down, it’s time to do it all over again at the in-laws. Sound familiar? We hear you. Our pick for an endless day of cheer is this stretchy velvet dress. It’s incredibly comfy, festive, and appropriate for nearly any dress code.

Ringing in midnight

Whether you’re planning a big night out on the town or staying in to ring in the New Year, a little sparkle is definitely in order. And as luck would have it, we have just the piece that could work for either occasion: a pair of sequin skinnies. Dress them up with a silk blouse and blazer, or go casual with a relaxed sweater knit.

Start with a white cotton T, pair with white cotton twill wide legs and top it off with a full-length white cotton sweater vest.

Sweaterdress

A white sweaterdress is one of those versatile pieces every wardrobe needs. Pair it with leggings and boots and it’s perfect for a casual night in, or wear it with tights and high boots or heels for a dressy night on the town.

Comfy, cute, cozy, and festive—Fashion Fabrics Club has the perfect style recipe for your upcoming Thanksgiving festivities. Whatever your plans may entail, you’re sure to find a look that’s just right for you.

Crushed Velvet Slip Dress

A little edgy and a lot comfy, this is the perfect look for a laid-back Thanksgiving dinner or fun Friendsgiving feast. The crushed velvet feels at the same time elegant and easygoing and the addition of the long sleeved T underneath takes things to an even more relaxed level. It’s that quintessential not-trying-too-hard look that is so hard to find, and so easy to wear.

Velvet Pants

If your plans involve a lot of running around—from their family dinner to yours, schlepping around a pile of kids along the way…you know the deal—donning a fancy frock would only add another layer of frustration to the mix. Instead, opt for a festive pair of skinnies—these maroon velvet pants have the dressed up appeal of skirts but give you the kind of carefree mobility you need. Just add a white turtleneck, sensible flats and a statement necklace and you’re good to go.

Cashmere Sweaterdress

A traditional sweaterdress would fit the bill for a Thanksgiving feast (PJ-like comfort, no pesky waistband to worry about, just the right amount of dressy), but if you’re looking to make an impression, adding a novelty detail to the mix is just the ticket. Take this look here, the cashmere sweaterdress takes on a much trendier look with the simple addition of a pleated chiffon bottom.

Pleated Midi Skirt

This darling little look is perfect for nearly anything on the agenda, making it a failsafe when the dress code remains elusive. The cotton sweater combined with pleated chiffon skirt is the just-right mix of casual and dressy that works in nearly any context. Simple swap the heels for booties if the weather takes a turn for the worse.

Hibernation season is nearly upon us, and cozying up in soft knits is the best way to battle the cold while still staying chic. Fashion Fabrics Club has rounded up a few key knit pieces that will seriously upgrade your winter wardrobe.

Chevron Maxi Skirt

An effortless look with a lot of impact isn’t an easy find, but this chevron jersey knit skirt and cardigan ensemble hits all the marks. The chevron pattern is surprisingly flattering while the cardi adds a layer of button-up sophistication to even out the busy chevron print. To heighten the impact more, add pops of color in the form of accessories like this chic look shown here.

Thermal Sweater

Thermal knits are a winter wardrobe must; they’re lightweight while still being able to provide incredible warmth. While they’re usually found in underlayers and loungewear, this casual knit has found its way into the everyday fashion realm, adding a fun texture play to otherwise basic looks.

Sweaterdress

When all you want to do is say in your PJs but the day requires a put-together look, the sweaterdress is your easy-chic answer. The soft sweater knit fabric keeps you feeling like you’re in your favorite loungewear and it’s an instant no-thought-required look. For colder says, add tights and a scarf and you’re good to go.

Ribbed Skirt

We don’t always play favorites, but this look is at the very top of our most-loved list. It has all the comfort you crave and all the sophisticated chic that makes a look double-take worthy. The key to this look is double fold: color and fabric. The cream-on-cream tonal look feels just right for winter and the combination of flowy chiffon on top keeps the thick cream ribbed knit on the bottom from feeling too heavy.

Fashion Fabrics Club does a roundup of stylish raincoats to get your through wet weather season. Whether you’re looking for something classic or contemporary, you’re sure to find something that fits the bill.

Parka

Parkas are especially great for colder days thanks to their fur trim and lining. In a classic olive green, it offers a little hit of color while still being incredibly pairable, as it tends to act like a neutral. This is the kind of coat you you’ll tend to fall back on again and again, year after year.

Trench

The trench is a year-round closet essential. The great thing about this piece (well, there’s more than one thing) is that it will never go out of style and no matter what season it is, it’s appropriate. As cute with cozy layers when the wind is blowing as with little sundresses for light summer storms. For the most traditional look, go for a versatile tan.

Poncho

Ok, we’ll admit it, the poncho isn’t the first thing that comes to mind when you’re thinking of fashionable rainwear. However, just like the fanny pack, this uber functional piece is making a major splash right now, especially amongst the chic travelers of the world. It’s easy to pack up and toss in a suitcase and fits over any look, even the heaviest of winter sweaters.

Bomber

For those could-go-either-way weather days, donning a full-on raincoat feels…unnecessary. Especially if the clouds end up clearing. For these days, a nylon bomber jacket is a good pick. It’s water resistant by nature, and it’s super cute and not at all out of place even if the day turns out to be bright and sunny. (Just don’t forget to bring an umbrella to protect the hair…just in case.)

Tina Belcher of Bob’s Burgers

An aqua blue cotton T and black polyester skirt is Tina’s signature look, and happens to be an incredibly comfortable and easy look to copy for a costume party. Make sure you wear knee-high socks, that iconic yellow barrette she always sports, thick glasses and a pair of sneakers.
