Shake things up this holiday season and part the sea of cleavage-baring, body-con minidresses in one of these unconventional outfits. Whether you top your outfit with a cape, go for a plunging tuxedo jacket or pair a demure minidress with over-the-knee boots, take a style risk and you’ll stand out from the pack.

Caped Crusader

Instead of a sequined minidress try an unexpected strapless jumpsuit topped with a wool cape. Finish with high-wattage metallic heels.

Culotte-d Cream

Stand out in structured, cream culottes. Bring them into festive territory with statement platform heels and a sleek leather tank top.

Victorian Vixen

Instead of a typical little black dress, try a demure version like this high-necked style. Add a dose of sex appeal by way of these over-the-knee boots.

Tuxedo With A Twist

Opt for a slick navy tuxedo (minus the undershirt) and apply double-stick tape liberally. Finish with polished patent sandals.
