Winter Formal Style Guide

Winter Formal Style Guide

Wondering what the festive queers are wearing to their holiday parties this season? Check out these sapphic fashions from the stylish city of Austin, TX. Enjoy our winter style guide for lgbtq+ women and sapphics.

These looks were captured at last year’s all-sapphics Winter Formal! We can’t wait to see what styles you rock around the tree at this December’s event, get details on the next Lez Dance here.

What’s perpetually in season this winter? Sparkles. Velvet. Snowflake patterns.

There are many options to choose from for your color palette. Pick a base color that works well with your skin tone and makes you feel like a gift! With any of these colors, all shades are a go!

Blue - White - Silver - Green - Gold - Red

And don’t forget; it’s the most glittering time of the year and you should sparkle too! Fabrics that reflect light, keep you looking merry AND bright.

Great style choices for this season’s events include warm, inviting textiles like velvet, chenille, and fur. Textured fabrics like corduroy are a perfect choice for pants or skirts. Pair them with a not-so-ugly sweater vest (argyle perhaps) for a classic look.

Dreaming of mountains and a white Christmas? Bring the lodge look to winter formal with plaid and tartan patterns in red or green. Solidify your Ice Queer look with snowflake and flurry patterns inspired by the winter wonderland you’ve been dreaming of.
