Aimee Song is ready to redefine holiday party dressing.
In front of her seven million Instagram followers, the designer and influencer gets festive in Rabanne chainmail and Miu Miu sequins. Offline, her approach to party dress codes is a little different. “While Instagram highlights some of my more glamorous holiday looks, my everyday holiday wardrobe is rooted around cozy knits and warm layers and always comfy shoes,” Song tells Bazaar. “After I’m fully dressed up, I can’t wait to go home to wear my comfy pieces.”
As invitations for this year’s holiday parties roll in, Song is turning toward her self-described formula for comfortably chic holiday outfits: a combination of contrasting textures, personalized pieces, and a lot of high/low mixing and matching. Some of the pieces she’ll turn to come from her first capsule collection with Madewell—a lineup of 11 items ranging from silver foil painted wide-leg jeans to a cuddly sweater-and-skirt set in a dreamy shade of lavender. While Song’s Madewell collection does include a quintessentially holiday sequin dress, the remaining assortment of denim and knitwear reflects the sophisticated everyday sensibility that has made her a must-follow online. The pieces also reflect her year-end shopping philosophy. “When shopping for myself during the holidays, I prioritize pieces that seamlessly complement my existing wardrobe,” she explains. “Whatever I buy, I try to make sure I’m going to be able to style them in different ways, and be able to rewear them.”
Ahead, Song shares the Lucky 13 items completing her cozy holiday season, from the party pieces in her Madewell capsule collection to her winter essentials for winding down after the festivities.
“This is my favorite go-to bag for gym, mom stuff, and just life. It’s puffy, it’s cute, better than a canvas bag, and holds everything. Also, the puffiness makes it so cute to go with casual winter outfits.”
“These are so comfy and chic. I wear them inside the house and try to find similar options, so I can have all my guests wear these when they’re visiting. Honestly, other shearling slippers don’t even come close to this pair. It’s real shearling, so it’s worth the mini splurge. Also, they do last!”
“At this point, purple is a neutral color for me. I love a good purple moment, and this sweater is super soft and easygoing.”
“I don’t know Jake Arnold, but I want to be friends with him. The homes he creates are so warm, and I feel like he would be so warm. I love the way he layers his interiors, so if you’re in need of major interior inspiration, I highly recommend his book.”
“I love a good oversize coat that can be worn with chunky sweaters and dressy holiday outfits, like this one from Song of Style that gives ‘rich lady’ vibes.”
“I’m Korean, so naturally I’ve been double cleansing even before it was a thing and have tried countless cleansers. This combo from Dezi Skin is so soft, gentle, and really gets the makeup out without drying your skin. During the holiday season I’m wearing more makeup than usual, especially with all the parties and gatherings, so cleansing my skin with good products is a must.”
“It’s not just my skin that’s dry during winter, it’s also my hair. This hair oil keeps my flyaway at bay and keeps my hair hydrated and healthy. An added plus, it smells so good that I wish they’d make a candle or perfume.”
“The fit of these pants is SO good. We really worked hard on these for a year, and Madewell delivered. They go with anything from a simple white T-shirt and a blazer to a more festive top. If you want bang for your buck, you need to get these.”
“I thought all flat irons were created equal until I tried Mane’s flat iron. I love that it’s thin, so you can really get into the roots. (How come none of my other flat irons did this?!) I also like the temperature control so my hair doesn’t feel like it’s frying. And the cord is so long—which is perfect, especially when you have limited outlets. I take this with me when I’m traveling.”
“There’s something so elegant about patent heels, especially in slingback form. This one is currently on my wish list. It can be easily styled with denim, trousers, and dressy pieces.”
“I have winter trips coming up and have a pair of silver Moon Boots that I love. I want a colorful pair of them, and also a mini version to match with my son.”
“I’m not a one-fragrance type of girl. I like to wear different scents depending on my mood, and am always switching them out. This one feels very unisex—warm and woody.”
“This is my go-to oil, especially more so during colder months. It’s made with all natural ingredients, gentle for my sensitive skin, and feels so nourishing.”
