For holiday dressing inspiration, L'OFFICIEL refers back to our favorite vintage looks from decades past.

Over the last decade, the growing interest in archival clothing has changed the fashion landscape, on and off the red carpet. And after more than a century in the industry, L'OFFICIEL has seen its fair of iconic style moments. As the holidays often lead one to reflect on not only the past year but years passed, it's important to find the joy.&nbsp;While <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/influential-fashion-families-hermes-fendi" target="_blank" rel="noopener">family</a> celebrations and large gatherings can be overwhelming for some, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/sexy-shoes-fall-shopping-trend" target="_blank" rel="noopener">dressing up</a>&mdash;even if just for yourself&mdash;is something we can all get behind. To help gather some inspiration for your holiday look, L'OFFICIEL digs into the archives for festive fashion inspiration that's just as timeless today.

When <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/how-to-wear-turtleneck-celebrities-fall" target="_blank">layering</a> up for a cold <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/what-to-wear-winter-solstice-designer-runway-fendi-balmain-marc-jacobs" target="_blank">winter</a> day, there&#39;s nothing cozier than fur. Whether you prefer to go natural or faux, make your holiday look soft to the touch with fur-trimmed pieces or plush accessories.

Tie a Bow

More than just the finishing touch to a gift, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/fall-2020-trends-fashion-week" target="_blank">bows</a> are a charming accent to any outfit. Stay subtle with a bit of grosgrain <a href="https://www.lofficiel.at/en/Business/beyond-the-ribbon-how-fashion-takes-responsibility-for-gender-equality" target="_blank">ribbon</a> or make a statement with a structured maxi bow.
