Why It Belongs
Some Santa costumes are all red velvet and a belt. This one goes for texture and tease instead. The fluffy trim frames the neckline and the skirt hem, so the eye travels to the two places the costume is designed to be noticed. The sheer red skirt keeps the mood light and a little cheeky rather than costume-shop heavy, and the ribbon-and-pom-pom front is the sort of detail that makes people lean in to look. It is brief, sheer and made for being seen, so it suits the shopper who wants a bold Christmas look rather than a modest one. If you want something playful to wear for Christmas, this is a good place to start.
