Carla Rockmore delivers styling tips to look festive and chic this holiday season
Carla Rockmore, a style influencer known for her bold, maximalist approach to dressing, is sharing her best holiday styling tips with "Good Morning America" to deliver a festive dose of true fashion confidence.
"Remember, fashion is supposed to be fun -- so this holiday season, layer loud, color bold, and accessorize like you are celebrating you!" Rockmore told "GMA."
Below, we've broken down the three simple principles Rockmore shared to help you elevate your holiday wardrobe.
Tip 1: Let a hero piece lead
A single, standout accessory can define an entire look.
"Load her up -- put a necklace on over a necklace," Rockmore said. "If you are going to make a statement, make a statement."
Whether it's a sculptural earring or a crystal-laden necklace, allow the hero piece to take center stage. Keep the rest of the outfit intentionally restrained, so the focal point can deliver its full impact.
Tip 2: Use analogous color for elevated harmony
To break this down into simple terms, Rockmore said colors that sit next to each other on the rainbow usually work well together.
The effect is cohesive yet vibrant, offering a bold, polished alternative to traditional color blocking. It's an easy way to bring sophistication and visual interest to holiday dressing.
Tip 3: Reimagine black-on-black dressing
"When you are going black on black, keep it interesting with texture," Rockmore said.
As always, all-black will forever remain a fashion staple, but the key to keeping it modern is texture. Combining matte fabrics with high-shine materials introduces depth and dimension, transforming a monochromatic look into something quietly luxurious.
