Find a luxe ensemble for every occasion.

I like to think of the holidays as a brief annual life upgrade. If your regular day-to-day routine is Life 1.0, the holidays are Life 2.0: A few weeks of fancy events, endless parties, and dressing up alongside people you love. And it’s the perfect time of year to really play with fashion, from bold prints for luxe dinner parties to sequins galore for New Year’s Eve.

This year, turn to MARCIANO by Guess for your Life 2.0 pieces. Inspired by Italy’s “La Dolce Vita” years in the 1960s, it’s a line meant to infuse a little luxury into every lifestyle. Leather leggings that say, “Oh, I just arrived at this dinner by private jet.” A pearl sweater that winks, “My grandmother was a Contessa.” Pop these pieces into your existing rotation, and the looks that emerge will be so effortless, you’ll think you’ve always owned a yacht on the Amalfi Coast. They also make excellent gifts for anyone whose closet needs a little extra oomph.

Ahead, discover the top MARCIANO by Guess looks of the season, and get ready to turn heads in the best way.

MARCIANO by Guess

Isla Sequin Dress

$330

For a loved one who sparkles brighter than the Times Square ball, gift this deliciously sequined New Year’s Eve dress. The short skirt will show off their legs on the dance floor, while the long sleeves balance the look with a little more coverage.

Boldly Blooming Top

$140

Style this dramatically floral patterned top with its matching skirt for a fresh-off-the-runway look while out to dinner, or dress it down with a pair of baggy jeans for an afternoon stroll through the city with an old friend.

Boldly Blooming Gathered Skirt

$140

This gathered skirt would look stunning with a loose sweater and boots for a Sunday brunch with the family. But if the florals and frills feel a little too femme for you, ground the look with a leather moto or deep green army jacket.

Evita Feather Bandage Dress

$330

At your friend's annual dress-up dinner — think candlelit table, handwritten place cards, and warm jazz on the turntable — be the most ravishing version of yourself in this feathered bandage dress.

This pearl-covered sweater will be a hit with the in-laws (or future in-laws). With a look that’s both stylish and demure, nothing says you’re more deserving of Grandma’s vintage ring.

Pair these leggings with a vintage tee and an oversized blazer for a night out with friends — or gift them to a new mom pal who’s really craving a night out with friends in a look that delivers maximum impact with minimal effort.
