Closed Punches Up Metallics and Colored Denim For Winter 2012

In contrast to Closed‘s Fall 2012 collection, which incorporates subdued splashes of colored denim and separates, the Winter collection kicks it up a notch with bolder and brighter blues, magenta (an emerging trendy color right now), softened greens and purples, which dot the men’s collection.  For the women, expect to find bronze and silver jeans along side their colorful gem colored jeans.  Of course, you can sift through their requisite collection of indigo and grays for winter—all in slim and skinny fits—but don’t you think a splash of color adds spice to your wardrobe?

Nasty Gal’s Beach Babe Winter Looks Feature Bright Denim + Sequins

Only Nasty Gal could pull off sheer tops, bright jeans, denim cut-offs, and sparkly holiday dresses all in one lookbook and smack in the middle of December. Talk about a California Christmas! We love absolutely everything about this. The denim short shorts might be  a bit far-fetched for this time of the season, but you could totally take the rest of these looks, throw on a cute  coat and be good to go to any Holiday parties you might have lined up.
