Do you have a favorite?

Do you have any clothes or ensembles that you only wear once or twice a year? They could be holiday themed, or anything else.
I am sharing my sweater vest in this image. I have probably had it for twenty years. It is not strictly Christmas, but I tend to try to wait for snow or at least cold weather to wear it.
I changed out the buttons on it, as they were knit or crochet snowballs. I am not totally satisfied with my replacement half round pearls, though.
I will also wear pale blue socks with snowmen on them tomorrow. Trying to be a little bit festive.
Do you have any favorite holiday wear?

I have a 2 piece dress that has over 30 years. It is made of cotton, dyed and knitted by hand. I does not wrinkle so that I can take it with me to a holiday and it will be perfectly nice.

Sometimes just seeing them makes the occasion special.

@GardenGerty yes because sometimes it related with feeling or special things and sometimes lucky one too.

It is something that makes me smile and also makes others who see it smile as well.

@GardenGerty It is pretty, not the usual bright red, it is in the ivory tones with fir trees covered with snow.

Yes, I have a long bright red dress I wear on the holidays even if I don't go anywhere. I start wearing it the week leading up to Christmas and then through New Year's Eve. It makes me feel more festive,

That's a really cute sweater. Love the idea of the socks. I don't have any special holiday clothing. Have a good day.

If they suit the season, wearing them often makes sense.

Nice not-ugly Christmas sweater. I like the buttons.

The buttons go well, but they are not sewn on well, my fault entirely. I cannot help but smile at the snowmen. I also wore snow men socks today.

I have a snowman shirt where they are skiing. And a snowflake sweater. I made some sweatshirts years ago with iron on decals for Christmas.
