The Christmas season is here, and with it comes the first flashes of lights in the streets, company dinners, intimate gatherings with friends and family, and big celebrations that invite us to show off our best clothes. It’s the perfect time to stand out with special garments that stand out for their elegance and sophistication.
At Gratacós, we understand this need and, therefore, each collection includes carefully designed fabrics, made with the premium quality that special occasions demand. In this new blog entry, we want to guide you through our star fabrics so that you shine during the holidays, whether in a subtle way or with a dazzling touch. Discover their characteristics and learn how to make the most of each one for your most special moments. We will tell you about it below!
Velvet
Few fabrics inspire as much fascination as velvet. Its soft texture, with a short pile surface that changes direction when brushed, and its ability to delicately reflect light make it an irresistible classic for the holiday season. Plus, its slight elasticity makes it perfect for creating elegant and comfortable garments that stand out at any event.
Velvet evokes instant luxury and is incredibly versatile, especially for evening looks. From long evening gowns to full suits with fitted blazers and palazzo pants, this fabric adds a touch of sophistication to every look. The best part? At Gratacós we offer you a wide range of shades so you can find the one that best suits your style and the occasion.

Silk
Since ancient times, silk has been a symbol of luxury and sophistication. This natural fabric is distinguished by its extreme softness, natural shine and fluid drape, making it the perfect choice for garments that seek to elegantly adapt to the body. Silk has an impeccable drape, ideal for dresses and blouses that, without losing their shape, envelop with unique delicacy.
For the Christmas festivities, nothing beats a long silk dress with a lingerie style in metallic tones or deep red, ideal for a New Year’s party. If you prefer a more groundbreaking style, a silk blouse combined with high-waisted trousers creates a sophisticated and modern look. Another must-have? A long silk skirt, combined with a knitted or cashmere sweater, for an outfit that perfectly balances femininity and comfort.

Brocade
Ornate and full of character, brocade evokes baroque splendour with its homage to excess and intricate floral or geometric patterns woven in metallic threads. With its coarse texture and imposing presence, this fabric is perfect for creating structured garments that stand out on any special occasion.
What possibilities does it offer? A brocade dress is the perfect choice for very formal events, but this fabric can also be adapted to a more contemporary style. For example, a brocade jacket combined with high-waisted jeans creates a modern and sophisticated look with an unexpected twist. In addition, brocade is ideal for striking layers such as coats, jackets or blazers that add a regal air to any outfit.
Opt for a brocade garment for Christmas Eve dinners or events where you want to convey elegance and a subtle touch of royalty.

Sequins
If there is a fabric that captures the essence of the festive season, it is sequins. This timeless classic reflects light in a spectacular way, becoming the centre of attention. But at Gratacós we go one step further: this season, sequins are reinvented with maxi versions and combinations of 2 or 3 colours that create irresistible and unique mosaics.
Do you already know how to combine them? If not, here are some ideas: go for a head-to-toe shiny dress to dazzle at any event or dare to try less conventional options, such as jackets with metallic embellishments or even accessories such as bags. And if you are looking for an infallible look, a midi sequin dress in gold or silver tones is perfect to stand out on New Year’s Eve with elegance and glamour.

Taffeta
When we think of glamorous pieces with volume and structure, taffeta is the undisputed star. This lightweight yet firm fabric stands out for its rigidity, which allows it to hold its shape, and its subtle sheen, making it a classic choice for ball gowns and evening wear.
Design ideas? Taffeta is ideal for dresses with full skirts or layered details that need structure. Bright hues like silver or emerald further enhance its elegance, making it the perfect choice for high-end events like Christmas galas or New Year’s Eve dinners in luxurious settings.
