The holiday season is the perfect excuse to elevate your wardrobe with a touch of glamour and sophistication. Whether you’re heading to a festive party, hosting a family dinner, or attending a New Year’s Eve bash, this guide is designed to inspire your holiday look!
Holiday Outfit Lookbook
Holiday Party Glam
For evening events that call for something dazzling:
- Detailed Dresses: A knee-length or midi dress in rich tones like emerald green, ruby red, or navy blue offers effortless elegance. Pair with statement earrings and black heels!
- Faux Fur Jacket: Depending on where you live, holiday parties often happen in cooler weather. The faux fur jacket above is going to be my go-to this year. I love the length and paneled stitching.
- Detailed Tights: The best way to add some warmth and style to your holiday outfit, is with a good pair of detailed tights!
For a laid-back holiday party, pairing a well-fitted pair of jeans with a luxurious velvet top strikes the perfect balance between comfort and festive flair. This look is ideal for gatherings with friends or family where you want to feel relaxed yet stylish.
How to Style It:
- The Jeans: Opt for dark-wash or black denim for a polished and slimming effect. High-waisted or straight-leg styles work well to create a clean silhouette.
- The Velvet Top: Choose a velvet blouse or top in a rich holiday hue like deep burgundy, forest green, or sapphire blue. Details like a wrap design, puff sleeves, or subtle embellishments add a touch of sophistication.
For a refined and versatile holiday outfit, velvet trousers paired with a classic black blouse make an effortlessly elegant combination. This ensemble works beautifully for events where you want to look polished without being overly formal.
How to Style It:
- The Velvet Trousers: Choose wide-leg or tailored velvet trousers in festive colors like deep burgundy, midnight blue, or emerald green. These luxurious pants add texture and richness to the outfit.
- The Black Blouse: Opt for a blouse with special details—think lace accents, subtle ruffles, or a silk finish—to add visual interest. A slightly fitted silhouette balances the volume of the trousers.
New Year’s Eve Sparkle
Ring in the new year in style:
- A Sequined Top: Opt for a top with full or partial sequins in festive colors like silver, gold, or black. The option above has the perfect amount of sparkle with added bow detail I adore!
- The Black Denim: Go for dark-wash or jet-black wide leg, straight-leg, or cropped jeans. They provide a sleek backdrop to let the sequins take center stage.
Office Holiday Party
Dressing professionally with a festive twist:
- Midi Dress: The velvet midi dress above has a beautiful shape and I love the way it lays!
- Blazers with Festive Touches: A velvet or satin blazer over a classic white blouse instantly elevates your office party outfit.
- Tasteful Jewelry: Opt for elegant pieces like pearl earrings or a statement necklace to tie the outfit together.
Cozy & Chic for Family Gatherings
If you’re hosting or attending casual holiday get-togethers:
- Knit Sweaters: Opt for a luxuriously soft cashmere or chunky knit sweater in festive hues like cream, burgundy, or metallic accents. Pair with dark denim or plaid trousers.
- Cardigans and Blouses: A long cardigan over a lace-trimmed blouse adds warmth and elegance without being too formal.
- Flats with Flair: Velvet loafers, embellished ballet flats, or low-heeled boots are comfortable yet stylish.
