10+ Holiday Outfit Ideas
Shine Bright with Sequins
We’re starting off with the sequins outfits. Who doesn’t love wearing a little sparkle around the holidays? The holidays are a perfect excuse to get dressed up.
This first outfit is one of my favorites because it includes both velvet and sequins, which are both great fabrics to wear throughout the winter. I started with this velvet top. My favorite detail are the straps, and I like to tie them into a bow for an extra feminine touch. You can also adjust how tight you want to tie the bow. It fits true to size, and I’m wearing an XS. The top would even be cute to pair with jeans for date night or out to dinner with your friends.
Then, I styled the top with a sequins skirt. My exact skirt is out of stock, however I recently purchased this skirt too. Finally, I finished the look with these gorgeous bow platform heels. For a great look-for-less, these sandals are adorable too.
I’ve included a few other sequins options that would work well for New Year’s Eve or other dressier events. The first picture above is actually a romper, but looks like a dress. Both fit true to size and I’m wearing an XS.
Classic and Feminine Dresses
Each of these dresses I included in this roundup have the most gorgeous detailing. Whether it’s a little sparkle, lace or a tiered structure, each one is just as special as the next.
This has been a favorite fall and winter dress this season. It’s a satin tie dress and comes in two other beautiful colors. It’s also currently 50% off. It would be a great option to wear to a winter wedding. The dress fits true to size, and I’m wearing an XS.
I paired neutral lace-up pumps that are easy to style with dresses, denim and skirts. I finished the look with an affordable taupe crossbody bag. It’s a great staple to have in your wardrobe for nicer events.
I don’t wear a lot of black. But when I do, I make sure there’s feminine details included in the look. The first dress features bow detailing on the straps for a classic touch. I paired the dress with these gorgeous rhinestone, lace-up heels.
The second black dress has metallic sparkles all throughout the dress. It too has the adorable bow detailing at the shoulders, and I paired the dress with these bow-back pumps. They’re stunning! The dainty crystal cage bag is a unique clutch to carry at any festive or dressy event you’re attending. And it’s affordable – under $50.
A note about return shipping if you’re ordering: this is a UK-based company. Therefore if you aren’t 100% sure you want any items from them, you do have to pay to return. If you’re located in the US, the international shipping is quite expensive. Ordering was no problem, and I received free shipping and no custom fees etc! They are great to order from, but only if you know you are going to keep the item. I bought a few other dresses that didn’t fit and that is the issue I had with paying shipping to return. Because of that, I wanted to share as a heads up!
Sophisticated Pant Options
If you’re looking for different pant options for the holiday season, I included three different looks. Two include a great staple black work pant and the other is a casual-chic look to wear to an office happy hour or out to dinner for date night or with friends.
I love this first look because it can easily be worn to the office with a quick change of shoes and your bag. For instance, if you’re headed out to a work happy hour or going directly to dinner after work, this outfit would be perfect. For the office, pair nude pumps with a basic tote bag. Then, when you’re off to dinner, change your nude pumps out for these fun feather-detail pumps and this festive clutch.
For a more casual look, pair denim jeans with an oversized sweater and pumps with a little sparkle. It’s the perfect night out look that will make you feel comfortable and confident.
