Wondering what to wear to a holiday party this season? From dressy satin dresses and faux fur coats to cozy holiday sweaters and festive accessories, this guide breaks down outfit...
Holiday party season is officially here, which means it is time to break out the sparkle, the rich colors, and the statement layers. Whether your event is a dressy cocktail party, a cozy family gathering, or a playful themed night with friends, choosing the right outfit sets the tone. If you are wondering what to wear to a holiday party, here are polished, stylish, and totally wearable ideas for every type of celebration.
Satin continues to be one of the most popular holiday fabrics because it photographs beautifully and immediately elevates your look. Mini lengths feel fun and flirty, midi silhouettes offer a chic and balanced shape, and maxi dresses are perfect for a formal holiday gala. Choose rich seasonal tones like emerald, cranberry, deep navy, or champagne. Pair yours with strappy heels, a dainty clutch, and statement earrings.
SHOP THE LOOK: SIENNA OLIVE GREEN SATIN MAXI DRESS
Nothing says holiday glamour like a faux fur coat. A cropped faux fur jacket is perfect over a mini dress, while longer faux fur silhouettes feel dramatic over satin midis and maxis. Soft neutrals like ivory and camel add polish, while deep brown or black feels bold and timeless. Style with metallic accessories or jewel toned heels for the perfect winter finish.
SHOP THE LOOK: FALLON BROWN FAUX FUR JACKET
If you prefer festive shimmer, opt for sequined dresses, glitter knits, or metallic pleated skirts or dresses. A sequined mini makes a big entrance, while a metallic midi skirt paired with a fitted long sleeve top gives you shine without being over the top. Keep your accessories simple so the sparkle can stand out.
SHOP THE LOOK: JULIETTA GREEN SEQUIN MIDI SKIRT and GRACE CREAM & BLACK STITCH BOWS SWEATER
If you are attending a laid back celebration, holiday sweaters are the go to choice. Look for sweaters with embroidered trees, snowflakes, candy canes, or playful sayings like "Merry" or "Joyful." Pair them with dark denim, wide leg trousers, or a cute mini skirt with tights. Finish the look with loafers or booties.
SHOP THE LOOK: FREYA GREEN & CREAM CHRISTMAS TREE STITCH SWEATER and MERRY RED & WHITE PLAID PAJAMA SHORT
For a comfortable and effortlessly chic outfit, choose an oversized cardigan layered over a fitted long sleeve top or bodysuit. Add straight leg jeans or tailored trousers for balance. This look is ideal for family gatherings where you want to stay warm but still look put together. You can also elevate it with suede booties or a leather shoulder bag.
SHOP THE LOOK: ROWYN BURGUNDY BUTTON-UP KNIT CARDIGAN
If you want something in between casual and dressy, reach for jackets in luxe seasonal textures like leather, faux leather, suede, or sherpa. A leather blazer instantly sharpens your look, while a suede moto jacket adds warmth and softness. Style with a ribbed knit midi skirt or your favorite sweater dress for a polished casual vibe.
SHOP THE LOOK: DIANA DARK BROWN FAUX LEATHER JACKET
Turn heads in classic holiday hues like ruby red, deep green, bright gold, or silver. These colors work well in everything from sweaters to satin tops to velvet dresses. A red mini dress or an emerald satin midi guarantees a festive entrance.
SHOP THE LOOK: CPRA BURGUNDY SATIN BOW MINI SKIRT and MIA IVORY RIBBED OFF-THE-SHOULDER TOP
If you want a more fashion forward look, mix textures and silhouettes. A feather trimmed top paired with tailored trousers is chic for a holiday cocktail night. A velvet or tulle skirt instantly brings a festive touch, especially when styled with a simple fitted sweater.
SHOP THE LOOK: LUCIA DEEP RED SHIMMER SMOCKED TOP
Holiday parties are the perfect occasion to embrace fun accessories. Try jeweled headbands, sparkly earrings, metallic heels, beaded handbags, or faux fur clutches. Even a simple outfit becomes party ready with the right finishing touches.
