The holiday season is here, and with it comes the joy of parties, dinners, and celebrations. Whether you’re attending a casual family get-together or an elegant holiday party, choosing the right outfit is only half the story. Selecting the right accessories is key to making your outfit look polished and put together. Here’s a guide to help inspire your holiday outfits from casual to formal, at different price points.

Casual Holiday Get-Together

Casual holiday gatherings often mean a relaxed vibe, but that doesn’t mean your outfit shouldn’t be polished. For these occasions, aim for a look that combines comfort with style. 

 

                            Jeans     l     Top     l     Shoes     l     Necklace     l     Earrings     l     Bag

We love the look of relaxed jeans paired with a more structured top and contrasted with a relaxed, low-heel boot. Here we've accentuated the top with a simple, statement necklace and some pearl earrings. 

 

Semi-Casual Party

These are probably the hardest events to dress for - denim doesn't feel right but a dress and heels don't either. In these cases, we recommend starting with an interesting pant as your base and building around that. 

                                Pants     l     Top     l     Shoes     l     Necklace     l     Earrings

Here we've started with a velvet, black pant to build the outfit and added a soft, festive red top. We've added some eye-catching jewelry, including a chunky, statement chain and simple hoop earrings. To finish, we suggest keeping the shoes simple to avoid competing with the other pieces. 

 

Formal Holiday Affair

For more formal holiday parties, you can indulge in a bit of glamour. From elegant dresses to sophisticated suits, formal events allow you to experiment with more luxe fabrics and rich colors. We absolutely love a monochrome look in red or brown hues this season.
                          
                 Top     l     Skirt     l     Shoes     l     Earrings     l     Top Bracelet     l     Bottom Bracelet

Here we've paired a silk skirt in a deep ruby red and a sweet matching sweater with festive bows. An A-line skirt is a staple piece to have in your closet because its versatile and flatters most body types. For accessories, we suggest picking an earring with some sparkle and stacking some bracelets to complement rather than compete with the rest of the outfit. 

Dressing for the holidays can be stressful. We all want to look and feel our best. Wherever the festivities take you, our best advice is to plan ahead, choose something you feel great in, and don't be afraid to take a little risk. The holidays are the perfect time to have fun with your outfits!
