19 Holiday Outfit Ideas For Every Party on Your Calendar

Looking for a fresh way to update your favorite power suit? Craft a makeshift three-piece by adding a tailored corset on top.

Donning a dress fully decked out in crystals is the closest you can get to wrapping yourself up like a present.

Traditional holiday colors, but make it Cher Horowitz. Tough leather boots lend a slightly grunge air.

3D floral embellishments have skyrocketed to the forefront of fashion this season (think styles from brands such as Magda Butrym, and the internet-loved Fancí Club), and the holidays couldn’t have made for a better time to pull them out.

During the holidays is when brands such as Paco Rabanne – who specialize in chainmail – shine best. Use a netted, chain style dress to layer over (and breathe new life into) your trusty black maxi.

Holiday parties are one of the few occasions when no one will question you for applying a heavy hand to the metallics. To get the look, grab a high sheen top and match it with your handbag and shoes.

All-over black is a holiday party classic, and that’s just a fashion fact. All it takes to add a fresh design element? A statement shoe with a metallic, foil-like finish that feels especially festive.

If the weather absolutely calls for a heavy jacket (and at this time of year, it usually does), try finding one that feels like a moment all on its own. No matter what you decide to wear underneath, a luxurious bit of fur or an eye-catching, two-toned pattern will steal the spotlight.

For the low-key gal who wants something understated and lowkey – but stylish – pick a neutral tone dress. Go for a little visual interest by way of tassels or fringe at the hem. Then, layer over a dramatic – albeit practical – longline puffer jacket. Sleek booties seal the deal.

Yes, go ahead and pair those sneakers with your floor-sweeping maxi dress. A simple clutch makes for the ideal finishing touch.

Take the season’s “all denim everything” trend from casual to soirée-ready by adding a voluminous skirt and crystal embellishments.

Do your holiday plans include dancing the night away? Go for a style that’s even more beautiful when in movement, such as all-over fringe. Not to mention, you’ll get gorgeous photographs when you’re caught mid-twirl.

Decision fatigue has its way of kicking in when you have a number of events to plan for. Don’t overthink it – reach for classic co-ords with festive feather trim when you don’t know what to wear. Metallic accessories round out the chic ensemble.

Feathers make such a strong statement on their own. Keep the rest of your outfit pretty relaxed to tone down the playful texture.

Nothing makes for a luxe outfit for the evening like velvet, especially when complete with beaded accents and puffed shoulders. Sheer tights and dangly earrings provide plenty of drama.

When wearing all black, mix and match silhouettes, like a micro mini with a slightly oversized trench coat. And for footwear, bring on the sky-high platforms.

So often, sequin dresses are worn on their own. Incorporate a blazer with super structured shoulders and tall boots for a more tailored take on the look.

Stepping out in a bright-colored, printed suit is another way to successfully put a festive spin on the otherwise classic ensemble. Matching shoes and a neutral handbag are accessories that will never miss.

Cue the fashion dramatics. A chic pair of opera gloves will turn any outfit into eveningwear goals.
