Holiday Party Outfits: What to Wear to Every Celebration
Holiday parties call for a little sparkle and a lot of confidence. The trick is choosing pieces that feel festive without overdoing it.
Match the outfit to the party
- Office party: dressy separates with a polished finish
- Cocktail party: a midi dress or a sleek jumpsuit
- Casual gathering: a festive knit with dark jeans
- Formal dinner: an elegant dress with statement accessories
The festive touches
- Velvet, satin, and sequins in small doses
- Jewel tones like emerald, burgundy, and sapphire
- One statement piece: a bold earring, a metallic heel, or a clutch
Outfit ideas
A velvet midi dress with strappy heels.
A satin blouse with wide-leg trousers and a statement necklace.
A sequin top with black jeans and pointed pumps.
A knit dress with knee-high boots for a cozy but polished look.
The holidays are the one time to lean into a little shine — just keep the rest of the look simple.
