Collegiettes, it’s officially holiday season, and we’re all sure to be attending tons of upcoming holiday celebrations. Sure, we’re all fans of the classic ugly Christmas sweater party, but this year, give your style a seasonal update by incorporating some chic and fashionable pieces into your holiday wardrobe. Check out these stylin’ outfit combinations that will be sure to wow your friends, family, and maybe even that special someone you might run into at the next holiday party.
Take your usual holiday party outfit up a few notches by introducing a tulle skirt to the mix. Pair a flouncy tulle skirt in any color with a slouchy sweater for a runway-inspired look that is sure to spin heads! What I love about this idea is that the playfulness of the skirt allows you to take risks with accessories, so you can achieve that avant-garde appearance! A large bib necklace works as the focal point for the outfit, so there is no need for extra accessories. Adding a small clutch in either neutral, pink, or black, along with some fun, printed pointed-toe heels, or even flats, is the perfect way to top off this festive ensemble. Looking for an edgier vibe? Just throw on a moto jacket and mixed metal accessories!
Chilly weather is the perfect time to break out those wedge booties and tights. This laid back outfit is perfect for a holiday party with family, or a small gathering at your friend’s house. An empire waist dress in a cheerful color or print, coupled with a fun set of patterned tights, is comfortable, fun, and shows off your personality. The wedge booties make the casual dress seem a bit more elegant, and they’ll keep your toes warm all night! This year, delicate layered necklaces are super popular, so you can take some of your favorite small pieces and layer them on top of each other. Add a set of timeless pearls, and you’ve got yourself a classic fall-themed party outfit that is ideal for any occasion.
By adding a thick knit cardigan to a flowy tank top, you can make the transition into the colder season without having to completely abandon some of your summer pieces. I love a great-fitting dark washed jean with this outfit. (Every woman should own a pair!) Include simple accessories and give your feet a break from heels by wearing a pair of flats. The T-strap is a nice detail, and a fun print adds some holiday flair.
What’s a holiday party without a little shine? A sequined circle skirt truly embodies the fall and winter season. A simple sheer top in a neutral color is perfect for a blouse, and simple black pumps with tights are a chic way to keep the chill away! Try fun holiday-themed accessories, like snowflake earrings and a ribbon necklace. A faux fur vest really finishes off this look by giving the illusion of a luxurious and expensive ensemble without making a dent in your wallet.
