Dress to Dazzle: Christmas Outfits For Everyone

The year is close to an end and the magic of the holiday season is upon us. The last few days of the year – especially the week between Christmas Day on December 25 and New Year’s Eve – are filled with parties, revelry, and reflection for the next year. Whether you are celebrating with family, attending holiday parties at work, or heading out to look at Christmas decorations with friends, your outfits must be on point!

Hot red is a big trend this winter and also reflects the Christmas spirit! Jackets and sweaters in bright reds are a must-have. Christmas outfits also heavily feature jewel tones like blue, purple, and green. Learn about the latest trends and how you can style outfits for all occasions. We are checking everything off the list – from subtle and chic ideas to full-glam party looks. Read till the end for some bonus quirky ideas!

1. Party Comfort

It’s one of the only times of the year when wearing a sweater to a party is socially acceptable and you should cash in on that as much as possible. Sequins are a big yes around Christmas time, and a blinged-out skirt will go perfectly with an oversized sweater. You can also go for a soft metallic satin or leather skirt. Wear the outfit with boots and a clutch bag.

2. Festive Boss

Don’t want to give up on your girl boss energy? Blazers will be ideal for your next holiday party at work or formal festive events. While red is all around us this season, you can also go for the classic blazer set in black or other neutral colours. Embellished blazers and suits will also help you stand out. Cinch your waist with a matching belt and wear gold hoop earrings to elevate the look. You can also ditch the earrings and pick a statement necklace.

3. Cosy Season

If you are tired of pairing your sweaters with bottoms, knitwear dresses are here to be your best friend. They are comfortable, will keep you warm and also have a great solid base to build your outfit. Wear a belt for shape, embellished boots and stockings with prints for the wow factor. You can also add a beanie for the ultimate cosy look – a big plus if you are in a region with low temperatures.

4. All That Glitters

Sequins are trending this festive season and we’re not shying away from wearing a full sequin dress. If standing out at Christmas parties is your goal, this is the outfit for you. From mini dresses to floor-length gowns, sequin looks will not fail you. Remember to keep the focus on your dress and go easy on accessories and footwear. Clear strap heels or solid black or white lace-up heels will make for great options.

5. Chequered Charm

Chequered or plaid patterns are a winter essential and this includes your Christmas holiday outfits. Whether you are running last-minute errands, hosting parties, or just stepping out for coffee, plaid skirts are a chic option – especially with black turtleneck sweaters, stockings and boots. Depending on the occasion, you can add bling to this outfit with embellished bags, belts and pendant chains.

6. Suits on the Go

Jumpsuits are amazing if you’re simply tired of pairing tops and bottoms. They are ideal for corporate boss women or even if you want a look that goes from day to night. Opt for embellished jumpsuits to add the festive flair or go for a full sequin look (we’re loving it this season). You can also add holiday vibes with fabrics like satin in soft metallic shades, organza and leather. Wear these with your winter coats or jackets while outdoors.

7. Not So Ugly

While the internet calls sweaters with Christmas prints ugly, Taylor Swift proves that it’s definitely not the case. A great option for daily wear during the holiday season, printed sweaters will add festive cheer to your routine looks. These roomy sweaters get a big plus point for comfort and they can be paired with any bottoms that you like – jeans, leather pants, trousers, joggers, or even cargo pants.

8. Jackets, But Not Really

Blazer dresses embody the ‘business on top, party on the bottom’ attire. Wear blazer dresses with strappy heels or ankle-length boots and a sling bag with metallic details. Go for bold reds and dresses with interesting sleeves, like net fabric or cape style. This is your chance to add jewellery, like statement earrings or necklaces, and stacked dainty bracelets will look amazing with a blazer dress.

9. Bejewelled

Indian ethnic wear can definitely tie into the Christmas theme if you go for jewel tones. Plush fabrics like silk and velvet will be your best bet to fit into the Christmas holiday vibe with traditional garments. You can wear kurta sets, anarkalis, or sarees to add that desi touch. Indo-western fusion wear will also look great – you just need to stay within the colour scale of jewel tones and reds.

10. White Christmas

Pure white from head to toe might be a risk for clumsy eaters (like me!) but it’s worth it. A white set with an open jacket or shirt, crop top, and trousers will give you the ultimate easygoing outfit. While gold and silver jewellery will be a dream pair with all-white, adding a string of pearls or pearl drop earrings will take your solid white Christmas attire to the next level.

For Christmas Mornings & Costume Partays

What’s the holiday season without a few laughs? A costume party (or even just a gathering with friends) will be the perfect opportunity to display your quirky side. While Madonna’s tree dress will forever be iconic, you can look at sequin green mini dresses for the next costume party. You can also dress like a candy cane by wearing a red and white striped dress, or just dress like Santa! Christmas mornings are also a great time to wear matching PJs with your loved ones. Get cute and cosy family pics or wear printed night suits to your next sleepover party.
