Casual Holiday Outfit Ideas
Looking for some low-key yet festive outfits to wear this holiday season? These casual holiday outfits are going to put cheer into your everyday wardrobe.
Casual Night Out Holiday Outfit
Just because you’re dressing casually doesn’t mean you shouldn’t embrace a festive vibe!
A bright red top can really do wonders this time of the year, and this red long-sleeved off-the-shoulder top with a twist front is a trendy option that you’ll want to wear after the holidays, too.
Make it pop by pairing it with dark wash denim, like these cuffed wide-leg jeans that are casual while still looking elevated — especially when worn with a chic belt with gold metal accents.
Bring the ensemble together with some chunky black boots (these are waterproof, making them ideal for the wintertime), some textured gold hoop earrings, and a studded shoulder bag, which is one of the season’s hottest accessories.
Casual Daytime Holiday Outfit
Give me all the all the fair isle print during the holiday season! This classic print is a hallmark of the wintertime, and this year, it’s especially on-trend. This adorable green fair isle sweater is cropped for a more modern and youthful look (and also comes in red, which is equally as festive).
Keep it laid-back by wearing it with some straight-leg jeans and a graphic print “Aprés Ski” beanie hat that will help you stay warm while making you look extra cute.
Take on the cold weather with some lace-up platform boots that have a faux shearling lining for added warmth and coziness.
Green Plaid Cardigan with Faux Leather Pants
Cozy meets chic with this outfit that features a green and white plaid print cardigan sweater paired with faux leather pants and ankle boots.
The fuzzy eyelash knit material (it’s even on its buttons!) makes this cardi extra adorable and festive and creates a cool contrast when worn with edgier faux leather pants. You could also opt for jeans for a more casual vibe.
Jacquard Knit Sweater with Jeans
Nothing gives off a classic holiday feel quite like a jacquard knit sweater does. This one comes in a few different color combinations, all of which have a seasonal aesthetic, especially this red-and-white option with snowflakes and skiers.
Wear it alone or layered over a turtleneck top, paired with jeans and lace-up boots or Ugg boots.
Holiday Graphic Print Sweatshirt
Keeping it super casual? Put on a cheerful holiday graphic print sweatshirt.
Whether you’re studying, lounging around, or decorating for the holidays, this cozy crewneck sweatshirt will put you in a holiday mood with its “Let It Snow!” graphic print.
Plus, you’ll be able to wear this throughout the rest of the winter, too. It’ll make your sweatpants, shorts, and/or leggings feel much more festive — just add some Uggs.
Red Double-Breasted Coat with Jeans
Make a statement with a red double-breasted coat this holiday season.
This faux wool trench coat is going to add the ultimate pop of color to your outfits and can be worn with casual and dressy outfits alike. Its classic design makes this coat a chic choice that will transform even a basic top, jeans, and sneakers into an eye-catching look.
Ribbed Red Sweater with Jeans
It’s amazing how choosing a sweater in a festive color like red can instantly make even the simplest outfit feel special!
The vibrant red hue of this ribbed knit top, along with its bell sleeves and slash neckline, make it a standout piece that you’ll be able to wear casually with jeans for an everyday look or dressed up with a faux leather mini skirt for a night out.
Fairisle Cropped Sweater and Micro Shorts
How insanely cute is this knit set (sold separately) featuring a cropped pullover sweater and micro shorts, both with a festive fair isle print?! If you’re looking for a cozy yet flirty outfit to curl up by the fire in, this one is for you.
The pullover sweater has a cropped length, balloon sleeves, and a holiday-inspired print, while the matching micro shorts are made from the same plush, stretchy knit material and wide, ribbed waistband.
And while the shorts are better suited for at-home wear, the sweater can totally be worn with denim, leggings, and other bottoms out and about.
Graphic Bow Sweater with a Plaid Mini Skirt
Of course, you don’t always have to wear bright colors to signify the holiday season. This black sweater featuring a white bow print still has a festive feel without being over the top.
Whether you wear it with jeans or with a cute plaid mini skirt and knee-high boots, you’ll be reaching for this sweater all season long.
Green Corduroy Wide-Leg Pants with an Off-the-Shoulder Sweater
Corduroy just feels right this time of year, especially in a flattering dark green hue. These easy-wearing pants feature a wide-leg silhouette and a bit of stretch to make them comfy.
Pair the pants with an off-the-shoulder sweater and ankle booties for a cute, casual look.
Fair Isle Sweater with Jeans
This sweater is literally called the “Festive Feels” sweater, so you know it had to make it into this round-up!
With a colorful fairisle print and a soft, fuzzy yarn, you’ll be happy to cozy up in this crewneck sweater that will make your regular jeans feel more seasonal.
It comes in a bunch of different colors and prints (including stripes and fair isle), all of which are equally adorable and warm.
Red And Navy Flannel Pajama Pants
Pajama pants, but make them fashion. These red and navy flannel pajama pants are just as great for sleeping in as they are for wearing out and about!
The print is perfect for the holidays, and the stretchy elastic waistband makes them extra comfortable. Their wide-leg design makes them appear more elevated, meaning you could just as easily wear these with a navy sweater, flats, and cute accessories as you could with a pajama top. Either way, you’ll be comfy AF.
Graphic Print T-Shirt with a Plaid Blazer
Santa baby, just slip a sable under the tree for me… this “Santa Baby” graphic print t-shirt will have you feeling holly jolly while still looking on-trend.
Try styling it with a plaid blazer and denim for a cute, casual look or a fuzzy fleece jacket for an even more laid-back vibe.
Dressy Holiday Outfit Ideas
Need to dress up for some fun holiday festivities? Get ready to *sleigh* with these dressy holiday outfit ideas that are under $100.
Holiday Party Outfit
‘Tis the season for a red slip dress! It’s the perfect item to wear to a dressy holiday party: it’s shiny, it’s sleek, and it can be styled in a bunch of different ways.
I love the idea of wearing it with a black oversized blazer and some black pointy-toe heels like these mesh mules.
Be sure to accessorize with eye-catching, festive items like some silver bow drop earrings and a checked beaded handbag with faux pearls and an adorable bow-shaped velvet handle.
Dressy Family Holiday Gathering Outfit
Go for a classic, preppy vibe with this cute holiday outfit featuring a green plaid wrap mini skirt and a green cable knit cardigan. This cardigan (also considered a sweater jacket) has a classy look to it thanks to its thick cable knit and gold novelty buttons, which give it a luxe effect.
Keep with the preppy aesthetic by wearing some patent loafers and add a green velvet bow barrette to your hair, along with some chunky gold statement stud earrings and a structured green handbag with gold hardware. This outfit would be perfect for a family holiday gathering!
Red Satin Long-Sleeve Mini Dress
You will *sleigh* (sorry, but I had to at least once) in this red long-sleeved satin mini dress that has festive flared sleeves and a square neckline that is perfect for showing off a statement necklace.
This particular shade of red is just right for the holiday season, and this dress can be worn with tights if it’s chilly out, along with your choice of boots or heels.
Green Velvet Long-Sleeve Mini Dress
There’s something about velvet that feels so festive, and being that it’s a thicker material, it’s perfect for colder seasons.
This long-sleeve mini dress will help keep you warm (especially with tights) while making you look elevated with its rich velvet fabric, mini mock neck, and side ruching detail which creates an ultra-flattering fit.
Red Satin Bow Mini Skirt with a Turtleneck Top
I am completely in love with this red satin mini skirt featuring an adorable bow detail at the waist. It’ll make you feel like you’re the holiday gift!
Because the skirt makes such a statement on its own, you can keep the rest of your outfit fairly simple with a black turtleneck top and black tights. Just be sure to tuck your top into the skirt (or wear a bodysuit) so that you are showing off the bow at the waist!
Cropped Hooded Faux Fur Jacket
If you’ve been scrolling TikTok, there’s no doubt you’ve seen the viral Target faux fur jacket all over your FYP! This popular jacket looks ultra-luxe but is at an affordable price point, making it a must-have.
With a cropped length and hood, this jacket has a modern silhouette that looks just as great with jeans as it does with a sequin mini dress. Wear it throughout the holiday season for an instant dose of glamour.
Red Bow Split-Hem Top with a Faux Leather Mini Skirt & Knee-High Boots
Heading out on the town with your friends? This red off-the-shoulder long-sleeve top with a split-hem and bow details is guaranteed to turn heads. Its bows give it a charming look, while its split-hem gives it a crop top vibe that is great for going out.
Wear it with a faux leather mini skirt and knee-high boots, or some faux leather pants and ankle boots on your upcoming night out.
Ruched Velvet Corset Mini Dress
ICYMI, maroon is the hottest color of the A/W season, and it’s perfect for the holidays, too.
This maroon corset mini dress has a rich velvet construction and a flouncy pleated skirt that will make you feel like a modern-day princess.
I love the way it looks with black sheer tights and black heels — you could always wear an oversized blazer on top for added warmth, too.
Green Plaid Mini Skirt with a Knit Top
There’s something about plaid prints that are just so fitting for the holiday season, especially one that features hues like green, red, and/or navy.
This plaid mini skirt is as adorable as it gets, with an A-line silhouette, and is available in two festive colors, green and a red and navy combo.
Style this skirt with a cute knit top (I love the above option with bow details) and some loafers or knee-high boots.
Red Bubble Hem Mini Dress
Bubble hems are another major fashion trend this season, and I’d say it is the perfect time of the year to try out this fun trend!
This halter red bubble hem mini dress has a cute, playful vibe that will pair well with black knee-high boots or heels. Best of all, it has hidden shorts attached underneath, so you won’t have to worry about its short length and can move around freely.
Green Glitter Knit Midi Dress
Turn up the sparkle with this gorgeous green glitter knit midi dress. It has a sleek turtleneck and sleeveless design with a flattering stretchy knit material that is woven with metallic yarn to make it shine.
Accessorize with silver jewelry and heels for a sparkling holiday look.
Burgundy Short-Sleeve Cardigan and Satin Midi Skirt
I love a monochrome look, especially one that features the trendiest color of the season: burgundy.
This outfit is chic yet sweet at the same time, thanks to the cardigan’s adorable silver bow-shaped buttons going down the front.
It pairs perfectly with a matching burgundy midi skirt in a satin material, which gives it a dressier look and creates a monochromatic effect.
Wear this ensemble to an upcoming holiday party, and you’ll be sure to get a ton of compliments!
Velvet Bow Ties Mini Dress
Talk about chic. This white mini dress features contrasting black velvet bow-tie straps for a sweet, feminine touch, along with its flouncy skirt and V-neckline.
Winter whites are always an unexpected yet fashionable choice during the holiday season, and this cream/white frock is just fabulous.
Velvet One-Shoulder Rhinestone Cuff Mermaid Dress
If you have a super fancy holiday soiree to attend, I have the gown for you. This red velvet floor-length mermaid dress is a total show-stopped, with a one-shoulder design and ruched seams to accentuate your silhouette.
Best of all, it practically takes care of the accessorizing for you with its dazzling rhinestone-cuffed sleeve, which looks like a fancy bracelet but is attached to the sleeve itself. (Of course, you’ll want to jazz it up even more with some matching silver earrings and a necklace).
Red Burnout Floral Maxi Dress
Florals for the holidays? Why not! This deep red maxi dress features a subtle floral burnout print with hints of velvet throughout for a rich feel.
It also has a self-tie, partially open back for a sexy touch, along with a halter tie and sweetheart neckline.
