The holiday season is a great time to add a little glitz and glamor to your wardrobe. While you may not be able to incorporate such elements into your closet all year round, the lead up to Christmas is the perfect time to incorporate luxe textures and whimsical motifs into your holiday look.
This season really calls for adding touches of velvet or satin, sequins or sparkly metallics for an eye-catching glow. Gorgeous jewel-like hues like cranberry red, forest green, and sugar plum reign supreme this time of year. Small details like ribbons, bows, and ruffles keep the look playful to match the cheerful spirit of the season.
Whether you’re dressing up for an office holiday party or looking for a little way to elevate your casual look while celebrating the holidays at home with family and friends, we’ve rounded up some totally shoppable Christmas outfit ideas to inspire your next holiday ensemble. And we promise there isn’t a single “ugly sweater” in it.
Of course, we also take price into consideration and choose items that will definitely not exceed your budget. If you act early, you may be able to score last-minute holiday deals.
