Christmas 2025 is delivering major style, from statement sparkle to chic knit sets. Read to learn about (& be inspired by) the top fashion trends taking over this festive season!
Hottest Holiday Season Fashion Trends
This holiday season is your best excuse to play dress up. With the lights twinkling and festive gatherings filling up the calendar, December will be calling for an outfit that feels a little extra.
This year, holiday fashion is all about sparkle, drama, and statement-making details, but still with a touch of comfort. On TikTok and IG, we’re seeing sequins styled for brunch, oversized bows on outerwear, and knit sets that feel as chic as they are cozy.
If you are ready to make your holiday wardrobe feel fresh, these are the five trends you will be seeing everywhere for Christmas 2025!
1. Glitter in the Daylight
Sequins and metallics are no longer reserved for New Year’s Eve!
This holiday season, let the sparkle slip into the daytime with sequinned skirts, metallic trousers, and crystal-embellished tops styled casually with knits and coats. TikTok creators are loving daytime sequins, showing how easy it is to ground a sequinned piece with more casual items for a coffee date or holiday shopping.
Harper’s Bazaar said in regards to last winter’s runway, “Designers were playing with sparkle, spangle, and paillettes in ways that not only felt new, but distinctly chill.” It is the perfect way to bring a little magic into the everyday.

2. Luxe Knit Co-ords
Goodbye ugly Christmas sweater, hello chic matching knits. Coordinated sets in rich jewel tones or metallic yarns are one of the most wearable holiday looks of the year.
Opt for soft cardigans paired with matching skirts or wide-leg trousers that look polished but feel like loungewear. On IG, influencers are styling knit sets with heels and bold jewelry for gatherings, proving that cozy can absolutely be elegant.
Personally, I love this trend because it blends comfort with style so effortlessly.

Holiday dressing is leaning dramatic this year, and the sleeves are stealing the spotlight. From puffed velvet sleeves to sharply tailored shoulders, the focus is on the upper half of your look.
Get ready for dresses with oversized sleeves and blazers with strong shoulders taking over festive events. According to InStyle, “the puffed sleeves trend is officially a classic and going nowhere,” which makes this trend feel both timeless and fresh. It will instantly elevate any outfit, even if you keep the rest of your look simple.

If you want a little subtle sultriness for the holidays, sheer overlays are it.
Dresses with lace panels, skirts layered with mesh, or sheer sleeved bodysuits are everywhere right now. On TikTok, stylists are showing the many ways to wear the sheer trend to balance intrigue with warmth.
Vogue has highlighted this shift, noting that “Anything sheer is so magical” …a sentiment that feels spot on for the season. It is festive, flirty, and adds just enough drama without going overboard.

Accessories are going bold this season with oversized bows, feather trims, and eye-catching jewelry.
Think giant bows, faux fur shrugs over your party dress, or chandelier earrings that sparkle in every photo. Pinterest is already full of flatlays featuring statement accessories styled for holiday parties.
As The Zoe Report put it, “People want that avenue of creativity and a way to express themselves, and it’s going to be through their accessories.” I love this trend because it is the easiest way to add a festive feel to your outfit without having to overhaul your entire wardrobe.
