If you’re in need of some inspiration for stylish, holiday-appropriate outfits for this Christmas season, look no further.

Scroll on to find your new favorite holiday look!
Off-the-shoulder top + tweed skirt.
get the look:
First up on my round-up of cute Christmas outfits is this stunning look worn by fashion girlie Emmanuelle. This sexy off-the-shoulder top pairs perfectly with the tweed-look midi skirt and tall boots.
Simple black accessories like a mini bag and a belt to define the waist are the perfect finishing touches. In my opinion, this is a great office-appropriate Christmas party outfit or a stylish option for a festive dinner party where you want to look your best.
If you live somewhere chilly, a maxi-length wool coat would add a chic and toasty layer.
Sweater dress + ballet flats.
get the look:
At Christmas time, you want your outfit to check all boxes. And a cute sweater dress does just that! A sweater dress is a cold-weather staple that’s just as comfy as staying in your pajamas all day, but it looks like you put in a ton of work. It’s one of my favorite holiday hacks for looking chic with minimal effort.
I love this off-white maxi-length one Felicia wears, but any sweater dress will work as long as it feels festive. A dark red, black, or forest green knit dress would also be beautiful. While you’re at it, add some ballet flats and a satin bow in your hair as a finishing touch.
Sweater + sequin pants.
get the look:
This next Christmas outfit idea is perfect for all your holiday plans since it works for both casual get-togethers and fancy events, and comes from my own closet!
Sequin pants are a cute and easy way to add some glitz and glamor to your outfits. They are the star of the show, so let them shine by pairing them with neutral, timeless pieces.
You can style them like I did above with a comfy sweater, ballet flats, and a leather clutch. Need a warm layer? Layer with a leather jacket or long wool coat.
Mini skirt, tights + chunky boots.
get the look:
Have a mini sweater dress? Throw it on with a wool coat and tights for a cool, stylish look. You can dress it down with chunky boots for an edgy touch or opt for knee-high leather boots if you want something dressier.
Amp up the coziness with a chunky scarf (ideally a hand-woven one you received as a gift) and a steaming cup of hot cocoa in hand.
Chunky turtleneck, leggings & tall boots.
get the look:
This next look is effortless and one I gravitate to often in the holiday season (any excuse to wear leggings is a good one IMO).
Grab an oversized chunky turtleneck and throw on a pair of black leggings. A pair of tall leather boots (heeled or not) will instantly elevate the outfit. And you can easily make it more holiday friendly with cute accessories like a velvet hair bow or scarf.
Slouchy sweater + midi skirt.
get the look:
If you’re looking for a more dressed-up Christmas party outfit, this next look takes the cake. The black midi skirt is so sophisticated, and the off-the-shoulder top adds a beautiful texture to the outfit.
I love a high contrast black and white look any time of year, but especially during the winter! Finish the ensemble with little kitten heels, minimal jewelry, and a matching bag and lipstick combo.
This is a perfect option if you’re the one hosting holiday events since it’s comfortable, chic, and the black skirt will do a good job at hiding any spills. It’s also great for office parties or other fancy occasions.
Faux fur coat + micro shorts.
get the look:
What’s more festive than a fluffy faux fur coat? This next Christmas outfit idea will get you through many holiday hangouts since it’s the perfect blend of trendy and timeless.
Get the look by pulling out a pair of leather mini shorts – sequin shorts would also work if you wanted to add sparkle – and a black long-sleeve top or bodysuit. A fur coat screams Christmas but still has an elevated, timeless feel. I suggest pairing this with tights and loafers to keep the outfit classy and sophisticated.
I love this outfit idea for a festive house party, Christmas cocktails with friends, or a cozy date night.
Festive knit, jeans & booties.
get the look:
Sometimes, a simple outfit is best! If you have casual holiday plans or love dressing festive all winter long, this is one Christmas outfit you’ll want to bookmark. The red cardigan with gold buttons has a perfect holiday vibe but you could also easily go with a red crewneck sweater or turtleneck.
I opted for heeled booties and my Chanel WOC to elevate the look but check out the next outfit for a more casual take.
Red sweater + jeans.
get the look:
In this next very similar look, but slightly more casual, the pièce de resistance is this chunky red cardigan from Sézane, which Diane buttoned at the top for a super cute, on-trend look.
Keep it laid back but still festive with patent red ballet flats and red bows in your hair.
Silk skirt + cozy cardigan.
get the look:
If you have a silk or satin skirt hanging in your closet, this is your sign to recreate this next look. This versatile Christmas outfit is an easy way to look effortlessly chic (and stay comfortable) this festive season.
Aimee’s navy blue slip skirt looks so elegant paired with a cream cardigan and Manolo Blahnik mules. Rhinestone embellished shoes are a simple way to add a little more sparkle to your holiday ‘fits. Recreate the look for less by swapping in a satin skirt and mary jane flats.
Slip skirt + sequin bow jacket.
get the look:
This is a look I’d wear to a classy cocktail party or another fancy event when I want to come dressed to impress. The stunning sequin bow jacket screams holiday to me. I love it with a black silk midi dress and classic black pumps for a chic, minimalist look.
Alternatively, you could wear the jacket as a top on its own with a pair of black trousers for another stylish Christmas party outfit. The possibilities are endless!
Faux fur jacket + white denim.
get the look:
Faux fur coats are one of my favorite winter fashion trends. Not only does a fuzzy coat keep you warm when temperatures are freezing, but it also adds a cozy texture that elevates the simplest outfits.
I adore how Cerisea styled this casual holiday outfit, opting for white denim, black boots, and a red knit paired with a faux fur jacket. Luxe accessories like a YSL belt and a Gucci shoulder bag add a sophisticated touch.
Oversized sweater + black silk pants.
get the look:
My next Christmas look is classic and simple. I paired my silk Toteme pants with an oversized cream cashmere sweater, patent leather slingbacks and a black leather pouch bag.
If you love the festive season but don’t like to go overboard with reds, greens, and glitter, this subtle and effortless look will do.
The Toteme pants are an investment, so I’ve linked a few other great affordable alternatives above!
Oversized sweater + cream silk pants.
get the look:
This next look is similar to mine above but with a winter wonderland vibe. Kathleen partnered an oversized gray sweater with cream silk pants (another one of my favorite winter trends).
The accessories are everything here! The extra-long scarf adds dimension and ties in the off-white tones of the trousers and YSL shoulder bag. Meanwhile, the statement earrings and silver metallic heels complement the satin trousers.
Bring on the burgundy.
get the look:
Match your outfit to your Christmas dinner wine with this next winter ‘fit. Lovisa paired some gorgeous gray trousers with a wine-colored top, cropped wrapped coat, and Chanel ballet flats. The coordinating heart-shaped Alaïa bag adds an exciting touch to a very polished look.
Overall, the monochrome details add to the minimal yet fashion-forward aesthetic. Oh, and did I mention this color is very on-trend for the holiday season?
This comfortable and classy look is perfect for office parties, trotting around the city looking at lights, or a festive dinner with your family.
Lots of textures.
get the look:
Mixing textures is one easy and stylish way to elevate your Christmas outfits. Lucy’s all-black look feels chic and celebratory thanks to a blend of fabrics like silk, leather, velvet, and faux fur.
For those who love fashion, getting dressed is the best part of the holiday season. So why not incorporate festive elements, like a velvet hair bow or sparkly earrings, that make your outfit feel more special? Because the look is monochromatic, everything comes together without feeling too over-the-top.
