Holiday Style Guide: Dressy Festive Outfits

It’s Holiday Style Week! I’ll be sharing great holiday outfits for every occasion. Today, we’re talking about dressy festive outfits. 

The holidays have a ton of reasons to dress up! This week for Holiday Style Week I’m sharing outfits for all occasions and today is all about DRESSY FESTIVE OUTFITS. You know, those outfits for holiday family pictures, or church on Christmas Sunday, or going to the Nutcracker ballet, or any other Christmas event where you need to be dressed up.

Where to Wear Dressy Festive Outfits

Here are some great places to wear these dressy festive holiday outfits:

• Christmas Eve/Christmas
• December Church
• Ballet/Play/Nutcracker
• Work Party

If you want some good shopping options for your holiday outfits, I have a style guide catalog this year with a ton of shopping ideas, at all price points. You can see that HERE.

Christmas Eve or Christmas Outfit

Need a good Christmas or Christmas Eve outfit? A bold red sweater, a herringbone jacket, and a red bow in your hair is so festive and fun!

I added some super chic and dressy heels, plus a pair of coated jeans for a little bit of edge. I’m obsessed with this outfit.

Different Price Point Options/Styles for Coated Black Jeans:

December Church Outfit

I love wearing red and plaid to church during December. It’s so festive, and works with any outerwear.

You could go super festive and add a red or green coat, but I went with a chic black option and a bold red lipstick.

Ballet or Play Outfit

Headed to the Nutcracker or to a holiday theater event? This outfit is SO PERFECT. This skirt is spectacular and so fun, with all the shimmery colorful stripes, and I paired it with a black turtleneck sweater, my faux fur coat, and monochromatic tights and shoes (yes, you can wear open toed heels with tights…it totally works if you’re going monochromatic, like I am here).

The theater is absolutely a place that deserves a little dressing up, and this outfit is just the thing.
