There are so many outfit combinations that can be worn throughout the Christmas season. You can use pieces you already own for the fall and winter months or buy a few festive pieces to get you through the season in style. 

Wondering what you should wear for Christmas? Here are 25 outfit ideas!

1. Sparkly Skirt and Sweater

Christmas Eve parties call for sparkles! Balance out the bling with a chunky sweater, and add either heels or boots, depending on the occasion. 

2. Turtleneck and Leather Jacket

Perfect for a night out, a leather jacket layered over a cozy turtleneck is a great way to stay warm, while still feeling dressed up! You can wear jeans, trousers, leather pants, a skirt – the outfit combos are endless! Add a pair of heeled boots for the perfect holiday look. 

3. Holiday Red Dress and Boots

Red dresses and boots just feel like Christmas! A sweater dress in a festive color and a cute pair of heeled boots are a fun way to dress for the season. Don’t forget to add a little bling for a party look!

4. Midi Dress and Loafers

For the neutral girls, a muted midi dress and loafers are an adorable look for a Christmas service or any other holiday gathering. The chunky loafers add a fun, trendy touch to a classic dress silhouette!

 

5. Patterned Shacket and Beanie

Don’t let the Christmas season dictate the colors you wear! A cute pink shacket and beanie make a perfect Christmas tree shopping outfit. Cozy and feminine, this look will be a favorite this season. 

6. Satin Matching Set

Perfect for home entertaining or a low-key family gathering, a matching set is a go-to look all year round. To add a little Christmas flair, wear a satin matching set and glam up your makeup and jewelry! 

7. LBD and Boots

The little black dress is a favorite for a reason! Add a pair of black boots and nylons for added warmth, and don’t forget to add a little sparkle in your accessories! 

8. Festive Sweater and Jeans

For a more casual, Christmas look, pair a festive patterned sweater with jeans. This outfit is so cute for Christmas decorating, baking cookies, and watching The Holiday with your girlfriends. 

9. Sweater Dress and Over-the-Knee Boots

If your over-the-knee boots are just sitting in the closet, pair them with a cozy sweater dress for an adorable Christmas look! This look would be perfect for Christmas dinner or last-minute Christmas shopping (which I know you’d never do…). 

10. Sherpa Jacket and Matching Boots

If Christmas means snow, stay warm in a sherpa jacket and matching boots. To avoid looking like Randy from A Christmas Story, keep your jacket, boots, and beanie in the same color family! 

11. Red Sweater and Leather Mini Skirt

Bring in the holiday cheer with a red sweater and a leather mini! This look combines the spirit of Christmas with the edginess of leather, which is perfect for going out with friends or celebrating the holiday on date night!

12. Sparkly Mini Dress

If the sparkly skirt didn’t have enough glam for your holiday events, a sparkly mini dress is one of our favorite Christmas looks! Flirty and fun, all eyes will be on you in a glitter dress. And if you don’t already have a dress hanging in your closet, most stores have already started selling them for the season!

13. Slouchy Sweater and Sneakers

Southern California weather usually means light layers during the Christmas season, and this look is a great way to combine the coziness of Christmas with the reality of slightly warmer weather. A slouchy sweater, in a gray, green, or cream, paired with distressed denim and sneakers is perfect for daytime Christmas events. 

14. Patterned Coat

A statement coat can take an outfit from basic to holiday ready! A monochrome look, like this white outfit, with a black and white statement coat is classy and could be dressed up or down for any event this Christmas season!

15. Monochrome Look

If you don’t plan on buying a holiday dress, try a monochrome look for your Christmas plans! Classy and feminine, you can add as many layers as you’d like, and base your look on the color you gravitate toward this season! Add a matching handbag or hat for a chic, cohesive look. 

 

16. Red Cocktail Dress

Umm, hello! One of the easiest add-to-cart items you can wear for dressier holiday plans is a red cocktail dress. Add heels or boots and sparkly accessories to tie the look together. This is an outfit you know you look good in…instant confidence booster! A red dress also makes a great date night look throughout the holiday season, and into Valentine’s Day!

17. Plaid Mini Skirt and Sweater

Christmas plaid is a great way to dress for the season. Pair a plaid mini skirt with a matching sweater for a cute holiday-themed look that could land you in a Hallmark movie. 

18. Leather Pants and Cardigan

If your jeans and trousers feel overworn during the winter months, try a pair of leather pants for a chic holiday look. Dress them down with a cute button-down cardigan and chunky loafers for a great shopping outfit!

19. Black Dress and Wool Coat

If your favorite black dress isn’t exactly winter-appropriate, layer a wool coat over it for added warmth and style. Add black accessories, like a handbag, sunnies, and boots, to create a purposeful, chic look for Christmas activities. 

20. Green Shoes and Sherpa Coat

A subtle way to participate in festive looks is with a pair of green shoes and a neutral look. A sherpa coat makes a statement that isn’t inherently Christmas, but a pop of color on the shoes is a great way to feel seasonal. This look would also be great for the office. 

21. Jeans and Ugg Boots

For the laid-back, casual Christmas day, combine your favorite wide-leg jeans with a chunky knit sweater and Ugg boots. Uggs are back, if you haven’t already heard, and this is a great way to style them if you unwrap a pair on Christmas morning!

22. Leather Blazer and Beret

Leather blazers have been popular all year, and this will continue into the holiday season! To spice it up, add a wool beret to top off a great outfit, while staying warm. Keep the rest of the outfit fairly neutral, and let the key pieces shine. 

23. Colorful Dress and White Heels

Swap your classic nude heels for something a touch more festive! You don’t have to wear red and green to all your events this season, so try a fun, bright dress and white heels. 

24. Jumpsuit and Heels

Another statement outfit for the holiday season is a black jumpsuit! Pair this piece with fun, sparkly heels and jewelry for a perfect going-out look that isn’t a mini dress.  

25. Sweater and Leggings

For a casual Christmas Day, a striped sweater and leggings channel a French girl vibe while also staying warm and cozy! Add a few cute accessories and a pair of boots for the perfect comfy look.
