Whether you're curling up at home with a hot cocoa or heading out to a holiday party, these styles will help you look and feel wonderfully festive throughout the season.

Cozy Sweater and Maxi Skirt

Wrap yourself up in the warmth of a chunky cable knit sweater; festive colors and patterns make the best choice! Pair it with a maxi skirt that flows gracefully with every step you take. Top it off with classic ankle boots and a strand of pearls to tie together the rustic charm of winter knitwear with a touch of festive elegance.

Velvet Joggers with a Cashmere Hoodies

Nothing feels softer on your skin than velvet and cashmere, and nothing looks better than pairing a deep jewel tone with a soothing and subtle neutral color. Try matching a deep burgundy or emerald green with a cream or gray, and make those plush textures pop with some chunky gold jewelry.

Sequin Cardigan and Jeans

Dress up your comfy cardigan with some glimmering sequins to dd a festive touch to a simple, comfortable tee and your favorite jeans. Pair with soft ballet flats to keep your feet just as happy as your spirits, and accessorize for winter with sparkly drop earrings that frame your face.

Festive Jumpsuit

Step into comfy jumpsuit with a festive print or a bold color like deep green or rich red. Layer it with a faux fur vest for an added layer of warmth, and add an opera-length pearl necklace to accentuate the length and cohesion of the jumpsuit.

Knit Dress and Thigh-High Boots

Embrace the holiday spirit with a body-hugging knit dress: go for a classic black, or branch out into prints and jewel tones. Complement it with a pair of sleek suede thigh-high boots, a matching clutch, and chunky accessories. It’s perfect for holiday seduction!

Plaid Shirt with a Puffer Vest

This look comes straight from a Hallmark holiday movie. Layer a classic plaid under a cozy puffer vest, on top of fleece leggings and study duck boots. Pair it with minimalist jewelry that compliments the tones of the plaid’s colors.

Embroidered Cardigan and Wide-Leg Trousers

Start with wide-leg trousers in a soft, warm fabric like corduroy or wool, and top it off with an intricately embroidered cardigan. Let the sweater do the talking in this outfit, and keep the trousers simple-yet-coordinating. It’s great with quirky, vintage jewelry to highlight the flair of the sweater.

Fleece-Lined Leggings with an Oversized Sweater

When you’re ready to lean hard into the comfort side of things, nothing beats a warm pair of leggings and a chunky, oversized sweater. The combinations here are endless: you can go with simple black leggings and a loud sweater, or a patterned legging with a solid top, or any mix you like!

Tulle Skirt and Graphic Sweatshirt

This outfit combines two contrasting textures for a striking ensemble. The soft, billowy tulle skirt with the contemporary appeal of a graphic sweatshirt; it’s playful! And the sweatshirt can spread any message you’d like, from a punny holiday message to a peaceful winter scene. Pair it with ankle boots to keep the look grounded and practical.

Corduroy Mini Skirt and Turtleneck

On top of tights and knee-high boots for extra warmth, pair a richly textured corduroy mini skirt with a sleek turtleneck. This look is most striking when you go for bold-yet-complimentary colors, and avoid prints. It’s got a retro vibe, and it can go well modern, minimalist silver jewelry.
