12 Bold Holiday Outfit Ideas
Hi fashionistas!
'Tis the season, and you've got a lot on your plate! As you juggle your holiday preparations and commitments, make sure you set aside time to plan your outfits.
When it comes to holiday style, it’s easy to default to the classics—velvet, sheers, sequins, and the tried-and-true colors like black, red, green, and metallic. They’re a great starting point, but if you’re ready for a seasonal wardrobe remix, I have assembled 12 tips that will help you add a dose of edgy, unconventional flair into your holiday style.
Rethink your holiday hues. Swap your typical black, red, and green outfits for the lively palette of purples, pinks, and blues. This unexpected change will bring a fresh and playful vibe to your holiday style.
Play with prints. Stripes, polka dots, animal prints, and winter florals are amazing for making a festive style statement.
Make a pantsuit power play. Ditch the little black dress and rock a pantsuit in champagne, aqua, or salmon. Pair with a sexy top, and sparkly accessories.
Honor your culture through style. Let your wardrobe tell the story of your heritage with traditional garb or prints.
Mix and match your separates. Revamp fancy separates with new combinations of tops, bottoms, blazers, kimonos, shrugs, and accessories.
Elevate casual vibes with tailored denim. For less formal events, pair luxe denim jeans with a cute top or camisole, a statement blazer, and tasteful oxfords or cool sneakers. Complete with festive accessories.
Join the gleam team: The color silver is having a HUGE moment right now. If you’re looking to take your shimmer and shine game to the next level, consider mixing metals. Pair silver with yellow gold or copper. It’s a bold look that’s meant for those who want to turn heads.
Try a little metallic minimalism: If “heavy metal” is too bold for you, accessorize elegantly with subtle metallic accents. Choose one or two elements like a shimmering clutch and belt, or a pair of metallic shoes and statement earrings, or a metallic eye or nail color. A little sparkle goes a long way.
Combine textures: Combine textures like velvet with tulle, leather with denim, or corduroy with silk. It’s a surefire way to amplify your look and leave a lasting impression.
Unleash your inner Snow Queen. White and winter white, when done right, speak volumes. Take the risk and revel in all the attention you’ll be getting.
Lease your holiday chic. Clothing rental services make it easy for you to sample new styles and designers without the long-term commitment. Try Rent the Runway, Nuuly, Armoire, or Gwynnie Bee.
Rediscover the hidden treasures in your closet! Resist the urge to shop and instead, wear what you already have. Shop your closet and unleash your inner stylist. Pull out the pieces you typically save for a “special occasion” and get to work.
No excuses. You now have several outfit ideas that will have you looking festive and fabulous!
Embracing holiday style is a great way to add some adventure to your wardrobe. If you haven’t already started planning your holiday outfits, this is the perfect time to get to work.
