Our Best Advice for Putting Together Cute and Classy Christmas Outfits
When putting together Christmas outfits that are both cute and classy, we suggest blending classic holiday styles with a few modern trends. Red and green are a MUST for the season, and it’s totally possible to rock these colors in a non-cheesy way. Just look for pieces that combine your favorite silhouettes with the festive hues, like this red polka-dot scarf top or this retro green velvet jumpsuit.
GWS Tip: For something a little more subtle, you can also swap out bright reds and greens for a trendier burgundy or emerald!
Not much of a color person? Channel twinkle lights instead of Christmas trees with timeless silver or gold outfits. These dazzling shades never fail to capture that holiday magic, especially when paired with some seriously on-trend sequins.
How to Style and Accessorize Your Christmas Outfit
‘Tis the season for accessorizing! As the most glamorous and chilliest time of the year, layering is a requirement when styling Christmas outfits. To make your festive look weather-appropriate without sacrificing on style, we’re currently loving faux fur jackets and trendy scarf silhouettes. Even if you’re just bundling up for the short trek from your car to the holiday party, you might as well make it cute!
As for your legs, tights are a must-have in the winter, especially if you’re rocking a shorter hemline. This year, take the cozy layer to the next level with a pop of color (red is a no-brainer!) or an on-trend pattern, like lace or animal print. Styled with embellished pumps or chic knee-high boots, it’s equal parts practical and stylish.
And of course, no holiday outfit is complete without a little sparkle. Pair any and all of your cute Christmas outfits with rhinestones and bold gems, like these statement earrings or these stackable birthstone rings (also one of the best Christmas gift ideas!).
Now for our list of the best Christmas outfits for every style — don’t forget to check it twice!!
