The holidays are such a fun time to add a little glitz and glamour to our wardrobes. While we might not include such elements in our closet year-round, the lead up to Christmas presents the perfect opportunity to incorporate luxe textures and whimsical motifs into our holiday looks.
The season practically begs us to add touches of velvet and satin, and sequins and shimmery metallics for eye-catching sparkle. Gorgeous jewel-toned hues like cranberry red, forest green and sugared plums reign supreme this time of year. And little details like ribbons, bows and ruffles keep looks playful to match the merry vibes of the season.
Whether you’re dressing up for your office holiday party or seeking little ways to elevate a casual look as you celebrate the holidays at home with family and friends, we’ve rounded up a few fully shoppable Christmas outfit ideas to inspire your next holiday ensemble. And there’s not a single “ugly sweater” in the bunch, we promise!
Of course, we’ve kept price in mind too, with picks that won’t absolutely bust your budget. You might even be able to snag some last-minute holiday deals if you act fast!
Plus, RetailMeNot shoppers can snag up to 12% cash back at stores like Macy’s, Target and Old Navy this holiday season. So be sure to sign up and sign in to stack those savings before we jump into these holiday-ready fashions.
