5 Simple Holiday Party Outfits

The holidays are quickly approaching and that means PARTIES! I personally don’t have a ton of parties to go to (I’d rather have a snuggly night in with close friends and family haha) but soo many of you have asked for holiday outfit ideas, so I thought I’d get a little creative this season and come up with a few for you using pieces in my closet I already own.

Outfit #1

This first look is more a business casual outfit that I can see myself wearing to a more corporate company party. If you’ve got any of these closet staples in your wardrobe, you can pull together this look! I’m wearing a simple black shift dress and an oversized blazer on top. Since its winter, I’ve paired it with some sheer tights and heeled boots to complete the look. I accessorized with minimal gold jewelry to add some sparkle to the whole outfit.

Outfit #2:

This is probably my most festive outfit since I’m sporting a very bold wine red blouse from OhSevenDays. This outfit features a multi-way wrap blouse that I’ve tucked into a pair of black trousers, completed with the same pair of heeled boots. The blouse is clearly the star of this outfit simply because it’s such a bold colour. But what draws me to it are the beautiful, billowy sleeves! (P.S. I have a discount code for OhSevenDays if you’re interested - O7DWINTER19)

This is fairly similar to what I’d wear on a daily basis, a shirt tucked into high-waisted bottoms, but for the holidays I like that it’s “fancied up” a touch! For accessories, I’m wearing the same minimal gold chain necklace to emphasize the nice neckline of the wrap top.

Outfit #3:

Playing with the "faux jumpsuit” idea in this outfit. I think you can never go wrong with an all-black look for any occasion. It’s simple, chic and comfortable to wear and I’m all about hassle-free outfits. I made a faux jumpsuit by tucking in a black ribbed turtleneck into a pair of trousers. For a warmer climate, I added a pop of colour by pairing this look with my olive mules. But if you’re in the cold tundra like me, then a pair of boots is probably your best bet for this outfit!

Outfit #4:

I’m playing with the little sweater tuck trick I’ve been seeing on the internet lately — thanks to Jess With Less for this tip! I cropped this knit over a black pleated dress and finished the look off with some tights to keep warm and yes, the same boots. I went a little more dressy with the accessories and decided to pair this outfit with pearl hoop earrings from Mejuri. I’m not usually into dresses unless it’s for a wedding or fancy occasion, but I like that this outfit still has a bit of me peeking through in the neutral colour palette.

Last but not least, I have a classic 90s-inspired outfit for ya! This one involves a simple summer slip dress layered on top of a fitted turtleneck. It really does the trick for styling a summer staple in the winter while staying warm! If you have a slip with a more festive colour, that’d be perfect for the holidays. I only have this in my wardrobe, so I decided to use what I have! I completed the look with some heeled boots again because it’s cold haha!

Alright, those are all outfits I have for you! I hope these wintery holiday outfits give you a bit of inspiration this season to experiment with pieces currently in your wardrobe. Let me know if you decide to recreate any of these looks!
