What To Wear To A Christmas Party
When planning your holiday season outfits, we love to think about party outfits that balance style, comfort, and festive flair. This includes everything from what dress to wear to a christmas party, to holiday party shoes, and even layering options to keep cozy on the dreaded walk to and from the car :)
We’ve broken our recommendations into categories so you can find the perfect look for your Christmas parties this year!!
Outfit 1: Sparkly & Casual Holiday Party
Julie: Zara Strapless Knit Jumper & Rhinestone Jeans
This outfit is a little more casual, so it’s great for a more relaxed friend get together or casual work holiday dinner. I am wearing the Zara Strapless Knit Jumper in plum, paired with the Zara TRF Ripped Wide Leg Rhinestone Jeans!! The deep jewel tone color feels festive, while the rhinestone detail adds that holiday sparkle!! These jeans are so much fun. I finished the look with silver rhinestone heels and a metallic clutch. Love this outfit!
Krista: Zara Semi-Sheer Sequin Blouse & Wide Leg Jeans
Krista is wearing a Zara Semi-Sheer Sequin Blouse (SO pretty!), paired with Zara ZW Collection Wide Leg Low Rise Jeans. She finished the look with some classic black pointed toe heels and a black clutch. This outfit is also a bit more casual, but her top and bag really dress it up!
Outfit 2: Cute & Classic Holiday Dresses
Julie: Zara Short Balloon Sleeve Dress
I am wearing a Short Balloon Sleeve Dress from Zara which is so timeless and cool! I added these polka dot Berkshire Hosiery Sheer Pantyhose from Kohl’s, some tall black boots, and a silver clutch. I’m obsessed with this look! So easy but looks so put together. Could definitely wear some heels to make it even more formal.
Krista: Zara Feather Satin Effect Short Dress
Krista’s dress is so flirty and fun! We love that feathers have become a statement for holiday clothes! She paired it with the same pantyhose, LC Lauren Conrad Hydrangea Women’s High Heels, and a black clutch. This outfit is so chic and festive! Perfect for a cocktail event.
Outfit 3: Glittery Statement Party Looks
Julie: Chicos Art Deco Dolman Sequins Tee & Feathered Pants
More feathers in this outfit, and we’re not mad about it!! I am wearing the Chicos Art Deco Dolman Sequins Tee and Chicos Juliet Feathered Flared Cropped Pants. The sequins and feather details give tons of festive flair! I paired this outfit with some strappy gold heels and a fun clutch. Perfect for literally any holiday occasion!
Krista: Sequins Party Pencil Skirt & Metallic Heels
Krista paired her Chicos Sequins Party Pencil Skirt with a cable knit sweater, some Vinia Metallic Rope Block Heels, and a chunky gold chain necklace. So pretty and comfortable! We could see this being an amazing work party outfit.
Styling Tips for Christmas Party Outfits
When you’re putting together Christmas party outfits, comfort and layers are everything! You’re probably bouncing between indoors and outdoors all night, so pick holiday shoes that look cute and won’t destroy your feet. Layer up with a lightweight jacket or even a top under something sparkly. It will keep you warm without making you too warm. And don’t forget the accessories! A metallic clutch, simple jewelry, or a jewel-tone scarf can instantly take your outfit to the next level!!
