This blog post is all about Christmas outfits and whether you are looking for just Christmas outfits 2022 or Christmas outfit ideas, it’s all here.
Just like I wrote for the Thanksgiving dinner outfits blog post, I know everyone’s Christmas eve is different, some are more dressed up, and others are all the way chill and comfy. Mine is more on the comfy side, but my sisters and I make it something in between because it’s our chance to wear something sparkly. And that is actually something I love about Christmas outfits, is that you get to be a bit over the top and add some shine and all the glitters you don’t get to wear the rest of the year.
So let’s get into it, and whether your Christmas eve is on the dressy, casual, or in-between side, I would love to give you some outfit ideas that would help you look amazing and empower your confidence.
ALL THE GLITTERS CHRISTMAS OUTFIT
I had so much fun searching for Christmas outfits on Pinterest, so I could come up with the ones I think are the best. There is just so much joy in an outfit with the right amount of sparkles. Even outfits that look way too formal still carry this cozy and cute feeling just because they are about Christmas.
I think an all sequins or beads “gown” suit can either look stunning or a bit over the top, but! I would totally consider it if your Christmas eve dinner is on the dressy side. The ones I found just look absolutely amazing, and if I see a good set in a store, I am totally going to take the time to try it on.
Another way to look dressy without going all sparkles during Christmas is wearing a shiny midi or maxi skirt with an oversized or a bit long blazer on top. I would experiment with adding a thin shiny belt that matches but doesn’t compete with the skirt, and I would wear a sweater or a cool collar blouse underneath, depending on how chunky I want the whole outfit to be.
One more kind of Christmas outfit I saw in my research was liquid-looking fabrics with a lot of shine. This approach is a different way to shine other than sequins and beads, and probably more comfortable. And with this option, I would go all the way with similar fabrics that are not necessarily the same tone or color but go together somehow, like monochrome fabrics. Another way I would wear a shiny fabric like that would be with a cozy sweater, the skirt or pants are all shiny and liquid-like, and the shoes and the bag would be all sparkly too.
SEMI-CASUAL CHRISTMAS OUTFITS
For a more semi casual Christmas outfit, I would actually just take inspiration from the dressy section above and just tone it down. Like the cozy chunky sweater with a sparkly skirt would be something perfect but maybe with more comfortable shoes or a mini skirt instead of a maxi.
Another Christmas outfit I would love to wear for this would be sparkly pants that are kind of baggy tucked-in booties and a top that is very light and flowy, like maybe those cardigans that are sheer and would have to be the same color as the pants not to break the outfit. I will try to find an outfit like this so I can show you what I mean. I made an effort to visualize it with the collage above, this Christmas outfit looks amazing, and it’s giving me some boho vibes during winter!
Going for a classic outfit can never be wrong, so if you are a bit afraid of sequins and all the glitters you see on Pinterest, I would go for classic looks and just modernize them a little. And if you are feeling festive, I would add some golden eyeshadow or that little extra detail that makes the outfit a bit more special. Here are some options I put together for more classic but festive looks.
CASUAL CHRISTMAS OUTFITS
I am looking at the options that I put together for a casual Christmas outfit, and I have to say, I might go for something like this.
There are so many pretty shiny cardigans that all I have to do is wear my usual jeans and t-shirt outfit and put that instant cardigan on.
Let’s wear our favorite jeans for another casual Christmas outfit and get that amazing shiny or glittery top. Then, work on our hair and makeup, wear our comfy boots or sneakers, and believe me, the top, hair, and makeup will do all the work without anyone noticing how comfortable you are. I found these long sleeve t-shirts at Free People, and I am in love with them so much that I had to add all these three colors below. When I first saw this t-shirt, I thought it was such a cool way of layering a t-shirt, and it is all one piece. I think this t-shirt is such an easy and super cute way to create a Christmas outfit for a casual evening. My favorite one is the black color, but the off-white option has all the Christmas vibes and joy.
Finally, I keep seeing these glamorous-looking pajamas worn with high heels or furry slippers that definitely look like a special day. This look doesn’t feel like me, but, wait… I actually getting the vibe now. Okay, if you give this kind of outfit a try, I would love to see it. Here are some options I found that look amazing.
Whether you are looking for inspiration for the actual Christmas eve dinner with your family or a Christmas party, I hope you have some ideas for your next Christmas outfit and all the Christmas outfit ideas.
I hope you enjoy the outfit ideas I bring. I love that balance between choosing timeless pieces and looking modern and on-trend.
