The focus of my ultimate holiday party edit was to give you options that are comfortable but also stylish.

You want to celebrate in style this season, but also feel comfortable in your holiday best, am I right?!

Here is your ultimate edit for holiday party outfit ideas and how to look chic and comfortable at your holiday party or event this season.

How to Wear a Sequin Skirt For the Holidays

One of my favorite ways to elevate a holiday outfit is with a sequin skirt. There are so many ways to style a sequin midi skirt. If you’re wondering what to wear with a sequin skirt, the possibilities are endless.

I love a sequin skirt paired with a bright and festive red sweater, or for a more elegant holiday outfit idea pair it with a cashmere sweater.

I own and love this Sezane red sweater and I have several of the Quince cashmere sweaters. Both of these are part of my winter capsule wardrobe this year.

Another way to style a sequin skirt is with a white button up. This would be a great outfit idea for a work holiday party.

Paired with black kitten heels and a black bag.

How to Style Metallic for the Holiday Season

One of the most consistent themes for holiday style outfits is adding a bit of metallic to your wardrobe. It’s a simple way to elevate a black outfit for a holiday party.

The easiest way to add metallic to your outfit is with a pair of heels. I love these silver slingback kitten heels for the holiday season. These gold heels would also be a addition to your closet. Timeless and chic.

How To Find The Best Outfits for Party

  1. Start with comfort and fit

If you’re fidgeting and pulling on your dress all night, or your outfit requires impossible amount of tape and spanx, you won’t feel your best and you won’t have a chance to relax and enjoy yourself.

2. Add a little pop

If you’re not the type to go full sequence, adding a little sparkle whether it’s in a shoe, a necklace or even a pant with other neutrals can be a great way to showcase your holiday spirit.

3. Don’t be afraid of color

While a LBD is safe and always appropriate, don’t shy away from embracing the colors of the season. There isn’t a better time to wear a bright red dress or play with emerald hues than this time of the year. Consider creamy whites also, just don’t drink red wine while wearing them!

4. Stay work appropriate

Sure it’s your time to shine, but that doesn’t mean all etiquette goes out the window. Super short hemlines might be fun for a New Year’s soiree with friends, but going ultra short, or revealing too much on top isn’t the way to go here.

When in doubt, a little black dress with shiny or colorful accessories is a solid and classic standby, but if you’re looking to bring a little sass and  excitement, check out these holiday party outfit ideas and get inspired to sparkle this season.
