10 Holiday Outfits That Will Make You Sparkle

Holidays outfits are so much fun because they are a chance to go all out and wear that unique, surprising piece that you absolutely love. This list adds a dash of sparkle to your holiday outfits to help you make sure to catch the lights!

1. Be Monochromatic

A great way to streamline your holiday outfit is to choose different textures in one festive hue, like gold! The mix of soft velvet and big, bold sequins below is classy, sexy, and oh so chic. Play with length depending on your party destination, or throw on a blazer and stockings to keep you just a little warmer this season.

2. Frame Your Face With Sequins

Keep all the attention around your face with a sparkly, sequined top. Go with longer sequined sleeves, layer with a simple black or white tea underneath, or layer with a festive print if you’re feeling bold. Below this sleek and chic holiday outfit is paired with a soft, feminine tulle skirt and nude pumps for some sugar plum fairy vibes.

3. Sequins, But In A Print

Yes, you can do sequins AND a print AND a sequined print! For festive fun that’s hard to ignore choose brightly colored sequins in a fun pattern. Below, this statement dress is paired with a black blazer and simple black heels to give the dress all the attention. For inclement weather, choose tall black boots, stockings, and a long black coat. This look is sure to make you stand out like the star you are.

4. Color Match With Your Accessories

Wearing a sequined piece doesn’t have to be the only fun part about your holiday outfit! Go for a festive color to add a bit of pop, then match it to your accessories to keep the visual interest from head to toe. This holiday outfit plays with green as an accent in the necklace and shoes, and as a focal point in the sequined skirt. Make sure to stay keen to the green by choosing all white up top, but feel free to use a little texture like some faux fur or the subtly metallic coat pictured here.

5. Go Sheer

Have you ever wondered how to be cute and sexy at the same time? Try a whimsical sequined skirt on the bottom, and add a little sexual intrigue by going sheer up top. To keep that sweet little mystery going, pair your sheer blouse with skin-colored fabric, or go with a black or white layer underneath to collage with the colors in your look. Rest-assured that stockings and a coat won’t take away from this look at all, instead, they will only add to the depth of the layers and textures used here. The tall black boots below make this look not only practical, but bold.

6. Surprise With Shorts

This holiday outfit look is all legs! Go business casual up top with a crisp white shirt and a black blazer, and then wow on the bottom with sequined shorts, festively colorful or not. Sleek black velvet or satin will keep you looking classy, while sassy sequined shorts will draw all the attention to your amazing legs. Keep the eye going all the way to your toes with sheer black stockings and simple black pumps. Make sure to choose black suede or a matte black pump so as not to detract from the leg line at all. Voila: sexy, surprising, cool.

7. Throw On A Statement Duster

This creative holiday look says it all by combining a festive velvet skirt, delicate white feathers, a small metallic clutch, and a statement duster. The balance of the colors and textures in this look is achieved by focusing the outfit on the statement duster. The white top accents the lighter colors of the duster, while the green skirt picks up the jewel tones. A gold clutch adds some shine, but also highlights the subtle sheen of the coat. Rev up the volume a little with a sequin duster, or spoon on the elegance with a metallic pattern as pictured below. What a lady!

8. Dress It Up

For a night out, go big with all over sequins. A bright color will have you shining brighter than all the lights as you dance the night away. With a low V-cut mini dress, you’re sure to have a holiday honey swooning, but maybe you just want to feel sexy and powerful as you ring in the New Year single and strong! Either way, this rebel girl is keeping things punky and practical by choosing a sturdy pair of combat boots for her night out. Nobody is stepping on her powerful toes.

9. Cool Girl Casual

Holiday outfits don’t have to mean uncomfortable, impractical, or über fancy. If your crew is a little more casual, keep it cool in a t-shirt and comfy shoes, and keep it festive with that sequined skirt! If you opt for a simple t-shirt, a statement necklace would pair nicely and dress your look up, especially with some handsome tomboy oxfords. If you opt for a graphic tee, remember that you can go for festive words or images, or just choose your favorite tee because you’re chilling anyway. Throw on a chunky sweater for colder weather and have everybody wondering: why didn’t I think of that?

10. Cool Girl Class

I’m sorry, this look just went total tomboy chic in SEQUINS. How did that happen? This angel from cool girl heaven chose to wear a long sequined dress with the ultimate long blazer and chunky suede boots. By rolling up the sleeves of your oversized blazer, you can show off those amazing long-sleeved sequins. A little bow at the waist and a nice V-cut accentuate the body, but if you want some modesty, add a flesh-colored layer under your dress. Go with more casual footwear if that’s more your speed. No accessories required here!
