Between colder weather and darker evenings, this time of year can get pretty gloomy—but the one silver lining to it all? The holidays and all the glitzy outfits they inspire. Starting with cozy knits and warm fall colors for Thanksgiving and going right through to New Year's Eve (and its sequin-mandatory dress code), it's a fun time for getting dressed. And if you're looking to add a few new pieces to your wardrobe in time for a jam-packed calendar of events, I'm here to help.
Pick up a soft sweater for casual affairs, like family brunch or your friend group's secret Santa gift exchange. When the invite calls for glamour, go all out with a twinkly tube dress. Stock up on fabrics like satin or velvet to make any ensemble feel instantly fancy. From versatile slip dresses to glittery jumpsuits to statement tops you can dress up or down, these 20 holiday outfit ideas cover all the bases; plus, because everything is from Target, it's all actually affordable.
'Tis the season, after all. A sequined jumpsuit might not be the most practical purchase for year-round wearing, but if you're on the hunt for something special, it's definitely a show-stopper.
If you still need to find something for your Friendsgiving dinner, you can't go wrong with a silky midi skirt you can wear with your comfiest sweater.
With its seasonally appropriate pumpkin color and roomy silhouette, this knit dress is pretty much my ideal Thanksgiving outfit.
For casual family affairs, style this sleeveless sweater vest with your go-to jeans for a laid-back look that's still put-together.
This shimmery tube top mini is basically the Y2K dress of our dreams.
Trade in sequins for 3D ruffles with this cropped tie-back tee that's guaranteed to make a splash no matter what you wear it with.
If your Thanksgiving dinner is on the fancy side, pair this burgundy slip dress with strappy heels for an easy outfit.
Presenting the perfect cozy sweater, complete with a kelly green color and ribbed turtleneck. We predict it'll be a mainstay of all holiday-themed movie nights.
Swap your jeans for chocolate brown flares—decked out with a buckled closure—and make any ensemble look instantly cooler.
Having a versatile dress you can style a million different ways to suit various dress codes will come in handy—and this one is less than $40. Sold.
If traditional colors are starting to feel a little boring, switch it up by incorporating this moody teal option in place of all the emerald tones.
For family dinners or brunches that require a more covered-up ensemble, we love this asymmetrical number with teeny tiny cut-outs. It's simple but not stuffy.
No holiday wardrobe would be complete without a fun party jacket, and this autumnal corduroy one is at the top of our list. Wear it over delicate slip dresses for maximum contrast.
Pop a statement blazer or structured jacket over this turtleneck mini dress to make it office party-ready. (It also comes in red, if you want to be a little more on the nose with the dress code).
Because a statement coat is just as important as the outfit itself. This structured pick is guaranteed to keep you toasty as you make your way through the party circuit this season.
Give your winter whites some edge with a leather-like corset that's cropped enough to wear with anything high-waisted in your closet.
This one-shoulder top makes a great alternative to all the red and green of the season but is still dressy enough to wear to a holiday dinner—just be sure to add plenty of jewelry for the requisite bit of sparkle.
Not feeling a sparkly dress? Switch it out for a stretchy midi that has glittery flecks built into the fabric.
If there's anything more lush than a velvet midi dress, I have yet to see it. This ruched style has a high neck for an extra touch of elegance.
Take inspiration from The Nutcracker with a tulle top that's just as festive as any shiny counterpart.
