  • On Christmas, you have to ramp up your style to 11.

As Christmas Eve nears, we start to see people putting up their decor and setting up their wish lists. It’s a festive time as everyone is excited to gather with close friends and family for the long-awaited Noche Buena. As such, it’s only fitting that we look our best for this annual get-together. We’ve come up with a list of outfits warm and fuzzy as the season.

Channel the inner flannel.

Flannel is more than just your lumberjack’s go-to outfit, it’s a state of comfort. Something about its relaxed pattern just yells, “Come share hot cocoa with me!” Whether worn as a shirt, dress, or cozy pajamas, flannel seamlessly blends rustic elegance with casual appeal. This makes it ideal for family gatherings, festive outings, or a cozy night by the fireplace.

Full-on sweater weather.

One of the best parts about the Christmas season is how the cool weather allows us to play around with layers. It’s the ideal time to bring all our long-sleeved outfits out of the closet—sweaters reign supreme as the essential long-sleeved outfit for the holidays. Choose between either a plain fit with neutral colors or go crazy with wacky patterns or tacky designs. Around this time of year, there are plenty of stores that sell “ugly” Christmas sweaters to amplify the cheery nature of the season.

All white’s all right.

White has always been associated with all things pure. It’s the perfect color to sport during this solemn season. For those living in colder climes, white outfits also work well as they capture the winter wonderland vibes perfectly. Plus, wearing all white leaves many possibilities for accessorizing. Treat yourself like an empty canvas, waiting to be adorned with pins, badges, bracelets, and more.

Red and green for the true holiday experience.

Red and green outfits are the epitome of Christmas cheer, embodying the traditional colors of the season. Red symbolizes warmth, joy, and festive passion, evoking the jolly spirit of Santa Claus. Meanwhile, green mirrors the evergreen trees and signifies hope and renewal. Together, these hues create a visually harmonious palette that captures the essence of holiday tradition.

Accessorize, accessorize, accessorize!

Nothing screams holiday joy more than putting on accessories that remind us of the Yuletide season. Think reindeer horns, Santa hats, elf shoes, and so on! It’s a playful way to have fun on Christmas and you’re sure to stand out in the crowd by putting on such little trinkets.
