It’s Holiday Styling season, and holiday style is my favorite! Here are some great holiday sweaters at all price points and some ideas on styling them.

 

I love adding a festive sweater to a basic outfit – whether subtle or over-the-top festive. Here are some ideas that range from subtle to festive, with a few styling ideas to inspire your holiday outfits!

 

8 Different Ways to Put Together Holiday Outfits With Sweaters

1. Wear your neutral holiday sweater with a red coat

If you have a holiday sweater that’s more neutral (which is fantastic for wearing long beyond the holidays), make it feel a little more festive with a red or green coat!

2. Try a monochromatic festive look with your holiday sweater

I love this cream on cream look that’s perfect for a chic holiday party or for the office, but you could recreate it with any color! Black, red, tan, navy, green, gold…anything!

3. Pair your kitschy holiday sweaters with chic pieces

This sequin reindeer sweater borders a little bit on “kitschy,” but you can absolutely make it chic with a great pair of pants and shoes!

4. Choose a holiday sweater for those cold weather festive activities!

If you’re heading to a classroom party, going Christmas shopping, or running holiday errands, you can throw on a cute holiday sweater under your puffer coat! Add a beanie if you need even more warmth.

5. Try your holiday sweaters with your pajama pants!

A cute or cozy holiday sweater can always be dressed down a bit with some cute holiday pajamas! Great for lounging at home.

6. Even non-holiday sweaters can feel festive and dressy!

This is a very non-traditional holiday sweater, but it’s the prettiest blush pink with sparkles, and feels very festive and elevated when paired with a velvet skirt and shoes, and some holiday earrings!

7. Wear your holiday sweaters with coated or leather pants

An easy way to elevate any holiday sweater is to pair it with coated jeans! They have the leather look, but they’re much more comfortable. These would be great for the office, for a casual holiday party, or even for an elevated everyday look!

8. Create an elevated holiday look with an elevated holiday sweater

This is another non-traditional holiday sweater, but it’s so chic and makes a very festive and elevated outfit for the holidays and beyond. You could dress it down with jeans, but it’s gorgeous with a sequin skirt and stilettos for a dressy holiday occasion.
