Plus Size Holiday Outfits for Every Holiday Occasion

The holidays are all about the end-of-the-year parties you have with work buddies, your best friends, and your family. It’s so much fun to get dressed up and celebrate the holiday season with new looks. The holidays are all about rich fabrics, jewel tones, and sparkly pieces that make you shine just like a Christmas ornament. With the outdoors around us being decorated in festive lights and decorations, it only makes sense that our clothing matches our surroundings.

Pop some bottles, grab your sparkliest heels (or boots if it’s too cold for the toes to show), and dress up in these festive, plus-size holiday looks. So, instead of worrying about what you're gonna wear, you can focus on which holiday party you'll be headed to next.

Not sure what to wear? Don't stress! We've compiled a list of our favorite holiday looks, perfect for any occasion this season. All you have to do now is embrace the holiday spirit!

Velvet

Nothing says holiday luxe quite like velvet. It feels so lush, plays with the light so well, and is reminiscent of an absolute icon of the holidays — Santa himself. This luxurious fabric hugs your curves in all the right places, and you’ll feel festive and ready to go to every holiday party you’ve been invited to. Check out all of our favorite velvet looks.

Matching Sets

Hear us out: comfy pajamas, but sparkly and party-ready. While we’re always in the mood to get dressed up, sometimes we want a more chill look while still being in a festive spirit. Enter matching sets.

Holiday favorites like velvet and sequins are perfect for matching sets as they elevate the look to something special. Our favorite sets are perfect for parties and you’ll stand out in these chic looks.

Sequins

You absolutely cannot have holiday parties without some type of sequin action happening. Even history agrees, and believe it or not, you can see sequins being used hundreds of years ago. We’d hate to stop a long-living trend like that, so we’ll happily continue the tradition of wearing sequins to parties.

Sequins are easy to dress up and dress down, and they are the epitome of holiday dressing. You’ll shine and shimmy under the sparkly lights and all eyes will be on you as you dance the night away (maybe under the mistletoe?).

Fun Feathers

We’ve been loving the feathered look recently. It adds just the right amount of something extra to an outfit without looking like you are trying too hard. Feathered trimmed pieces are so chic, and they give a fun texture to elevate an outfit. They are flirty and fashionable and are the perfect touch for your holiday looks when you want to look festive, but may want to avoid being too sparkly.

Elegant Looks

While the holiday season absolutely calls for shine and sparkle, sometimes you want an elegant and understated, but elevated look. Plus, while you may have plenty of options to carry you through the holiday season you’ll also need options for any other parties that may pop onto your calendar during other times of the year.

Elegant looks transcend any time and place, and you’ll be the person everyone wants to be around with your amazing fashion sense. These are some of our favorite elegant looks that will take you to parties no matter what time of year it is.

Cozy Holiday Jackets

All of your holiday looks are meant to be shown off; how else are you going to end up on everyone’s timeline? Going from party to party means that you’ll need to be covered up during the journey so you can stay cozy and warm. Plus, we love the drama when you take off your jacket and reveal the amazing outfit underneath.
