As I prepared for a recent Holiday photo shoot (which took place in early October), I found it challenging to capture the essence of “Christmas” in my outfits. However, I did discover many pieces that exuded a “holiday adjacent” vibe – festive, with pops of red, and slightly more elevated than my usual denim and scarf look. If you’re already contemplating what to wear for Thanksgiving or the upcoming holiday season, here are some adorable holiday outfit ideas. While I typically opt for holiday sweaters over formal attire, these outfits offer a more transitional and effortless style.
This dress has gained popularity for a reason – it features wide sleeves, pin tuck pleating around the waist, and pockets, making it flattering and easy to wear. The plaid design caught my eye, adding a festive and fun touch that can be styled for various seasons.
This versatile dress is available in various colors, patterns, and fabrics due to its popularity. It can be dressed up for a formal occasion or dressed down with a chambray shirt and flats for a casual look. Its easy-to-wear design makes it a go-to option for different settings.

This fair isle sweater is a solid choice, albeit a bit on the pricier side. It offers a soft and comfortable fit, suitable for transitioning from fall to winter, not just for the holiday season. Luckily, it’s currently on sale. The classic and neutral design of the sweater ensures its longevity, unlike traditional Christmas sweaters. I paired it with the Bella Wide Leg jeans from Quince, which are incredibly priced at $50 and provide a fantastic fit. The Vince Camuto boots add a touch of western flair to the outfit.
The Colette pants from Anthro are a popular choice available in various colors and styles. The ruffled design adds a playful touch to the outfit, creating a flowy and fun look. Paired with a menswear-inspired shirt from Old Navy and mesh leopard ballet flats from Dolce Vita, the ensemble offers a chic yet comfortable style.
The skirt featured here is a versatile piece that can be styled for fall, harvest, Thanksgiving, or Christmas. Paired with a cozy sweatshirt from Gap, the outfit exudes a casual yet stylish vibe. To elevate the look, you can also pair the skirt with a T-shirt or a white button-up shirt.
