It’s a well-known fact that the holiday season, and the celebrations that go with it, often call for a more formal dress code than we’re used to. That being said, not all of the season’s festivities require a party dress and a pair of stilettos. For those more casual occasions, such as an office gift exchange or a celebratory dinner with your crew, a holiday party outfit with jeans will be the perfect approach.
While you may think that a pair of jeans is too casual for the event, hear us out. With the right pieces, your outfit will be ready for nearly any holiday occasion (with the exception of a cocktail or black-tie party, of course). To illustrate our point, we’ve rounded up stylish outfits that are appropriate for the most festive of holiday gatherings. With these It girl–approved ensembles, you’ll have an endless amount of looks to wear throughout the season. Scroll down to see them all.
