There is so much to love about the holiday time: from sharing gifts to decking the halls with Christmas decor. And, of course, the parties.

The parties, whether they be with friends, co-workers, or family, are spread across the months of November and December. It’s fun to see friends and family that we rarely see throughout the year. But what to wear to these events?

Best Christmas Outfits

There is a way to dress for the season that’s equal parts festive and chic, no matter your plans.

 The key is to take aspects of clothing you love and incorporate a festive spin—like silky fabrics or sequin dresses and dance-floor-ready heels—and put them together without thinking too hard about it.

Pass on the ugly sweater and scroll below for the best Christmas outfits to spread holiday cheer.

The high-low combination of simple black trousers with the sparkle top is a perfect work party outfit.

You can even swap the combination – sequin trousers with a simple top.
