Festive Holiday Outfits from Chico’s You Can Wear All Season Long
There is something about December that makes getting dressed feel a little more fun. Maybe it is the twinkle lights, maybe it is all the family gatherings, or maybe it is because I know I can sneak in an extra cookie or two and blame it on “holiday spirit.” Whatever the reason, I love pulling together outfits that feel special without being fussy, and Chico’s has been knocking it out of the park this season.
Before we dive in, Chico’s is having a 50% Off Holiday Sale that ends tonight, December 10th, so if something catches your eye, you might want to take a peek sooner rather than later. A lot of what I’m wearing today is not part of the sale, but there are plenty of gorgeous pieces that are, and I’ll include a widget so you can shop those easily.
A Classic Holiday Red You Can Wear Almost Anywhere
There is something about a red top during the holidays that just makes you feel a little more alive. Maybe it is the season, maybe it is the lighting, but red always brightens my face and makes me look more awake than I actually am. If only it worked that well on Monday mornings.
This whole outfit is easy, festive, and comfortable, which is pretty much my holiday trifecta. The bow sweater gives you that dressed-up look without any effort, and the color is rich and cheerful without veering into “costume.”
I paired it with Girlfriend Straight Ankle Jeans, which have the kind of fit I wish every pair of jeans had. They skim the body instead of clinging to every lump and bump, and the straight leg is flattering on absolutely everyone. This is the outfit you grab when you want to look nice but still feel like yourself.
And those satin bow heels… well, they’re the cherry on top. Slip them on, and suddenly your outfit looks intentional, not accidental.
Bow-Detailed Sweater
This Bow-Detailed Sweater is such a pretty option for the season. The bow gives it a soft, feminine touch, and the knit has just enough weight to drape nicely without clinging in the wrong places. I love that the neckline draws attention upward, which is always a plus since I might have eaten one too many cookies. I’m wearing a medium, and it fits true to size.
Why it works:
- The red brightens the face and photographs beautifully
- Bow detail adds interest without feeling overwhelming
- Doesn’t cling to the midsection
- Easy to wear casually or dressier
Red Satin Bow Heels
These Satin Slingback Heels look far more expensive than they are, and they truly make the outfit. The satin finish catches the light, and the bow adds such a pretty touch for the holidays. They’re true to size and surprisingly comfortable for a heel. Since this exact pair is almost sold out, I’ll share a couple of similar options as well.
Why they work:
- Instantly elevates a simple jeans-and-sweater outfit
- The bow detail feels fun and festive
- Pointed toe elongates the legs
- Perfect holiday shoe at a great price
An Elegant Black Blouse That Feels Special Without Trying Too Hard
There is something about chiffon that makes an outfit feel elegant, even when you pair it with simple Ankle Jeans as I did here. This look is perfect for those evenings when you want to look pulled together but not overly “done up.” The black keeps everything sophisticated, the flow of the top adds movement, and the straight-leg jeans from the first outfit balance it out beautifully.
If you’re the type who wants a holiday outfit that doesn’t sparkle, blink, or light up when you walk, this one is right up your alley. You can wear it to dinner, a concert, a Christmas program at church, or anywhere you want to look nice without committing to sequins. Classic, comfortable, easy, my favorite kind of combination.
Chico’s Travelers Chiffon Burnout Bubble Hem Top
Even though this exact version is sold out, the leopard print option is just as striking and gives you that same elevated, evening-ready vibe. The chiffon sleeves feel light and floaty, and the bubble hem keeps the silhouette neat without needing to tuck or fuss. I love that it skims the midsection instead of grabbing on, making it easy to wear to dinners or events where you might enjoy a little extra dessert.
Why it works:
- Sheer sleeves add instant elegance
- Bubble hem creates a polished shape with zero effort
- Doesn’t cling to the midsection
- Works with jeans, black pants, or a skirt
- Leopard print option is equally chic
Susan Shaw Pearl Cross Necklace
I layered the Multi-Strand Pearl Cross Pendant Necklace with the top, and it completely transformed the outfit. Pearls brighten the face and add a soft glow, and this piece makes a beautiful statement without feeling heavy. It is one of those necklaces that looks good with absolutely everything, from casual sweaters to dressy blouses like this.
Why it works:
- Pearls add light near the face, flattering in every photo
- Layered strands feel elegant and modern
- Cross pendant adds meaning and visual interest
- Makes any outfit feel more put together
A Luxe Velvet Look That’s Perfect for Holiday Gatherings
Velvet always feels a little indulgent, especially during the holidays, and this teal set is no exception. The minute I put it on, I felt like I should be heading to a special dinner or a Christmas party. It has that rich, elegant sheen without being fussy, and the matching tank and pants make getting dressed incredibly simple. You look polished, but you feel like you’re wearing loungewear. That is my kind of holiday magic.
To finish the look, I added the velvet burnout kimono. All of those deep jewel tones and textures play so beautifully together, and it gives the outfit some movement when you walk. If you ever want to look like you made a real effort without actually making a real effort, velvet is the way to go.
Chico’s Travelers Velvet Side-Slit Tank and Matching Velvet Pants
This Velvet Side-Slit Tank is almost sold out in the teal, but it is still available in other gorgeous colors, and honestly, every shade feels elegant. The velvet is soft and drapey, and the side slits keep it from feeling boxy. I love that it glides over the body instead of clinging.
The matching No Tummy Pants keep the look cohesive and intentional. The velvet drapes beautifully when you walk, and the relaxed fit feels comfortable without looking sloppy. This is a great option for holiday events where you want to look dressy but stay comfortable for the whole evening.
Why it works:
- Soft velvet adds instant sophistication
- Side slits create flattering movement
- Doesn’t cling to the midsection
- Works under jackets, cardigans, and kimonos
- Available in multiple beautiful colors
Velvet Burnout Kimono
This Burnout Kimono Jacket is the star of the whole look. The mix of patterns, colors, and textures gives it a luxe, artistic feel. It moves beautifully, adds warmth without bulk, and makes even a simple outfit look special. If you’re traveling for the holidays, this is the kind of lightweight layer that transforms multiple outfits without taking up much suitcase space.
Why it works:
- Adds drama and movement
- Rich jewel tones pair well with neutrals and other colors
- Lightweight but makes an impact
- Dresses up basics instantly
A Rich Velvet Look That Travels Well and Always Looks Polished
If you’ve got a holiday party, a special dinner, or even a long travel day coming up, this outfit is a lifesaver. Velvet has a way of looking luxurious no matter what, and Chico’s Travelers Collection makes it even better because it simply doesn’t wrinkle. You can sit for hours, get up, smooth your top, and still look like you just walked out of a dressing room. That is my kind of fabric.
This velvet set is every bit as comfortable as it looks, and the Night Bloom color gives it such a rich, elegant feel. The Velvet Side-Slit Tank drapes beautifully without clinging, and the side slits help it move with you instead of bunching or pulling.
The matching Velvet No Tummy Pants glide right over the body and have that smooth waistband that keeps everything looking neat. Together, they create a long, uninterrupted line that is incredibly flattering. This is an outfit you can wear for hours, on a plane, in a car, or at a holiday party, and still look put together the moment you stand up.
Travelers Collection Velvet Burnout Kimono
This Velvet Kimono ties the whole outfit together. The pattern, the colors, the texture, it all works beautifully with the Night Bloom velvet. It adds just enough movement and interest, and it’s lightweight enough to wear indoors without overheating. A piece like this is ideal when you want to add impact without wearing heavy layers.
Why it works:
- Adds instant drama and elegance
- Lightweight but makes a big visual impact
- Pairs perfectly with both the teal and Night Bloom sets
- Dresses up even the simplest foundation pieces
