Talbots Holiday Styles You’ll Love For Women Over 50
Are you looking for stylish and festive outfits for the holiday season? Talbots has a fantastic collection of holiday looks this year. You’ll find everything from cozy, casual looks to sparkling evening wear. It doesn’t matter if you’re dressing up for a holiday party or looking for comfortable, chic pieces for family gatherings; these Talbots holiday styles are designed to keep you stylish and warm.
Talbots has always been my husband’s favorite retailer. When he had to travel for work, he would try to stop by Talbots and pick up a thing or two for me. He never fails to compliment me when I’m wearing an outfit from Talbots, even though he has no idea where it is from. So, you know I like to wear Talbots, and here are some of their holiday styles you’ll love.
What Are Examples of Holiday Styles?
Examples of holiday styles range from casual and cozy to festive and formal. Here are a few classic holiday looks:
- Casual Comfort: Casual is how I dress most. Cozy sweaters, plaid button-downs, or corduroy pants paired with ankle boots are perfect for a laid-back holiday vibe.
- Sparkling Sophistication: I love adding glam with sequin skirts, velvet blazers, or metallic tops. These pieces are perfect for holiday parties and add an elegant sparkle.
- Classic Festive Prints: Timeless holiday prints like tartan, Fair isle, or subtle holiday motifs (reindeer or snowflakes) are both stylish and cheerful.
- Winter Whites and Rich Colors: Deep greens, rich reds, navy, and winter whites can make any outfit feel more festive. Pair these colors and add some statement jewelry for a chic and polished look.

This bag brings a stylish, practical element to your seasonal wardrobe!
How Do I Style Sequin Skirts for the Holidays?
For the holidays, style a sequin skirt by pairing it with a cozy, neutral sweater to balance sparkle with warmth. Adding classic accessories will help to keep the look polished. Tights and heels work well for cooler weather, while a fitted blazer adds elegance for formal events. For a modern, monochrome look, try matching your top to the skirt’s color, and for New Year’s Eve, go bold with a metallic or satin top and statement jewelry. This combination keeps you festive and chic, making sequins perfect for any celebration.

the black top and tights, with shorter skirt was my favorite for you! looked cute on you! i look but cannot afford, so shop my closet out thrift stores! To God be the glory!
I love the monochromatic sweater and skirt. Very flattering and polished. My favorite of the collection. I love sparkles so anything with a shimmer or a glimmer of shine is fabulous for the holidays.
Winner for my favorite look on you: the cashmere sweater with the short sequin skirt. 🙂
Personally I like a sequin or metallic top with jeans. Or with velvet slacks, if I want to be even fancier.
Nice way to dress up jeans.
Such darling festive outfits. My favorite is the short sequin skirt and black cashmere sweater.
The reindeer sweater is cute. I wish it was a T-shirt because a sweater might be too hot if we have a warm December.
Loving that sweater too
Love that sweater/skirt set.
You look gorgeous in all the outfits. My favorite is the cashmere sweater and short sequined skirt. So darling and youthful on you. Love Talbots!
Love your Talbots fashion show! I already have the grey sweater and matching skirt. I have a stylist at my Talbots to thank for helping me find a skirt that fits me. She suggested a Petite XS which I never would have thought of on my own. Looking forward to your next Talbots blog!
Casual comfort for sure. Take a picture of the tree with your iphone and at the bottom of the photo is the “send arrow” the “heart” and before trash can, there’s a circle with an i (little i)
inside. If that has two little stars then click on it and it will tell you what the tree or plant is. No app to download.
I’ll do that!
I love to dress up! We will have a company Christmas party. All our other events will be casual. I’m hosting Thanksgiving. When I’m busy cooking, etc. I will wear jeans and a light sweater.
The short skirt and black sweater is my favorite! It’s different, classy and just so cute!
I agree with you about the short sequined skirt, black sweater and tights as being my favorite outfit! I like the blue sweater with the reindeer also.
My favorite is the grey skirt and sweater set. They look beautiful on you!
The shorter sequin skirt paired with black sweater and tights looks amazing!!
I think it was my favorite outfit!
I usually dress casually for the holidays as we don’t go to alot of events that require us to dress up.
That herringbone skirt with black sweater and tights is a winner!
So many beautiful items!!! I LOVE the silver top and the loafers 😍 Happy Monday ❤️❤️❤️
The tree in your yard is beautiful! You know that there are plant finder apps that you can install on your iPhone to help you identify plants. You look absolutely stunning in the sweater top and skirt! Because we live a very casual life, I would wear the reindeer sweater if it’s really cold. Have a blessed day!
The grey sweater with matching skirt is beautiful and looks really good on you. I hope you got it. I was surprised that I liked the sequent skirt paired with the black sweater and boot. I also liked the navy reindeer sweater.
Love these finds for the holidays
That sequined herringbone skirt with the black sweater/tights/heels is the cutest thing I’ve seen in a long time. And I believe your tree is a possum haw (hawthorne family). Sometime between now and Feb. you may find that a flock of migrating birds will descend upon it and eat all the berries!
Thanks! I’ll look up the info on that tree.
The gold skirt is very festive
They are all so pretty! I love shopping Talbots!
Great looks today from my favorite retailer. Can’t go wrong with a Talbots outfit. I just purchased the grey sweater and skirt, last week. Can’t wait to wear it for or the holidays.
It is gorgeous in person!
I love Talbot’s quality! Beautiful choices, thank you!
Hope you kept the sweater skirt set it looks great on you!
I do have it!
Cute sparkle loafers!!
