And just like that, it’s holiday party season—the festive grand finale of the year. And whether you’re going to one party or 10, you may want to shop for some new fancier-than-usual things (that you can still wear post-party season, of course) and find some fancier-than-usual outfit ideas to wear with them. Luckily for us, the fashion girls of Instagram have been documenting their festive winter looks, and, boy, have I got some gems to show you.
Because not all holiday parties are created equal, some of the outfits I chose for this roundup are ultra fancy, while others are more casual. But the commonality among all of them is that they’re festive and they’re elegant. Elegance has been the throughline of many trends (and outfit trends) this year, and that theme is likely to continue through party season. So let’s do some outfit planning, shall we?
