Christmas is right around the corner, and what if you could skip the endless shopping and outfit changes, and instead create a handful of chic looks using just a few key pieces?
That’s where the magic of a capsule wardrobe comes in.
You heard that right. Today I am gonna share capsule wardrobe Christmas outfit ideas. But that’s gonna be a slightly different post.
I won’t provide a list of key items for your Christmas capsule wardrobe. Instead, I’ll share outfit ideas featuring the key pieces.
So, instead of sharing the actual items, I am gonna share tips on what you should look for when you are getting ready for the holiday season.
That means you are gonna find prints, fabrics, and other essential pieces for your holiday capsule wardrobe.
By building a small collection of versatile, timeless items, you can mix and match to create countless Christmas-ready outfits that make you feel confident, cozy, and effortlessly stylish—without breaking the bank or cluttering your closet.
1. Red plaid dress + boots
The first and the cutest outfit idea that you can try is this red plaid dress and high boots. Definitely with accessories.
You are gonna see that plaid print today so many times. That’s because this red plaid print is a great option for Christmas.
It looks very cute and festive. Don’t you think so?
There’s no denying how fantastic high boots look with short dresses. They’re amazing!
The first item to add to your Christmas shopping list is plaid print clothes.
2. White + cream
The next thing you need to look for when you are going for holiday shopping is clothes in white and cream colors.
That’s because they are the perfect colors to match for holiday outfits.
You can look for some white sweaters or dresses, cream boots, some accessories in those colors and so on.
It’s time to add white and cream clothes to your holiday capsule wardrobe shopping list.
3. Red sweater + black shorts
Please don’t tell me you can’t wear shorts in winter.
If you think so, that means you are not reading any of my articles.
You can definitely wear shorts for cute Christmas outfits (not in Alaska, lol). You are just gonna need to wear tights with them.
But the shorts are not what you should add to your list. It’s sequined clothes that should be added.
4. Sequined dress
If you are creating a shopping list with me you already have this in your list.
I just wanted to share some of the ideas you can try.
So for the number 3, I told you to write sequined clothes in your shopping list. If you are not still sure what you should look for, here is the perfect idea.
Look for some cute sequined dresses when you go shopping for Christmas.
I didn’t say why it’s so great to wear sequined clothes for Christmas. But I think it’s too obvious.
Sparkly, shiny, bright things are the best things to wear for holiday. They bring joy to you and other people as well.
5. Black + red
Another combination that you should try for Christmas is the outfit with black and red clothes.
Red is the must-have color for holidays, don’t you agree with me?
But if you want to have a more unique holiday capsule wardrobe the next thing you should add to your shopping list is….
a red coat.
I have so many outfit ideas with a red coat in my mind. There are tons of you can use.
White and red, black and red, green and red are the best color combinations that will pair with Christmas perfectly.
But you definitely can try whatever you like to try. The main thing for Christmas is to always feel happy and joyful.
In case you need more motivation and help with your confidence, here is my article about boosting your confidence when creating outfits for any occasion.
Along with the red coat I wanted to recommend getting sparkly tights for Christmas.
So, the next items you should add to your Christmas capsule wardrobe are a red coat and sparkly tights.
6. Silver + white
We are continuing our Xmas outfit ideas and the next thing I want you to try is this sheer sequined top with a beautiful bra top.
But agree with me, this outfit will not look good unless it’s silver and white.
I am not gonna say silver clothes are must have for Christmas, but if you love them, they are perfect for the holiday.
7. Two piece set
I shared some color combos that I think match perfectly with Christmas.
But this time, I want you to consider getting at least one two-piece set for a holiday capsule wardrobe.
They are the best for creating the easiest modern holiday outfits.
In case you love this idea, look for the colors I am mentioning here for a perfect two-piece set.
So, this time we are adding a two-piece set to our shopping list.
8. Tweed clothes
You can feel more nostalgic by wearing tweed clothes for the holiday season.
It’s a warm fabric that can make you feel very cozy and comfy. Plus it has become pretty popular lately.
I won’t add this to our capsule wardrobe for Christmas outfit ideas because you should choose between red plaid and tweed clothes.
So, if you choose one or another it’s gonna be enough to create outfits with it.
9. Cardigan + jeans
Today’s article is all about Christmas outfit ideas. I told you about this at the beginning of the article.
I love mentioning my favorite outfit ideas and I have to say this is the one.
There is nothing special to this outfit. I just love how this cardigan pairs with the Christmas season. It adds some holiday vibes to the outfit.
10. Blazer dress
Here is the next thing you may need to add to your shopping list.
That’s a blazer dress. You are gonna find another sequined blazer dress in the next idea.
But if you already have some clothes with glitter and sequins, it’s definitely okay to get a regular blazer dress for chic Christmas outfits.
So we are adding a blazer dress to our shopping list.
11. Sequined blazer dress
We already talked about blazer dresses above.
There are so many options you can choose from. You can make perfect holiday outfits with them.
But I wanna talk about accessories here.
Accessories are the most important thing in the outfit. They have a huge impact on the whole look.
So, when you are going shopping, consider getting some accessories as well.
12. Red plain dress
Here is another cute plaid dress that is perfect for Christmas. It matches the holiday perfectly.
Don’t you think so?
13. Crop top + jeans
I am the one who wears crop tops for the whole winter, and I feel healthy if you wonder.
So, if you are going to tell me crop tops are not for winter, because it’s cold I don’t care anyway.
Crop tops are great to pair with light wash denim pants.
In the best case, you should choose red, white, green, and cream colors that complement holiday outfits.
14. Sweater dress + Chelsea boots
Let me be straight.
I want you to add Chelsea boots to your shopping list. They are versatile on cold winter days.
Chelsea boots are perfect for creating modern stylish holiday outfits.
Firstly, a sweater dress is not only stylish and comfortable but also keeps you warm during the chilly holiday season.
The combination of a cozy sweater dress and classic Chelsea boots is perfect for either casual gatherings or more formal holiday events.
15. Red overalls
Before I tell you anything, I have to say I am crazy in love with this outfit idea.
Should you add red overalls to your Christmas capsule wardrobe shopping list? – I don’t know.
Would I do it? – yes!! Absolutely.
16. Sweater + mini skirt
This is my other favorite of Xmas Day outfit ideas for today.
Outfit with a red sweater and a plaid mini skirt looks so cute and festive. It feels so happy and joyful to look at.
Now, in case you don’t have a red sweater in your closet, I would say it’s a must to add it to your shopping list.
If you want to appear more festive during the holidays, a red sweater is the easiest choice you can make.
17. Green + pink
I don’t know if that means anything to you but this year I decided to decorate my Christmas tree in pastel colors.
I think that was my inspiration to share this cute outfit with you.
Green and pink are unique colors that can pair very well. They will be perfect for Christmas as well.
If your Christmas tree is decorated in pastel colors, a pink sweater will answer the question of what to wear on a Christmas day.
So this time you can add a pink Christmas sweater to your shopping list.
18. Pink scarf + jeans
Don’t you think this outfit looks too cute? – I do.
When you are in celebration mode, it’s always a good idea to wear colorful outfits like this one.
It just expresses your feelings better.
So, if you are building a deep winter outfits capsule wardrobe remember to add some unique accessories to it.
19. Blazer + sequin skirt
In case you are looking for a dressy Christmas day outfit, I think this is the one.
Personally, I am in love with blazers. If you are my reader you would know that.
Should you add a blazer to your holiday capsule wardrobe shopping list? – absolutely!
Should it be black? – NO!
When you are getting ready for the holiday season, it’s a better idea to invest in a blazer with some color.
The black blazer is perfection but still. Make things better and look more festive with brighter colors.
20. Green skirt + sheer top
Here comes my favorite outfit.
Christmas is the perfect time to try satin or just other slip dresses or skirts. They look very cheerful in outfits.
If you pair the satin skirt with a sheer top that’s gonna be level up.
It will be a perfect dressy Christmas outfit that you can wear to an office Christmas party or any casual holiday gathering.
21. Christmas sweater + jeans
If you still don’t have a Christmas sweater and you are getting ready for the holiday season, I would say a Christmas sweater is a MUST.
You can pair it with anything: jeans, suit pants, skirts, leggings, etc.
22. Sweater dress + boots
This is another very basic but elegant Christmas outfit you can try this year.
For this, you are gonna need a red sweater dress that you are gonna pair with boots.
Now for the boots, I think you have some in your closet. If you are on a budget and you need boots, I still go for ankle boots.
They are essential in my wardrobe.
23. Mini skirt + long coat
You can make an amazing outfit with a mini skirt and a long coat. You just need to pair the right colors for the season.
I love this outfit because it has a perfect balance of lengths.
If you want to discover more about balancing the outfit with the right way, here is my article that will help.
We already have a long coat in our shopping list, so this time we are not adding anything to it.
24. Skirt + oversized sweater
I said you will see this plaid print many times today. And here it is…
Agree with me it looks so lively in the outfit.
You can pair the mini skirt with an oversized sweater. Tuck it halfway to the skirt for a more flattering look.
This outfit looks so cozy and comfortable.
25. Red coat + jeans
There is nothing special in this outfit. Everyone can make it.
You are just gonna need a long coat as we mentioned a few times already.
This outfit looks pretty casual but you can make it look classier. For this, you can just swap denim for dress pants.
26. Furry clothes
The whole family of us is in love with teddy jackets and faux fur clothes. I think they make the outfit look so expensive.
But you know what?! I think those clothes with fur are perfect for Christmas.
They add that cushy, relaxing vibes to outfits.
27. White midi skirt
If you want everyone to look at you, while you are walking down to the streets this is the Christmas outfit you should wear.
To make this outfit, you are gonna need a white midi skirt, a white sweater, a cream faux fur coat, and boots. Plus some cute accessories and you are done.
I think this outfit will be perfect for either couples’ Christmas photos or a son and mom’s Christmas photoshoot. It looks just so cute.
So, now we are gonna need to add that white midi skirt to our shopping list.
You can see the list of the things I recommended here for a perfect Christmas capsule wardrobe at the end of the article.
28. Slip midi skirt + sweater
I already mentioned the slip midi skirt but I just wanted to share another idea about how you can style it with a sweater.
You can wear this outfit as a dressy Christmas outfit and wear it wherever you want to.
29. Blazer + boots
Here is another idea of how you can pair a blazer and a sequin skirt together.
Also, this is how you can wear high boots with a mini skirt for a perfect Christmas outfit.
This one would be the perfect dresssy Christmas day outfit.
30. Pencil skirt + shirt
You need this to rock the Christmas outfits for everyday.
I already mentioned how amazing sequin clothes look in everyday Christmas outfits. But I am in love with this idea.
If you like that too, you can create a similar outfit by wearing a sequin midi skirt and a white shirt together.
And if you don’t have any sequined skirts in your closet, it’s time to add one.
And that was everything I wanted to share for today.
