I saw some of you loved my “New York Fall Outfits” article, so now I decided to share NYC Christmas outfit ideas with you.
Spending the holiday season in New York is literally my dream. I love NY Christmas vibes, decorations, and how happy people look while walking.
But, yeah you are right.
We are not here to talk about me.
We are here to discover the best and most festive NYC December outfit ideas.
Let’s begin!
Candy Cane colors – Red and White Outfit
Starting with one of my favorite NYC Christmas outfit ideas.
Dressing for the holiday season is not only about taking pictures in front of Christmas decorations.
It’s about looking and feeling festive all around the season.
When you are creating a Christmas capsule wardrobe, it’s better to go for colors that are relevant to the season.
I would avoid wearing black clothes for a while because, let’s admit, they do not bring us joy on holiday days.
White and Cream
Not only white and red are Christmas colors. There are actually many of them you will find here.
The next great color combination for Christmas that you can try is cream and white clothes.
You can wear your cozy sweatpants (or some casual pants) with one of your favorite white sweaters.
Then you will need a long warm coat for a cozy, comfy look.
Red dress
The next thing you can wear for a NYC Christmas outfit is a red dress.
It has a high potential for Christmas.
First, the vibrant color red embodies the festive spirit of the holiday season.
It brings to mind images of twinkling lights and festive decorations. The red dress perfectly complements the energy of the city during this time.
Whether you’re attending a holiday party, exploring holiday markets, or simply taking in the magical sights of the city, a red dress makes a bold statement.
Pairing a red dress with cozy accessories like a stylish coat, warm tights, and chic boots can create a stunning and practical look that keeps you comfortable while still looking festive.
Plaid Coat and Dress
I already mentioned how you can wear a red dress in New York.
And here is the next outfit idea with a red dress and a plaid long coat.
By the way, a plaid print is a perfect choice for Christmas.
Do you know why I think plaid print is such a great choice for Christmas?
It just has that cozy, festive vibe!
The traditional red and green colors really bring out the holiday spirit, making everything feel more cheerful and inviting.
Plus, plaid has this timeless quality that instantly gives off a warm, homey feeling, like snuggling up by the fire with hot cocoa.
Whether it’s in clothing, decor, or even wrapping paper, it just screams “holiday season” to me.
Don’t you love how it can look both chic and casual at the same time?
Green sweater
I know I said you don’t have to wear black for Christmas outfits but I think it’s okay to go for black pants (only).
You can make the outfit look more festive by adding some cheerful colors.
For example, you can pair black leather pants with a green sweater and some boots.
Or you can change the green to red, white or cream.
Just make sure you are not wearing everything black.
Colorful Sweater and Jeans
And here is the next example of how you can pair bright color sweater with black pants.
When I meant to pair any color to the black jeans or pants, I meant every single color that brings joy to the outfit.
Embellished Dress
Christmas is the best time to get as sparkly as you can. That’s not only for Christmas Eve.
You need to shine every day to catch that perfect holiday spirit.
What I am trying to say is embellished, sequined, or other sparkly clothes are not only for cocktail parties or weddings.
They are the perfect choice for the perfect NYC Christmas outfit.
These kinds of outfits can instantly elevate your look, making you feel festive and joyful as you walk through the beautifully decorated streets or sip on hot cocoa.
Plus, NYC is known for its vibrant energy during the holidays, and wearing something that glimmers and shines can really help you stand out in the crowd.
Think about all the twinkling lights and dazzling decorations around the city—it’s the perfect time to embrace a little sparkle in your own wardrobe.
So go ahead, add some shimmer to your NYC Christmas outfit, and enjoy all the festive vibes that come with it!
Sweater Dress with Tights
Wearing a sweater dress with tights is always a great option for Christmas.
First off, it looks chic and stylish.
Then the outfit looks very cozy and comfy. That’s what pairs with the Christmas season perfectly.
And another reason why you should wear a sweater dress is that you can easily layer the outfit. You can wear whatever you have in your wardrobe.
Puffer jacket, long trench coat, plaid coat, leather jacket – I mean, everything.
You just need to be careful with balancing the prints and the colors. If you’re not sure what I am talking about here is my article about mixing and matching wardrobe items the right way.

There is nothing special to the outfit but the most important thing is it’s perfect for Christmas.
Sparkly Dress with a Coat
Wearing a sparkly dress with a coat in NYC is such a fantastic idea!
First off, the city is known for its vibrant nightlife and glamorous events, so a sparkly dress lets you shine.

NYC can get chilly, especially when the wind picks up, and having a stylish coat not only keeps you warm but also adds a layer of sophistication to your outfit.
Plus, a coat can be a great way to play with textures and colors, making your look even more interesting.
Combining a sparkly dress with a chic coat gives you the best of both worlds: you’re ready to dazzle while staying cozy.

It’s just perfection.

I also love the idea of wearing a red coat for Christmas outfits.
You can pair anything with it.
Red coat outfits definitely add a touch of sophistication to holiday outfits.
You can pair the same color boots with a red coat. Adding some accessories like a cute beret hat, gloves, and handbag will be perfect.
Ankle Boots with a Black Coat
Along with the red coat I mentioned above, you can also wear a black coat sometimes.
Red Fur Coat with Beanie
I love this look. But as you probably guessed I would change my black top and pants to something brighter.
Remember, it’s Christmas. It’s all about joy and happiness.
Plaid Skirt with a Sweater

Stand out from the crowd and wear a red A-line skirt and a cute Christmas sweater together.
I mean, first of all, red is such a festive color—it just screams the holiday spirit! Plus, when you throw on a cozy Christmas sweater, it really amps up the whole look.
And let’s talk about comfort! A-line skirts are super flattering and easy to move around in, which is perfect for when we’re exploring the city, checking out the Christmas markets, or even ice skating.
I love that I can pair it with cute boots for a casual day or dress it up with some heels if we’re heading to a holiday party.
Honestly, it’s the perfect combo of fun, festive, and practical for enjoying all the holiday magic in the city!
