Don’t know where to get started with your new festive outfits? Look no further! We got some of the best festive outfit ideas! Get ready for some silver tights, funky pants for men, and printed button-downs because we’re going all out!
1. Coat and Tie with a twist!
There’s nothing like a man in a coat and tie, but sometimes it can get boring if that’s their only idea for a “festive outfit”. Spice it up by trading in your regular pair of slacks for some metallic leggings! Offset your regular monotone coat and tie with some silver tights and you will surely look extra festive!
2. Neon highlighters but make it fashion
Who said Neon isn’t in anymore? Neon colors are an instant go-to for a festive outfit! But, it doesn’t mean you have to wear a neon top and bottom, you can go crazy and think out of the box for this one. How about a pair of men’s fashion leggings in neon blue, paired with a subtle white or black top? Or some funky pants for men with neon embellishments, be it paint splatters or stitching, neon doesn’t just have to be one big splash of color, it can be subtle or color-blocking. So, go ahead and try it out and see what suits you best!
3. Crazy hats
Accessories can make your outfit look more festive and hip, and nothing says festive like a crazy hat! Take for instance, when some of the British royals get married or have big events, you see a lot of the women coming in wearing grand headpieces, so why not try that? Forget the basic cup or beanie, go crazy and wear a magician’s hat! Being festive is about being out of the norm and exuding celebration!
4. Jazzed up coats
If men’s fashion leggings like men’s fashion leggings aren’t your cup of tea, why not switch it around and put on a coat with print or extra details? Make your look extra festive by wearing a coat with polka dots or a chevron pattern. You can make it extra festive and stylish by wearing a coat with extra embroidery! The possibilities are endless, you can even DIY your coat and add any festive design you want.
5. “Ugly” sweaters
Let’s get one thing straight — there is nothing such as an “ugly sweater”. Sweaters are the most festive thing you can wear! There are a ton of sweaters out there for different occasions and most stores have a lot of different great designs! Make sure that when you are buying a sweater it hugs your body the right way and doesn’t make you look too boxy or bulky. Also, make sure that the sweater you are getting doesn’t have a higher material content of polyester so that it can last longer and doesn’t wear off in the wash.
6. Printed button-downs!
Festivities don’t just happen in the winter, it happens globally even in tropical or temperate areas. Printed button-downs are a great thing to make your basic outfit look more festive! If you’re by the beach there’s nothing like a tropical Hawaiian printed polo to make you not just fit the vibe of the place but make you look extra festive! Pair your printed button-down with men’s fashion leggings or a pair of shorts to complete the whole look!
7. Denim on denim
Now before you raise eyebrows or have your eyes roll, stay with us for this one! Denim on denim was made iconic by the young pop duo of Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake when they donned a couple of denim-on-denim outfits! This until today still has left a mark in the fashion world as both stylish and a fashion faux pa. To make it festive and palatable, you can mix different shades or washes of denim for a heterogeneous look. You can wear a light-wash denim top, with some dark-wash denim jeans for some color-blocking action
8. Color blocking
This style has gone a long way, from wearing a top and bottom in a different color to wearing tops and bottoms that have multiple colors. What’s important is that you can segment your body with different colors while making the whole outfit look cohesive. Pair together a white top with a bright-colored sweater vest with some dark-colored jeans or bottoms and you have a colorful, festive, color-blocked outfit for your next event!
9. Co-ords
We can say in a way that the opposite of color blocking is wearing co-ords! Co-ords or coordinates are wearing a top and bottom of the same color in the same shade or close enough. A lot of A-list celebrities have worn co-ords and have made it work and till today have left a mark in a lot of fashion magazines. Rihanna’s recent Superbowl performance wherein she donned a red jumpsuit with red inners and body plate shows that co-ords are festive and even performance-ready! Lil NasX also donned a famous co-ord outfit, his pink gender-bending cowboy outfit, from the pink wide-leg trousers, button-down, and cowboy hat! Coors should be at the top of your list for your next festive outfit idea!
10. SPARKLES
Nothing says festive like sparkles! The great thing is that sparkly outfits come in so many silhouettes! You can wear a coat and tie covered in crystals or sequence, or a tracksuit covered in glitter! You can go simple with a sparkly shirt and metallic leggings!
Aside from having the needed basics in your wardrobe, don’t forget to save room for some special pieces to build together a festive outfit!
From sparkly coats to coordinated sets, these outfit ideas will surely make you look like the life of the party
