Your Style Guide to Holiday Party Outfits For Women

The holidays are officially here - which means it’s time to sparkle, sip, and celebrate in style. Office parties are being planned, mistletoe is being hung in questionable locations, and your inbox is full of “festive dress code” invites that all somehow mean something different. Whether you’re showing up to your work holiday party ready to impress the boss, joining friends for an all-night Christmas bash, or making your grand entrance at a cozy dinner where you “accidentally” outshine the tree - your outfit sets the tone.

This year’s fashion forecast? Comfort with a twist of glam. Think womens bodysuits that hug in all the right places and women’s long faux fur coats so soft they might as well come with a “Do Not Disturb” tag. The goal: look like a goddess, feel like a marshmallow cloud, and pull off that effortless “Oh this old thing?” energy (even if it took an hour, three outfit changes, and one mini meltdown).

At SpiritHoods, we believe that the right holiday party outfits should make you feel bold, beautiful, and a little bit mischievous. So grab your cocoa, cue the Mariah Carey, and let’s build your dream lineup of holiday party outfits - from classy to cozy, sparkly to downright jaw-dropping.

Holiday fashion rule #1: if you can’t breathe, sit, or eat peppermint bark in it, it’s not your outfit. This season is about sparkle and stretch - pieces that let you toast, twirl, and maybe even nap between courses.

The textures of the moment for holiday party outfits are - velvet, faux fur, sequins, lace, and satin - are your secret weapons. A velvet bodysuit paired with a long flowing skirt gives you Old Hollywood elegance without sacrificing comfort. Throw on a Leopard Print long faux fur coat and suddenly you’re the main character in a romantic snow-globe fantasy.

For something a little more “cozy-cool,” layer a soft knit with a SpiritHoods faux fur jacket. It’s the fashion equivalent of a hug - cruelty-free, sustainable, and guaranteed to earn compliments from strangers (and possibly jealous cats).

Styling tip: Create balance. If your top is blindingly sparkly, pair it with sleek trousers. If your dress is simple, pile on the statement coat, earrings, or boots. Think yin, yang, and champagne glass.

Bonus inspo: Try a red velvet dress with a white and cream faux fur coat and metallic heels. You’ll look like you just stepped off the North Pole runway.

Ah, the work holiday party - that magical night where Karen from accounting turns into a karaoke queen and everyone pretends to like eggnog.

Finding the perfect work holiday party outfit means walking the fine line between festive and professional. You want to show you have style - just maybe not that much style.

Go for velvet jumpsuits or satin wrap dresses in deep jewel tones like emerald or burgundy. These shades pop in photos without screaming “I raided an ornament box.” Add a faux fur wrap or collared coat to keep things elegant and warm. And if you’re feeling bold, throw in metallic heels or statement earrings that whisper “promotion energy.”

Style tips:

• If it’s a sit-down dinner, go for a dress you can comfortably breathe in (the dessert tray waits for no one).

• Add festive sparkle with accessories - gold hoops, a metallic clutch, or even glitter-tipped nails.

• Keep heels medium and manageable; there’s nothing glamorous about limping into Monday.

• Transition from desk to dance floor with ease. A fitted lace bodysuit under a blazer during the day? Business. Lose the blazer and add a faux fur jacket at night? Instant party.

And remember: confidence is your best accessory. That and knowing when to walk away from the copier-karaoke duet.

When it comes to Christmas party outfits for women, subtlety is officially on vacation. ’Tis the season for shimmer, statement textures, and looks that say “I showed up to sleigh.”

This year’s big trend is eco-glam - bold style that’s cruelty-free and kind to the planet. Think faux fur, sustainable fabrics, and pieces that feel luxe without guilt.

Outfit ideas to try:

• Classic elegance: Lace or satin bodysuit + high-waisted skirt + collared faux fur coat.

• Retro glam: Red sequin mini dress + long white faux fur coat + red lip.

• Modern minimalist: Fitted full velvet jumpsuit + sleek gold accessories.

Pair any of these with a smile and a glass of bubbly, and you’re golden.

Now for the spicy section. Whether it’s a candlelit date, a girls’ night out, or a secret-Santa situation that suddenly feels… romantic - the sexy Christmas party outfit is your power move.

Sexy doesn’t mean showing everything; it means showing confidence. Picture a full velvet bodysuit with a high-waisted skirt, topped with a faux fur coat so dramatic it could star in its own telenovela.

More ideas:

• Mesh or lace bodysuit + tailored pants + heels. Smart, sleek, unforgettable.

• Backless satin dress + cropped faux fur jacket. A little mystery never hurt.

• Mini dress + over-the-knee boots. Sleigh bells? You’re the whole sleigh.

Pro tip: Glow is the new glitter. Add shimmer lotion to shoulders, décolletage, and legs for that “lit from within” look. Warning: you may accidentally steal focus from the tree.

Some people wait all year for the holidays just so they can wear sequins - and honestly? We get it. There’s no such thing as too much sparkle in December. This is your time to shimmer unapologetically, twirl dramatically, and remind the room that glitter is basically a neutral. Make this year's holiday party outfits shine!

SpiritHoods’ faux fur sequin long coats and kimono robes are the ultimate showstoppers. They combine the luxury of plush faux fur with the glitz of full-body shimmer - turning every hallway, office, and dance floor into your personal runway.

• For the bold: Slip into a sequin faux fur long coat that catches the light with every move. Pair it with your favorite velvet full bodysuit or high-rise satin pants for a dramatic, “I run on starlight and espresso” vibe.

• For the cozy-glam type: Our sequin kimono robes bring the sparkle without the fuss. They’re flowy, comfortable, and perfect for an at-home holiday soirées or New Year’s Eve lounging (champagne in hand, obviously).

• For the minimalist who still loves attention: Try layering a sequin kimono over a simple slip dress. It’s effortless, elegant, and gives strong “disco goddess who recycles” energy.

Whether you’re lighting up a room or just lighting a candle, these sparkling pieces remind you that confidence isn’t quiet - it glows.

So don’t save your sequins for New Year’s Eve. Wear them to brunch, to wrap presents, or even to the grocery store. (Someone has to make aisle five fabulous, and it might as well be you.)

Not every holiday moment involves stilettos. Sometimes the best nights are spent wrapped in blankets, surrounded by loved ones (and snacks). That’s where the cozy-cute outfit comes in.

Our faux fur robes, slipper booties, and animal print loungewear were practically made for Christmas morning. They’re soft enough to sleep in, chic enough for photos, and ethical enough to make Santa proud.

Pair a cozy luxury robe with leggings and a messy bun for “effortlessly fabulous.” Or go for joggers and a fitted turtleneck topped with a faux fur shawl for low-key luxury.

Extra credit: Match your faux fur throw blanket to your robe. Yes, it’s excessive. Yes, it’s worth it.

This season, the hottest accessory is a clear conscience. Sustainable holiday fashion isn’t just trending - it’s timeless.

Every SpiritHoods piece is crafted with cruelty-free, PETA-approved faux fur and OEKO-Tex certified fabrics that are safe for you and the planet. We produce in small batches to minimize waste, and 10% of net profits go straight to helping endangered species and their habitats. And some of our styles are even made to order. So when you wear your favorite faux fur coat, you’re literally helping protect wolves, snow leopards, and other wild beauties.

Sustainability tips for holiday dressing:

• Choose versatile staples you can rewear. (That velvet bodysuit? Date-night gold.)

• Rent or restyle instead of over-buying.

• Invest in quality - faux fur lasts season after season when properly cared for.

Being kind never goes out of style - and neither does looking incredible while doing it. 

Accessories are the seasoning of holiday party outfits style - sprinkle generously. Statement earrings that catch the twinkle lights? Yes. A clutch that doubles as an emotional-support glitter bomb? Absolutely.

Some favorites this year:

• Gold hoops or crystal drops for instant sparkle.

• A metallic belt to cinch that faux fur coat.

• Chunky rings and layered necklaces for an elevated vibe.

And if you’re stepping outside, wrap up with a SpiritHoods faux fur hood or shawl the kind of cozy that makes strangers ask where you got it.

Beauty tip: a red lip and glowy skin can transform any look. Add a swipe of highlighter and suddenly you’re “just naturally radiant.”

At the end of the day, fashion is about joy - that little spark that lights up when you slip into something that makes you stand taller, smile wider, and maybe even toss your hair like you’re in a snow-globe music video.

Because here’s the truth: the holidays aren’t about perfection - they’re about presence. It’s not whether your eyeliner wings match (they won’t) or if your shoes are practical for icy sidewalks (they aren’t). It’s about showing up - as yourself - and celebrating every part of who you are.

So whether you’re dancing under disco lights, sipping cocoa by the fireplace, or strutting into your work party pretending not to notice you’re the best-dressed person there… wear something that makes you feel alive.

Maybe that’s a soft faux fur robe that wraps you in warmth after a long day. Maybe it’s a long, elegant faux fur coat that commands attention when you walk into the room. Or maybe it’s a sparkly sequin dress that says “Yes, I am the moment - and I also brought cookies.”

And when you walk out the door this season - in your velvet, your shimmer, your SpiritHoods - remember: the best accessory you’ll ever wear is your energy. Your joy. Your spirit.

So go ahead - shine, flirt, laugh too loud, and take up space in every room you enter. Because you don’t need holiday magic to glow… you already are the magic.
