15 Cute and Modest Holiday Outfits To Copy

Modest holiday outfits are where it's at if you're looking to dazzle this festive season. I’m not talking about being a walking, talking Christmas tree, though a dash of sparkle is always a win. Nope, we're diving into looks that are as modest and classy as they are show-stopping.

Ready to get inspired? Take a look at these 15 cute and modest holiday outfits that you’ll want to copy this season: 

Outfit 1: The Classic Red Sweater and Mom Jeans

So, first things first, let's talk about a classic go-to outfit for the holidays — the red sweater and mom jeans combo. The red sweater screams festive while keeping it super classy. Pair it with some high-waisted mom jeans, and you're comfy and stylish. Add some ankle boots and a simple pendant necklace, and you're ready for any holiday gathering, from cookie decorating with the fam to a casual office party.

A bonus about mom jeans: they give us that vintage vibe, and who doesn't want to feel a bit nostalgic during the holidays, right?

Outfit 2: Midi Skirt and Ankle Boots

Okay, next up is one of my personal favorites — a midi skirt paired with ankle boots. Now, hear me out; midi skirts give you that lovely, flowy feeling without going overboard. Go for a wintry print or a jewel tone like emerald or sapphire. The ankle boots add a touch of edginess and bring balance to the whole look.

A midi skirt also has the advantage of letting you move around freely. Because, you know, you'll need that freedom for the holiday activities and traditions that might be making an appearance.

Outfit 3: Turtleneck and High-waisted Slacks

On to outfit number three, the turtleneck and high-waisted slacks. I'm so here for this look because it's perfect for when you want to keep things professional but still give a nod to the holiday spirit. A soft, cream-colored turtleneck brings warmth to the outfit, and then go bold with the slacks. A lovely forest green or even a subtle plaid?

What I love about this look is that it effortlessly transitions from day to night. Pop on some statement earrings or switch to a bold lip color, and you're evening-ready in no time.

Outfit 4: The Velvet Jumpsuit

If you haven't joined the jumpsuit craze yet, now is the time. A velvet jumpsuit provides a texture that screams holiday luxe. Go for a darker shade like navy blue or deep red for a more dramatic look. Since it's a one-piece, it takes the guesswork out of matching tops and bottoms.

The velvet jumpsuit is like the fashion equivalent of a holiday shortcut. You look pulled together without all the fuss. Plus, it's like wearing a stylish blanket. Cozy and chic? Count me in.

Outfit 5: The Layered Look with a Pinafore Dress

For the fifth outfit, we're talking layers, specifically layering with a pinafore dress. Start with a long-sleeved striped tee, a Halftee,  or even a turtleneck. Throw on a cute pinafore dress over it, and you've got a playful yet modest outfit that works for various holiday scenarios.

You can play around with the colors here: maybe a mustard pinafore to pop against a black turtleneck, or keep it neutral with grey and white tones. Pair it with knee-high boots for some extra warmth, and you're good to go.

Outfit 6: Boho Maxi Dress with a Belted Cardigan

Number six on our list is for those who love a good Boho vibe — a maxi dress with a belted cardigan. Choose a maxi dress in a warm color or something with a floral or paisley pattern. Then, layer on a chunky cardigan and cinch it at the waist with a belt. The belt adds a touch of sophistication and structure to the relaxed Boho look.

I like to call this look "Boho Chic with a Holiday Twist." It's like you're keeping summer alive in your outfit while embracing the holiday season.

Outfit 7: The Button-Down and Sweater Vest Duo

Alright, listen, sweater vests are back, and they're fabulous. Get yourself a crisp white button-down shirt and layer a patterned sweater vest over it. Think argyle or a cute winter-themed pattern. Pair this with dark jeans or tailored pants, and you have a preppy, pulled-together look that's just the right blend of casual and formal.

The best part about this look is its versatility. You can swap out the sweater vest for different patterns to keep it fresh throughout the holiday season.

Outfit 8: The Shirt Dress with a Twist

We're coming in hot with outfit number eight — the shirt dress. But wait, we're adding a twist. Wear a narrow belt around your waist and layer a calf-length coat over the dress. The coat gives it a more structured look, perfect for fancier holiday occasions.

The shirt dress is like the perfect canvas. It's simple, comfortable, and super customizable. You can add pops of color with accessories or keep it monochromatic for a sleek look.

Outfit 9: Cowl-Neck Sweater and Pencil Skirt

Up next, we have a classic but often overlooked combo: a cowl-neck sweater paired with a pencil skirt. The cowl neck adds a touch of elegance while keeping you warm, and the pencil skirt brings in the sophistication. Go for a sweater in a lighter shade and a skirt in a darker hue for some nice contrast.

This outfit is your go-to for those "I have a holiday party right after work" scenarios. It's office-appropriate but still ready to party.

Outfit 10: The Wrap Dress and Ankle-Length Coat

Outfit ten — the wrap dress and ankle-length coat. Wrap dresses are universally flattering and so easy to dress up or down. Opt for a long, ankle-length jacket to make the outfit look even more luxurious.

Remember, the wrap dress is like that friendly neighbor who gets along with everyone. Whether you're sipping hot cocoa with the family or hitting a New Year's Eve bash, this outfit is a win-win.

Outfit 11: Monochrome Magic

Let's talk monochrome, baby. Choose one color and go all out — head to toe. Picture this: a blush pink turtleneck, blush pink straight-leg trousers, and, yes, blush pink loafers. The beauty of a monochrome look is that it's effortless but makes a big impact. It's like saying, "I woke up like this," but in the most stylish way possible.

Don't forget, you can always add a pop of contrast with a handbag or flashy earrings!

Outfit 12: The Culotte Jumpsuit

Now for outfit twelve: the culotte jumpsuit. It's trendy, it's comfy, and it's perfect for holiday festivities. Choose a muted tone, like gray or beige, and layer it over a fitted turtleneck. The turtleneck peeks out just enough to give a layered look, and you can jazz it up with some holiday-themed jewelry.

This outfit is like a mullet but in the best way — business at the top, party at the bottom.

Outfit 13: Bell Sleeve Blouse and Pleated Skirt

Next, we're adding a little drama with outfit thirteen — a bell sleeve blouse and a pleated skirt. The bell sleeves give a retro, 70s vibe, while the pleated skirt adds a touch of modern sophistication. Go for contrasting colors to make each piece stand out.

Remember, this look evokes elegance but in a super fun, "I'm the life of the party" kind of way.

Outfit 14: Layered Tunic over Leggings

Let's take it easy with outfit fourteen — a layered tunic over leggings. This is for those cozy family dinners where you want to look put-together but still be in total comfort mode. Opt for a tunic with fun details like buttons down the side or a ruffled hem, and pair it with classic black leggings.

This outfit is the equivalent of a warm holiday hug, comfy but never sloppy.

Outfit 15: High-waisted Palazzo Pants and Cropped Sweater

For outfit fifteen, think high-waisted palazzo pants paired with a cropped sweater. The high waist keeps it modest, and the cropped sweater adds a little sass. It's a perfect combo for when you want to look chic but feel like you're in your PJs.

I always say palazzo pants are the unsung heroes of the holiday fashion world. They're easy to dress up or down and are oh-so-comfortable.
